Fádo Fádo, I told you I would conduct an experiment on whether One Direction were for me or not. I have concluded and the results have been staggering. I have diagnosed myself with One Direction Infection! I love their album Up All Night!
I have to say, they are very talented boys and I love their happy go lucky sound. There's a great mix of genre on their album too! You have your upbeat tunes like What Makes You Beautiful and One Thing, you then have your dance tracks Stole My Heart and Save You Tonight, the ballad Gotta Be You, and of course your slower songs Moments (brings a tear to me eye;S) and More Than This. Overall it makes great listening to! Its defo more for the younger ears though. I doubt my mam would appreciate me blaring it in the car....
I like to pride myself on the fact that I fell in love with their music before I did them. That, to me, is what makes a great artist. Their fans love their music and them! Honestly their interviews are a howl to watch and they're live (and acoustic) versions are fab too! (Here's a video of an amazing and hilarious prank they pulled on each other!)
The very simple but affective music lines of the guitars and keyboards, with their amazng vocal harmonies is just fantastic! They are not trying to hide anything, like a weaker voice or anything! They all have such different voices too which makes for a great sound. They also wrote some of the songs themselves which is nice to see. Ed Sheeran worte Moments with them and it's interesting to hear the similarities with his own stuff, also Tom Flecther wrote I Want for them which has a real pop rock sound to it, like McFly's stuff, and Kelly Clarkson gave them a song sing didn't put on her own album Tell Me a Lie, and as soon as you hear it you can say she obvo wrote that! I love that mix on the album itself and it great for such young artists to try different stuff. That's why I can't wait to hear their next album because hopefully it will have a more mature sound and a more set sound for the boys!
I've heard a lot of covers of 1D's stuff too. Recently one of my favorite Youtube channels ThePianoGuys did an odd, but amazing cover of What Makes You Beautiful! It is Amazing! Over 4millon views already! Also Boyce Avenue did a cover of it too that was sweet, the guitar making it quiet different.
So yes, I'm a bit of a fan girl now...not the camping outside hotels and screaming till I'm hoarse kind though. And I'm really looking forward to hearing their second album in a couple months!!
I think the moral of the story is; Never judge a book by it's cover.
Thanking You,
Roisin
