While Selena Gomez will unveil next week the title “Bad Liar”, probably in featuring with her darling The Weeknd , today it is the One Direction Harry Styles that monopolizes all our attention. Indeed, just a few hours ago he unveiled his first solo album, soberly titled Harry Styles . Proud of his inspirations, the 23-year-old singer proudly claims them here and does not hesitate to follow in the footsteps of some of his predecessors, always great names of British rock and pop – but not that! With a duration of only 40 minutes, Harry Styles is composed of 10 songs that will rock you all summer . Are you ready ? Let’s go ! It all starts with “Meet Me In The Hallway” , a ballad on which Taylor Swift’s former boyfriend talks about love, with a voice that is reminiscent of Andrew VanWyngarden, MGMT singer and Universe close to that of Elton John. With the guitar helping, the title quickly returns to the head.
Subsequently , Harry Styles drew his “Sign Of The Times” . Piece hovering allowing it to show the full extent of his voice and especially his sensibility, “Sign of The Times” has a piano perfectly used and theatrics perfectly set up by the guitar and who undoubtedly think Queen and David Bowie. In short, a title you can not get tired of! And while Chris Brown recently unveiled the title “Die Young” in featuring with Nas , Harry Styles continues his race with “Carolina” , a groovy and abnormally sexy piece, close to Beck’s universe. He says: “She’s a good girl / She feels so good” In the refrain and we must recognize that this attempt to evoke his sexuality pleases us very much. A rhythmic title on which Mister Styles proves that he is not just a nice boy. But above all a man in the making who assumes his desires . What more ? With “Two Ghosts” , the little darling of the United Kingdom enters its nostalgic phase. Women, the boy has known, but he mostly remembers the end of each relationship, moments announcing a break. He scales “We’re not just we’re gonna stand in the place of you and me” with a disarming sincerity. A rhythmic title on which Mister Styles proves that he is not just a nice boy.

On “Sweet Creature” , we find the Harry Styles dandy class that made his fame. His English charm does the job and would make anyone want to sit with him near a fire and listen to him evoking the tender moments of his short life. The lyrics are simple ( “It gets harder when we argue / We’re both stubborn, I know” ) and this is probably what we like so much about this first solo disc. And while we validate the new clip of Miley Cyrus “Malibu” , Harry Styles allows himself new flights of lyrics on “Only Angel” . The piece begins with a brilliant musical ascent that breaks on a dancing rock. ”
With “Ever Since New York” , the album Harry Styles acquires a swfitien charm (in reference to the popstar Taylor Swift). A ballad, lyrics that are so many anecdotes ( “Brooklyn saw me, empty avenues” ) and the dream of visiting with him the city that never sleeps. Like the “Welcome to New York” by Taylor Swift, the title “Ever Since New York” should please the inhabitants of Big Apple! Small bonus: live, this ballade will tear everything. And while Ed Sheeran has just signed the first single from another One Direction , Harry Styles, Starts in some groovy notes on “Woman” . A piece based on the repetition of the word “woman” and which shows that like Justin Timberlake period The 20/20 Experience , Harry Styles is not only a singer for midinettes ! Finally the album Harry Styles concludes on “From The Dining Table” , a relatively quiet title that begins with the evocation of a masturbation and where the voice of the singer is more sensual than usual. Very oriented years 1970-1980, the first Harry Styles album is a surprising record that suggests everything that this young man has to say. Hopefully, Here his next album he will have time to live other things than painful love stories, we validate Harry Styles ! What do you think of Harry Styles’ debut album?
