    Really strong sophomore album - great from the first listen. A number of different producers but it really hangs together. The songwriting is excellent and the execution sublime especially with headphones. So many great songs - Falling and She are standouts. Play on repeat.

    Not to sound like a music snob, but I’m an opera singer and I really have a hard time listening to most popular music. I don’t like auto tuned, highly produced, commercial sounds.

He’s also not worried about fitting into a particular genre, which is refreshing and allows for a lot of creativity in his music. My two favorite songs from the album are “Falling” for its raw honesty and vocals and “Watermelon Sugar” for its instrumentation and delivery, and really just because it makes me happy. Give the album a listen if you haven’t already. You won’t be sorry. Expand

    Fine Line, from top to bottom, is definitely a beautiful piece of work and Style's finest work to date. With a broader variety of sounds than his previous work, includes his deepest cuts in Cherry and Falling, but also radio friendly bangers like Lights Up, Watermelon Sugar and Adore You. The result is an eclectic mix of genres glued together by his stunning vocal performances.

I had known about him during his One Direction times, and then when he released his first ever solo album with songs like ‘Sweet Creature’ and ‘Kiwi’. But i had never really, truly listened to his songs, or taken any interest in him as an artist. I think the first song i heard from this album was ‘Watermelon Sugar’ and it instantly gave me such a Summer nostalgia. Simply listening to it made me feel like it was Summer and i was with my friends, adventuring, going on road trips, just having the time of my life. This is the thing about his album. ‘Fine Line’ makes you feel so many things, while the songs are absolutely stunning and astounding. They are all total bops but will probably have you crying your eyes out, head burrowed into the pillow at 3am. Or maybe that’s just me... You can see Harry being so vulnerable and personal in a lot of these songs, like ‘Cherry’, ‘Falling’, ‘Fine Line’. It’s amazing how this openness and raw emotions reflect back to you and just touch your soul, sympathize and deeply resonate with you. Adding a voicemail at the end of ‘Cherry’ was such a bold move, on the verge of crossing the immensely fine line between his music and his very personal life. But it added so much to the song, made it even more beautiful and completed it. This album starts off with more lighthearted, fun songs like ‘Golden’, ‘Watermelon Sugar’ and ‘Adore You’. It’s almost like we are following his journey, as he battles with some hardships and good times turn into bad ones. Even the structure of this album is worthy of praise. And the music videos for ‘Lights Up’ and ‘Adore You’ are just so cool and tell an amazing story. The lyrics and the music of all the songs are just so good. So deep and beautiful. I’ve never head any other Album resonate with me more. The Pop-Rock sound, accentuated with some Indie and punk fits his voice so well and translates beautifully into these 12 songs. I’ve tried so hard to choose a favorite, but i think it’s impossible, They are all so SO heavenly. I’ve made all my friends and family and strangers listen to it. It’s that good, just makes you want to share its beauty with the world. Anyway, listen to it, bless your ears. Expand

    The kind of album that finds the fine line between all that’s good about modern pop/rock and the eclectic eccentricities of classic rock. Think Fleetwood Mac meets Hunky Dory Bowie meets Mark Ronson. Don’t let critical snobs or boy band archetypes hinder your decision to listen and go into this realizing this is the ascension of a new artist free from that aforementioned boy band.

    Free of the shackles that hobbled his debut, Styles manages to show more of his personality here, especially on the Vampire Weekend-style Sunflower, Vol. 6. It's just a shame he can't quite keep up with his ambition. [Feb 2020, p.110]

    Fine Line is entirely inoffensive, but it’s also open-ended, and maybe those questions are the reward. Maybe Harry Styles just wants to keep us guessing.
