    Louis breaks the chains between lyrics and music with Faith In The Future. He frees them from each other to tell two different stories: the one he tells with words, and the statement he makes with music. A freedom that, nevertheless, doesn't erase the perfect match of both.

While it was obviously written with live performances in mind, it also has the feat of making you feel like you're at the arena and want to scream the lyrics at the top of your lungs. He knows his strengths and he plays them, showcasing his honest-as-ever songwriting through ballad-like tunes like Angels Fly and That’s The Way Love Goes, but he also knows that he's at his best when he goes all out. A personal and popular favourite is Written All Over You Face, an indie disco anthem that reveals a side of Tomlinson previously unseen, a punch in the gut we can't get enough of. And, of course, each of his songs bears his signature Yorkshire accent, endearing and, in an era of standardized and Americanized singing, is refreshing with authenticity.… Expand

    i thought the album took on a new sound for tomlinson, anyone who has been following his career will see the development of the musician and his stylistic choices. The new album has a early indie rock feel and although not taking too much of a change in tone, if you are into a mix of soft rock and early 2000s indie pop you will adore this album.

    While other 1D members might grab more of the public spotlight, Tomlinson proves his strength as a songwriter and voice for fans with more complex, deeper emotions.

    If anything, however, new album ‘Faith In The Future’ is simply too nice. The songwriting is sturdy and well-formed, leaning on his indie roots – you can hear ghosts of the Gallaghers, whispers of Chris Martin – without ever truly channelling something dangerous, or edgy. ... It just doesn’t raise the pulse, or quicken the blood-flow in a way you might long for.
