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?

MARTIN GARRIX CONFIRMS FRIDAY’S NEW RELEASE IS “BYTE” WITH BROOKS

MARTIN GARRIX CONFIRMS FRIDAY’S NEW RELEASE IS “BYTE” WITH BROOKS MATTHEW MEADOW APRIL 4, 2017 FEATURED NEWS If there was any doubt what Martin Garrix’s Friday release was going to be, that’s all gone now. Martin Garrix shared a string of numbers on Twitter this morning that may seem random if you’re not well versed in binary, but if you are, then you know that this spells “Byte” in no uncertain terms.

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 ...

Harry Styles is upto Something?

Harry Styles is set to have a massive 2017 thanks to his film debut in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, but some suspicious activity on social media — along with a mysterious TV spot that's hyping a certain date — indicates that there may be more to look forward to from the One Direction singer, and soon. On March 25, during an episode of the U.K.'s X Factor, a quick glimmer of a preview flashed that featured Styles, soaking wet, stepping out of a dark room and into a light-filled doorway. There's a long look at those green eyes of his, and as subtle piano plays in the background, the date is revealed: April 7. That's not all, though: Styles flooded his Instagram with ... light. Or blank space. Or maybe he just sat on his phone and accidentally uploaded a bunch of white fields to the photo-sharing app. Whatever it is, he just happened to post these non-pics as the 30-second snippet started making the rounds. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSE0QmtjGon/ ...
