    A very varied album, with different songs to surprise with each one. The artist really managed to use his talent in the vocals and capture it throughout the songs to prove it.

    If youre looking for something different and exciting from an album DONT listen to LP1. Waste of time. Basically a mixture of generic pop dance songs with little to no lyrical complexity. The only bright spot is the use of strong bass at some points that covers up the horrible lyrics.

This song is flooded with generic beats and a voice that doesn't vocalize any emotions, which makes the album boring and gives me a huge urge to shut it off.

    With heavy and awkward sexual statements and very poor representation of bisexuality, some of the features and some of the singing are the only redeemable qualities off of this otherwise forgettable album.
    I believe that he's capable of delivering a fun enjoyable project but he needs to learn from this horrible backlash and grow as an artist, or just drop it all together and become a model, maybe he just wants money and doesn't give a **** about the art , and that's ok, horrible album, not waiting for anything he drops anytime soon.

    When worldwide musical phenomenon One Direction announced its split back in 2015 the world was shocked. Thousands cried enough tears to see their own reflection in them. What helped 1D's fans to stop with this life-drama was the fact that they could now be able to go to their favorite member's tour and enjoy their solo music.

What helped 1D's fans to stop with this life-drama was the fact that they could now be able to go to their favorite member's tour and enjoy their solo music.
    Payne started teasing a solo album back in 2017 and the world couldn't be more pleased with his debut single. This, however, evolved to a series of too-commercial bubblegum pop singles that have been included in "LP1" which, thanks to this, has been transformed in a kind of greatest hits album with a couple of new tracks in order to achieve a gold certification faster.
    LP1's production is predictable and too teen. It exposes that he hasn't evolved in years and has stuck to his teenage years; in this fairytale non-realistic world. In conclusion, the album is too generic and boring. A terrible move for Liam Payne whose future seems dark if he continues putting this kind of songs which only appeal to sex out instead of focusing on growing up musically and personally.

    Over sexualises everything and the beats are nothing new.

    He relies on inane songwriting concepts, rote misogyny, and feelingless flexing. The lyrics are puerile and half-baked.

    Spread over 17 songs that tick off genres with all the flair of an automated Spotify playlist, Payne’s anonymity remains the album’s default through line. Occasionally painful yet weirdly Payne-less.

    Ultimately, a few things come from repeated listenings of “LP1″: First off, the writing and singing aren’t strong enough and come across as C-level Timberlake material. Two, without being surrounded by 1D, he shouldn’t sing high, flightily and airily, but rather stick to slow, low groovers. Three, Payno should find one or two styles that work best for him — and not put a host of other singers before him, male or female — and stick to them.
