“When Maj and I got together at the beginning, we wanted to make music for the people around us and ourselves,” Jordan says. From the opening seconds of the synth-pop jam “Dancing on a Dream” to the final moments of the tranquil serenade “Sweet,” Majid Jordan zeroes in on the weightlessness that comes with surrendering to love, hope, and joy. The result is something like ecstasy unmuted. “I think there's just a lot of growth-musical growth, personal growth, our family and friends, our circles getting a little bigger, thankfully-and we were able to put together an album that represents that hiatus.” “I think looking back to our last album, the music is like a photograph that we were able to see who we were then and where we are now,” producer Jordan Ullman tells Apple Music. Between touring and traveling-in hotels and tour buses, in Toronto, Los Angeles, and Bahrain-they were consistently working on music, evolving into an even more polished version of themselves. But really, the seeds were being planted for Wildest Dreams, their third LP, long before, as they were riding the success of 2017's The Space Between. Here's Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version), along with the original below.“When the pandemic hit, it's like there was nothing else to do, so we made an album,” says Majid Al Maskati of the Canadian duo Majid Jordan. Swift joined TikTok last month and has already amassed 4 million followers. The original version hit 750,000 plays in a day earlier this week, which still paled in comparison to Friday's rerelease. Around four hours after Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) was released, it raked in 2 million plays. Variety noted that the rerecorded version of Wildest Dreams quickly surpassed the original song's Spotify record for the most plays in a day. A big reason fans were surprised about the release Friday of Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) is that the track is from the album 1989, which hasn't yet been given a rerelease date.
Her next rerecording, Red (Taylor's Version), is slated for a Nov. In April, Swift released her first album rerecording, Fearless (Taylor's Version). The rerecorded songs are dubbed "Taylor's Version." After signing a new record deal with Universal's Republic Records in 2018, in which she ensured she'd own her future masters, Swift announced she was rerecording her older music in a bid to get her versions of those songs to overtake the popularity of the originals. Swift has been rerecording her first six albums after her old record label, Big Machine Records, sold her master recordings. Hi!

Two hours later, she posted another video using the rerecording, with on-screen text reading, "You set a date in November with Red but then someone mentions 1989," referencing her two different albums, which are both slated to be rereleased (more on that in a moment). Swift has been rerecording her first six albums following a dispute with her old label. The original version of the song, released in 2014, has been trending on TikTok lately, with people using it alongside videos in which the camera slowly zooms in on their face. Taylor Swift gave fans a surprise gift on Friday: her rerecorded version of Wildest Dreams.
