'I'm more confident than ever': James Corden reveals he feels 'incredible' after two stone weight loss In the here today, gone tomorrow world of boy bands, it will be a while before we see their like again. Never Enough, co-written by Niall Horan, is all barbershop vocals and clicking fingers, while the ear-catching close harmonies of What A Feeling sail closer to Crosby, Stills & Nash than they do to Boyzone or Westlife.Ĭonsidering that their first two albums stuck to a polished, bubblegum script without adding anything remotely challenging, One Direction’s progress over the final two years of an astonishingly successful career has been remarkable. One Direction address their impending sabbatical again on Long Way Down, a country-pop ballad on which they sing of ‘having it all and walking away’, but there is happily some fun to be had amid the bitter-sweet farewells. The boy clearly needs a break, but the bright, unpretentious pop stomp of Olivia, co-written by Harry, suggests that the pin-up is not going to take himself too seriously once that inevitable solo career gets going. ‘If you like cameras flashing every time we go out, and if you’re looking for someone to write your break-up songs about, baby I’m perfect,’ chirps Harry.įurther clues to how a future Styles solo project might sound arrive on If I Could Fly, an Angels-like piano ballad that finds him singing forlornly if impressively: ‘If I could fly, I’d come right back home to you.’ It also makes an unchivalrous reference to Harry Styles’s fling with Taylor Swift and the fact that the country superstar penned the song Style about him after the romance ended.
Things take a more intriguing twist on current single Perfect, which plays on the band’s transition from squeaky-clean reality TV idols to wannabe bad boys. LAst but not least: As they finally ride off into the sunset, it’s no wonder One Direction sound exhausted End Of The Day, a gently ebbing pop number, embraces the one-size-fits-all emotions of a typical Coldplay track. The quartet, aged between 21 and 23, begin by staking a claim on the man-band terrain of Take That: Hey Angel is an expansive ballad underpinned by a drum loop, and Infinity a smooth love song. The band’s swansong even tips its hat to glossy Eighties radio-rock and folk in a belated attempt to appeal not just to loyal teenage Directioners, but to their long-suffering parents as well. There are yearning ballads, radio-friendly choruses and a fondness for a hybrid of pop and rock that lies somewhere between Take That and Coldplay. The band’s fifth album - and their first since founder member Zayn Malik walked out in the spring - builds on the more mature rock influences that were introduced on 2013’s Midnight Memories and last year’s Four to move the remaining foursome even further away from the blazers and choreographed routines that were the hallmarks of boy bands not so long ago. On the evidence of Made In The A.M., they are at least going out on a musical high.
