Harry Styles, I Had Such High Hopes For Your 1st Song

Harry Styles, I Had Such High Hopes For Your 1st Song — But I’m Just Not Here For It:

At the risk of being attacked by Harry Styles fans, I’m just going to say it — I’m really not feeling his new song, you guys! Let me explain…
From the moment Harry Styles, 23, announced the release date of his new song, “Sign of the Times”, I began counting down the days. I couldn’t wait to hear what the One Direction singer had been working on over the last year, and the first thing I did when I woke up for work at 5:00 a.m. on April 7 was hit play. Unfortunately, I wasn’t exactly thrilled by what I heard.

Don’t get me wrong — from the very first note, I nearly melted by the sexy sound of Harry’s voice filling my headphones once again (he sounds AMAZING), and I fully appreciate the fact that he’s finally putting out the music he wants to. “Sign of the Times” is an incredibly mature song, with a sound that compares to that of Queen, Bon Iver or David Bowie, but it just feels like Harry’s trying too hard.

Of course, I don’t think he should’ve come out with a track that sounds exactly like what 1D’s done for years, but this just feels too distant from what fans are used to and expect from him. When Zayn Malik, 24, put out “Pillowtalk” in 2016, it was very different from One Direction, but it was still current, understandable and relatable to his loyal followers, proving it’s possible to produce a new sound while still staying true to what your listeners want. To me, “Sign of the Times” just doesn’t do that.

Harry Styles’ Hair Through The Years — PICS
Harry’s fans blew up Twitter with praise and excitement when he put out the song, but I’m pretty sure he would’ve gotten a positive reaction no matter what he released — his fans are SO loyal! That’s great and all, but I’m just trying to be honest here: Pretend this song isn’t by Harry Styles…would you still be as in love with it?

, what do you think of Harry’s new song? Are you loving it…or not a huge fan, like me?

BREAKING: FIRST SINGLE FROM AVICII’S FORTHCOMING THIRD ALBUM LEAKS

BREAKING: FIRST SINGLE FROM AVICII’S FORTHCOMING THIRD ALBUM LEAKS MATTHEW MEADOW APRIL 1, 2017 FOR THE LULZ NEWS After teasing new material on Instagram and social media for the past couple months, the first single from Avicii’s forthcoming third album has leaked online. Titled “Rise From The Ashes,” the song’s intent is clear as day. After retiring from touring, Avicii buckled down and hit the studio harder than ever, and we’ve been expecting new music and a new album this year. “Rise From The Ashes” features soft guitar plucks and swelling chords, evoking an image of a man broken down and distraught clawing his way back to salvation. As expected, this new song is a little less EDM, and a bit more along the lines of his last album, infusing indie folk and blue grass with pop and electronic influences. The song is breathtakingly beautiful, despite being outside the normal “EDM” realm. Listen to the song below now, before it inevitably gets

SPOTIFY IS TESTING LOSSLESS AUDIO. CAN YOU HEAR THE DIFFERENCE?

SPOTIFY IS TESTING LOSSLESS AUDIO. CAN YOU HEAR THE DIFFERENCE? by Frank Bi and Andrew Marino Apr 5, 2017, 12:11pm EDT Illustrations by William Joel / The Verge Is lossless audio really worth it? In March, Spotify briefly A/B tested a new lossless audio version of its streaming service. Spotted by Reddit users and confirmed to The Verge by a source inside Spotify, the new tier, currently dubbed Spotify Hi-Fi, will cost an additional $5 to $10 a month on top of the service’s $10 monthly price for its premium ad-free streaming service. Though a Spotify spokesperson declined to confirm the existence of the new tier, the move would not be unexpected; streaming service competitor Tidal already offers high-fidelity streaming for $19.99 a month. Up until now, Spotify has compressed audio down to a bitrate of 160 kbps on desktop or 96 kbps on mobile devices — Spotify calls this rate “normal.” Paid subscribers also have a “high quality” option of 320 kbps a
