This fresh faced young Irishman who (technically) is still a member of One Direction is getting 5 stars from me. It's impossible to describe how this collection of his own songs makes me feel. I am truly impressed. The way his voice has evolved just amazes me.
It's so refreshing to hear sweet, original and simple (in a VERY good way) music in today's world. Niall went above and beyond what I was expecting. The emotion is there and the foot-tapping beat is also there. And if you know Niall, as in if you are a fan of him, it also captures the innocence that will always be present in him. It's just an intrinsic part of him.
Coming from someone who is not in the music industry--just really enjoys good music, know that I can only give you my personal opinion, and I don't know the technical and musical terms, but I sure know when I like something, and believe me, this album will be played until it is literally played out. And then I'll buy another...
1. "On the Loose." Whoa! The first half dozen times I heard this song, I didn't think much of it. But it's one of those songs that really grow on you like wildfire. The beat is incredible, the bass fantastic. You just want to dance to it! Clever lyrics, and very engaging.
2. "This Town." This song has been out for a few months now, and became super popular fairly quickly. It's nostalgic, and it makes one think of home, or... possibly a certain band you might be missing a lot. Certainly some sweet memories, and a heart that throbs with a bittersweet ache.
3. Seeing Blind. Loved it the first time I heard it, which was today--a rare occurrence. Definite touch of country to this one. (And I've never been into country music). You just can't help but love the way Niall harmonizes with the female singer. Notice the instrumentals, all the special touches.
4. Slow Hands. This one has been out for only a couple of months (?) and I knew from the first time I heard it that it would be BIG. And it is--it's topping the charts as I type. This is another one with a country flavor to it. Has an excellent beat, and the embellishments thrown in are JUST RIGHT. A little on the naughty side, and a delightful surprise coming from Niall, who will always, to me, be the cheerful, somewhat naive, eternally young boy who was forever laughing when he first joined One Direction. It certainly shows he has a sexy side! An addictive song, to say the least.
5."Too Much to Ask." I can't pick a favorite from this album, but "Too Much to Ask" has to be right up there with "Slow Hands" "Since We're Alone" and "Flicker." Love the descriptive lyrics, and there's a certain magic inserted into this tune that has me mesmerized.
6."Paper Houses." Too early on, and I've just heard it for the first time today. So it needs time to grow on me, as I'm sure it will.
7."Since We're Alone." Such captivating lyrics and rhythm to this song!. It's clear he put a lot of time and thought into this song. I love how he put it together. So original. "If you get lost it's okay--I can see in the dark." Just heard it today, and I'm totally in love with this song already.
8. "Flicker." Wow, just wow! No words could ever describe how this song picks me up and carries me away to some Wonderland far away. Might sound cheesy, but that's how it affects me. It's very melancholy, sad, and just plain BEAUTIFUL. A true love song. You would be hard-put to find someone who DOESN'T love this song. I can see why he named the album after it.
"Fire Away." Jury isn't in on this one yet. I need to listen to it more.
"You And Me." The growl he emits and the "hook" are very appealing. His voice has matured. I have a feeling there will be much more of this in future albums.
"On My Own." Quite a bit of a country twist, and almost has a taste of the sound of Jon Bon Jovi. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd almost think it WAS Bon Jovi! Shows off how diverse Niall can be, as the tenor in the previous song gives way to a rich baritone in this piece.
"Mirrors." Jury out on this one too. Doesn't stand out much to me now, but that may very well change.
"The Tide." It's coming. Stay close, hold steady. I have to wonder if this song doesn't have something to do with 1D. I could be wrong. But the lyrics suggest a fear of losing something. "I don't want it to end." Very poignant.
I truly hope that 1D gets back together. Each one has proven they can do it all on their own, and that is a testament to their talent, collectively and singly. But I digress. In any case, there is no question this young man is extremely talented. And I have a feeling it's only going to get better...
