Harry Styles
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 180gm Gatefold Repress. His Debut Solo Release. "When One Direction Went On Hiatus And Its Members Went Their Separate Ways To Work On Solo Projects, The Most Anticipated Of Them Was Harry Styles. His Charming Persona And Elastic Vocals Had Him Positioned As The Timberlake Of The Group -- The One Who Might Be Able To Stake His Own Claim In The Pop Landscape. With His Self-Titled Debut Album, He Does A Fine Job Of Delivering A Statement Of Independence While Staying True To The One Direction Sound. Working With A Small Handpicked Band And Producer Jeff Bhasker, Styles Crafted An Album That Ranges From Intimate To Epic, While Always Keeping The Focus On His Vocals And Doing A Little Self-Exploration In The Lyrics. The Difference Is That With Just One Guy Singing All The Songs, Harry Styles Sounds More Focused And Personal. And His Voice Is A Thing Of Beauty; Soaring On The Big-screen Ballads ("Sign Of The Times"), Reaching Emotional Depths On The Hushed Confessionals ("Meet Me In The Hallway"), And Snapping With A Jagger-esque Strut On The Uptempo Songs ("Only Angel")."
