    you can really feel the feeling behind the meaning of each song. it’s clear that Louis didn’t make the album with the intention of creating something commercial but rather doing something that he was comfortable with. beautiful songs, impeccable lyrics, angelic vocals and perfect instrumental, it's ano amazing album

    Louis Tomlinson is not only an artist, he is a legend for been so amazingly innovative in the new musical industry.
    This debut album hit #1 in 50 countries (including USA and the UK)! Even though he got zero promo from the manage, only showing that he has raw nature pure talent and that the public knows when something is really good and they just appreciate, not caring for some magazine bad critic, nor if it isn't the style normal played in radios. Because when you feel insecure, you will hear Perfect Now; or when you are missing someone who died, Two of Us will be the first song that will came to your mind; when you feel down, Don't Let It Break Your Heart will save you; when you feel that you achieve your goals, you will hear Walls, cuz you broke down all the obstacles of the way; when you wanna hear something alternative that has never made before, you hear Only the Brave.
    All the song represents the force to keep holding on.    … Expand

    Is very good, for his first album it was an extreme surprise the mature sound and with references to Oasis for example, with songs with references in their origins but with small autobiographical elements. Has great songs, good work.

Always You reminded me a little of obscure pop artists, like MIKA, who sing pure pop songs but are not played on American radio. We Made It had great lyrics and a really funky rhythm, which kind of reminded me a little of spoken word poetry. Only The Brave was a standout because it was a really strong ending to the album.

I saw fans promoting this guy on twitter and decided to give him a chance after finding out that Liam Gallagher doesn’t hate him (which is a **** rarity in itself).

His voice is delightful, definitely not the basic pop voice we have become so used to, but light and airy and admittedly a little scratchy. While there are some songs on the album that definitely are meant for the young teenage fangirls of which he has thousands, there is no shame in admitting that those songs are still lyrically and sonically amazing. After doing some research, I found out that Tomlinson wrote a large number of One Direction’s top hits, hence the similarities in some tracks. My favorites definitely include the title track Walls (which Liam Gallagher was involved in, hence the Oasis-vibes), Fearless and Only The Brave, which is a song less than two minutes long. I probably could not bear it to be any longer, it really pulled at my heart strings. It sounds to me like it’s either an ode to gay love or about his journey of becoming a solo artist, whichever it may be, this song deserves some recognition.… Expand

    listen, as a life long fan i didn’t expect the album to blow me away as much as it did, if i could pick one phrase to describe this album it’d be that there is strength in vulnerability.

    When I was a teen everyone around me was obsessed with One Direction, but it was never really my type, and so I never listened to it. Last year I decided I wanted to know what the former members of the band were up to, and that's when I discovered Louis.

Not only is he a very talented lyricist (his lyrics are wonderful and I still get emotional every time I listen to Two Of Us or Don't Let It Break Your Heart), but also his voice is unlike any other I've ever heard, and I was thrilled to discover he'd be releasing an album. The album is now here, and I've gotta say I can't stop listening to it. His songs are emotional and make you feel things from start to finish.… Expand

    Just listened to the whole album & love how authentic it is! The lyrics of each song are so well written & everyone can relate to them.

    As a local listener to different kinds of music (usually let Spotify recommend me what's new and I personally look for the latest released albums), this album amazed me. Louis was able to provide a well-thought out, personal, and raw list of songs. The instrumentals were calming and beautiful and fit so well with his voice and accent. Truly recommend giving this album a listen!

    The waiting was definitely worth it. Louis delivered a great album with amazing songs. The album is obviously very personal to him, as he is trying to be as honest as possible with the fans. My favourite songs on the album is probably Walls and Defencelles!

I mist admit that while all of the songs are remarkable, there’s just something about ‘Always You’ that makes me want to losten to it on repeat. The upbeat tune and sad lyrics are a very good combo. Well done on your debut album, Louis Tomlinson! Definitely recommend 100%… Expand

    Louis debut is with an amazing album with both pop and indie influences. His lyrics are beautiful, honest and deep. The album starts with “kill my mind” a song that will make you dance and scream and it finishes with “only the brave” a very short song but with a strong message that makes you want more. Can’t wait to hear more of him!

    Try as he may, Tomlinson has not quite progressed from featured voice to solo artist. For all the major changes in his life, his music seems to be stuck in place. You can take the boy out of the boyband, but not the boyband out of the boy.

    Solo debuts with this much expectation are incredible challenges. While “Walls” isn’t a craven ripoff or an attempt to recapture One Direction highs, it’s not yet clear exactly who Tomlinson is without them.

    Even if the songs on Walls aren't the most distinct or memorable, they come from a place of authenticity that's genuinely heartwarming and enjoyable. Like any other settled adult, he's perfectly content to stick to the reliable and Walls winds up being the most mature and natural of the ex-1D bunch.
