you know what the coolest thing – ok, at least one majorly cool thing – about all of 1d’s solo music?? it’s the way their individual styles filtered into the band’s music. like, there’s louis’s upbeat-sounding stuff on songs like ‘no control,’ harry’s big throwback style on songs like ‘what a feeling,’ niall’s stripped-back tendencies on ‘fool’s gold,’ and liam on bops like ‘better than words’ …like, for all that critics just CANNOT BELIEVE these are those kids from the boyband, they’re really just exactly who they always were
