"Closure" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. She intended the track to be for the American indie folk band Big Red Machine, but ended up including it on her ninth studio album, Evermore (2020). Swift wrote the song with its producer Aaron Dessner and has additional production from BJ Burton and James McAlister. An electronic and industrial folk tune, "Closure" has piano and staccato drum instrumentation and a 5
4 time signature.
Production and release
[edit]Music and lyrics
[edit]"Closure" has a length of three minutes.[1]
"Closure" is set over a time signature of 5
4.[2] Critics described the genre as electronic[2] or industrial folk.[3] Esquire's author Alan Light thought the track was "near industrial".[4] The production incorporates piano[5] and staccato drum instrumentation.[2] The drum's inclusion was likened to those of Nine Inch Nails[3] and the Postal Service.[6] Brodie Lancaster of The Sydney Morning Herald believed that it was generated by a synthesizer.[7] For Vulture's Nate Jones, he insisted that the track would have been more subdued without the drum.[6] According to The New York Times' journalist Jon Pareles, the percussion was "insistently clattering" and featured "electronic creaks".[8] Swift employs short but tense wording[9] and scare quotes.[10]
