... that "New Year's Day" by Taylor Swift was recorded in "scratch takes" that do not filter out unwanted sounds from the outer environment? Source: "it was the quickest [song to record]. If you listen to the piano on that record, you can hear me moving around. You hear things clicking. Those are the “scratch takes” — we did that very quickly. It came out in that sort of goofy Hollywood version of how music is written, where it comes out of moments of inspiration." Source: EW

Article promoted to GA on 7 January, long enough, sourced and neutral. Earwig flagged a blog post but since it was published last month it's probably them copying from the article. Hooks referenced and interesting though ALT0 seems better. QPQ done. Corachow (talk) 01:15, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
