Fans can now hear a snippet of Taylor Swift’s re-recorded version of “Out of the Woods” in a new trailer for the upcoming animated film “Migration.” It previews her rerecorded 2014 song a few weeks ahead of the full “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” album release.
The 60-second trailer features Swift’s rendition of the instantly recognizable “Out of the Woods” chorus and bridge. Her soaring vocals breathing new life into the song should excite fans.
Co-written and produced with Jack Antonoff, “Out of the Woods” was originally released as a single from Swift’s 2014 pop breakthrough “1989.”
The remastered take arrives October 27th alongside the rest of the highly anticipated “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” containing 26 re-recorded songs.
The nostalgic track fits the premise of “Migration,” which follows a family of ducks leaving their woodland home for a vacation. Its talented voice cast includes Awkwafina, Kumail Nanjiani and Keegan-Michael Key.
Fans first heard the new “Out of the Woods” snippet when the “Migration” trailer screened before Swift’s record-breaking “Eras Tour” concert film in theaters.
It exemplifies Swift’s savvy promotional strategy, allowing listeners a taste of re-recorded work before its official debut. She previously previewed two rerecorded songs in ad spots before their release.
Swifties closely analyze the re-recordings for subtle sonic differences that distinguish them from her original catalogs. The minor variations carry great meaning for her fans.
The pop visionary inaugurated her mission to remake albums one through six last year with “Fearless (Taylor’s Version).” It aims to reclaim ownership after her masters were sold in 2019.
By featuring a reinvented classic in the “Migration” trailer, Swift creatively sustains anticipation for “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” and its vault tracks.
The album promises to transport fans back to Swift’s imperial pop phase with improved vocals and maturity. Sneak-peeking its magic is vintage Swift marketing.
Once again, she assertively controls the narrative around her art. Swift’s ever-evolving vocals breathing new life into “Out of the Woods” make the film trailer a can’t-miss event for devotees.
The pop craftsman’s attention to detail rewards eagle-eyed supporters. Delighting her loyal listeners remains Swift’s north star while redefining the music business on her terms.
