    It's really good and definitely has the potential to get him a wider audience especially with "Written All Over Your Face". I do think that he should try to experiment a bit more with new sounds but it definitely sounds like he's going in the right direction.

    Perfect from top to bottom, you can clearly notice the grown in his vocals and techniques, and a lot of different sounds that fit perfectly in his voice. Forever proud of this rockstar!

Incrível demais, a evolução do louis como artista vem sendo cada vez mais um motivo de orgulho pra mim, ver ele crescer cada vez mais e desenvolver o artista que ele realmente é e gosta de ser, é simplesmente inefável… Expand

    louis' evolution from the last album to this one is visible even to non-fans, he clearly found himself musically and this is very important for his musical career. all the songs have lovely and really striking lyrics, the beats are danceable and clearly show the musical style that louis will follow from now on. everyone should give this album a chance, it's really good, keep the deserved 10

    This is the louis we always knew was there. If you are familiar with his Spotify playlist of songs he likes to listen to on tour, you can really get a grasp of his influences. He has really come into his sound over these 10 plus years in the industry.

    Just addicted to this album. It's reallyyy good even I who already thought he has a good voice and incredible songwriting ability was surprised by how good this album turned out to be. I'm pretty picky in choosing songs and even though I've been a fan of some singers for 4+ years, I still can dislike some of their songs and need several repeats to finally like some songs.

It's reallyyy good even I who already thought he has a good voice and incredible songwriting ability was surprised by how good this album turned out to be. I'm pretty picky in choosing songs and even though I've been a fan of some singers for 4+ years, I still can dislike some of their songs and need several repeats to finally like some songs. However, in this album, I loved majority of the songs from the first time listening. Each song in this album has its own vibes and is different from the others and I might say this album took me on a journey, where at first tracks I can feel the excitement and headbanging vibes, and then to middle tracks that were quite emotional but still upbeat song--mellow and sensitive lyrics with upbeat songs, that's it!--and at the end of the album, the songs were about saying goodbyes but don't wanna say goodbye, just like my feeling towards the album! Really like this album and I'm a bit guilty of kinda neglecting Walls...

    Here's my recommendation for first time listening to his songs: written all over your face (it makes you dance), angels fly (warm, warm hug, comforting song), Chicago (beautiful forgiving song, like a warm hug), headline (very good 80's vibes and makes you dance), silver tongues (happy relationship where you don't want to part ways).

    And here's my fav, not in order:

    Immediately loving them: the greatest, written all over your face, bigger than me, lucky again, face the music, Chicago, out of my system, headline, silver tongues, common people, angels fly

    Need second time listening: all this time, saturdays, holding on to the heartache (BUT THIS ENDS UP BEING ONE OF MY FAVS, the bridgeee dudee!)

    Sometimes skip it: she is beauty we are world class.    … Expand

    You can tell the improvement between album 1 and 2. Faith in the future represents a new era in his artistic path, in which he is not afraid to challenge himself any more. Loved it from top to bottom, everyone should give it a listen.

    Really great album! Tomlinson is the kind of artist who is multi-talented. Also, he's always improving in his music career. Good voice that puts emotions into his sound. And is an amazing lyricist that puts us into some kind of experience with his stories.

    This album is so good. It's hard to say which song is my favorite because they are all great.
    The lyrics are so meaningful as well.
    I recommend you to listen to it at least once and no matter what's your taste in music I'm pretty sure that you will have some favorite songs in it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most gorgeous work of music I have ever heard. Sixteen songs on the album and no two sound the same. Interesting music that doesn't fit into the box of 'pop' anymore, through and through an alternative album. Banger after banger with Louis's soulful voice and sick instruments. Great sounds and melody whether its guitars, drums, pianos or violins. Such a brave album with incredible song writing. It is an experience, it is a warm hug, it is coming home, it is the last song on a biryhday night. Absolutely amazing.… Expand

    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.
