First two albums of my 2021 journey have been downloaded. Zayn Malik and You Me At Six.
I'm fascinated by the One Direction boys; as a collective, they were just typical boy band fare. Inoffensive, easily digestible pop songs aimed towards the teenage girl demographic. But their solo careers have been wildly eclectic. Harry Styles solo stuff has been fantastic, and Niall Horan's last album was a surprisingly good one. Louis and Liam have deservedly tanked, which leaves Zayn, who I think fluctuates wildly between being OK and being terrible. I'm hoping he pulls something surprising out of his new one.
