ok i like this one
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 February 2016 13:57 (eight years ago) link
yeah, it's way better than 'pillowtalk'. with this one i'm starting to have some expectations about what's coming from zayn.

for some reasons i listened to this once and immediately had to go listen to "the lion sleeps tonight"

This is the most ridiculous tracklist ever

i feel like there should be a Zayn thread just because i click on this thread because it's a One Direction thread and i'm still pretty dubious about his solo stuff

I can pretty much guarantee that the tracklisting will be more interesting than the actual music, if only marginally so.

kinda excited for the kehlani collab.

"it's you" still sounds to me like a song frank ocean might write for a disney movie

my wife said she spent an hour listening to One Direction yesterday. SUCCESS!

this is more like what i was expecting. kinda coasts on vibe but i can see myself really falling for it

this stuff is all pretty middling
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 March 2016 16:56 (eight years ago) link
the typography of the song titles ;_;
i'm sort of surprised he can't sell any of these songs memorably, they're forgettable and i think it's largely due to him. "like i would" is just wooden oversinging from start to end
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:16 (eight years ago) link
like it's really not a great sign when i'm thinking "man, nick jonas would sound so much better on this"
(jojo covered "pillowtalk" live last week and it was the first time i'd thought it was a half-decent song)
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:18 (eight years ago) link
yeah as y'all can probably tell i am really struggling to like a zayn song
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 March 2016 18:38 (eight years ago) link
he's really not a good singer
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 17 March 2016 19:00 (eight years ago) link
his "no type" cover was the signal for me
I actually really like Be4uR, but remain cold to pretty much everything else he's released.
― Greer, Thursday, 17 March 2016 19:08 (eight years ago) link
this is the most thrilling song zayn released, but it still isn't enough for me. i liked it, but i don't think i need to hear it many more times, so that must mean something...

i wish i used bookmarks so i could dramatically remove one from this thread

sorry his solo stuff isn't good enough to give him a thread
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 18 March 2016 03:54 (eight years ago) link
basically i want a Rolling Almost R&B thread where people can talk about Zayn and Nick Jonas far away from here and the R&B thread

Funny given how this thread started off.
― Greer, Friday, 18 March 2016 13:40 (eight years ago) link
"it's you" is my fav of the zayn crop. i kinda like "pillowtalk" too and the rest i can do without. generally disappointing, yeah.
rolling almost r&b thread is a good idea

― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 18 March 2016 16:00 (eight years ago) link
we could prob just give zayn it's own thread, i have a hard enough time keeping up w/ the rolling threads for music i actually like
― J0rdan S., Friday, 18 March 2016 16:00 (eight years ago) link
rolling bootleg miguel thread
― maura, Friday, 18 March 2016 16:06 (eight years ago) link
dunno why rolling pop isn't good enough for either zayn or jonas
am perched for a budget jeremih to pop up so i can call him jeremeh

this zayn stuff isn't good but neither is 1D so
― Hey (Extended Mix), Friday, 18 March 2016 20:07 (eight years ago) link
i'm way more into the idea of zayn as a popstar than the reality of zayn as a popstar

this really sums up twitter culture of stanning for popstars despite continually underwhelming actual material

it's better than i predicted but it also should be better.
― Nourry, Thursday, 24 March 2016 00:40 (eight years ago) link
imo it's not very good at all
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 March 2016 00:41 (eight years ago) link
i appreciate some of the songs: 'befour', 'she', 'drunk', 'wrong', 'borderz', but in the end it lacks charisma. the songs aren't really there and most of the time it seems he doesn't know how to enhance them. i didn't hear the deluxe songs.it could be worse, i guess, i don't want to be too harsh on him, i suppose.
― Nourry, Thursday, 24 March 2016 01:01 (eight years ago) link
i also would like to read a review of the album that doesn't have such a reductive point of view about one direction as this one:

I actually liked the album
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Thursday, 24 March 2016 01:38 (eight years ago) link
i've only heard pillowtalk which didn't do much for me. a katherine recommendation is probably good enough reason to dive in tho
