12/27/2023 0 Comments Harry styles fine lineAll three of the albums singles, to me, showcased a more modern and contemporary sound for Harry, and so I was curious to see how he’d mix that with his love for 60s and 70s rock, or if he’d even do that at all. Sara Santora: I can honestly say I was completely impressed and amazed upon my first listen. Overall, Fine Line to me was as full of wonder as it was full of truth, and I truly appreciated Styles’ sonic approach to a sort of vintage, free-falling sound. While I do think it was kind of a major jump between the raw sound of his debut record, this one felt a little more lighthearted, a little freer, and if it’s even possible, a little more Harry. He’s stepped out of the shadow of One Direction in a way that his former bandmates haven’t (save for maybe Niall Horan).Įrica Garcia: I sat down on the midnight it came out and played the album front to back and thoroughly enjoyed it. It isn’t a perfect record, but it’s his arrival as an artist with something of his own to say. Whereas then he seemed to struggle in finding his voice (I could listen to a song and tell you exactly which classic rock artist he was aping), he wades into the deep end here. Fine Line is a marked expansion from his self-titled debut. “Watermelon Sugar” and “Adore You” brought me around in a big way though, and the rest of the album only improved on their promise. It felt a lot like “Sign of the TImes” in that regard - high-minded and experimental, but not particularly fun. Having listened to it now as a whole, and having understood its message and narrative, I can say that I really do like it.Īnthony Kozlowski: When “Lights Up” dropped, it didn’t get a lot of replay for me. I expected a record which is very different to the first album I initially thought it would be a lot more commercial than the first record. As a big fan of the musical style of his first solo album Sign of the Times, the singles seemed a lot more pop orientated than the last record was to me. Nina Schaarschmidt: My initial reactions when I first heard the three in advanced released singles was very mixed.
