    Great album from start to finish. Incredibly personal, passionate with a well constructed, brutally honest narrative. Perfect balance of heartbreak and fun. A story about redemption, and life-the good and the bad. Highly recommend everyone, no matter age, race, gender- give this album a listen. There really is something for everyone to enjoy or gain from.

    Stevie Nicks was right when she said it was a great album. If you want music that actually sounds unique, and not like the same five songs they play on the radio ad nauseam, give this album a listen. Each song sounds different and unique, and if you listen to the songs in order, the way the artist intended, it genuinely tells a story. I loved it.

    Fine line is an amazing album. All the tracks are different and and special. In this way, Harry Styles turned his second album into one of the best of 2019, and it certainly showed talent and potential to be the biggest star of the next decade.

    In terms of songwriting, Styles takes a step back from his self-titled record, his first. But in terms of aesthetic and vision, it’s leagues ahead. It’s a shame the songs aren’t stellar, because the vibe certainly is, but luckily, it’s got a few absolute hits — namely, “Adore You” and “Lights Up” — to serve as highlights and permanent playlist fixtures.

O álbum não é sobre sexo e se sentir triste. O álbum é mais sobre relacionamentos e ter o coração partido, só que, de alguma forma, ele te da esperança de que tudo vai ficar bem. O instrumental é maravilhoso, os vocais dele estão melhores do que nunca, e é realmente difícil escolher a melhor música.

A visão de Styles entra no mundo da subjetividade e cabe ao público sua melhor interpretação, então, como sou o público alvo do próprio estou aqui para interpretar suas faixas que muitas vezes parecem poesias que ganharam melodias e grandes produções.
    Em suas entrevistas o cantor obviamente recebeu vários questionamentos como “sobre o que o álbum fala?”, “sobre quem?”, entre outras, que são perguntas que todo e qualquer cantor recebe antes e após o lançamento de seu álbum. As respostas que tivemos então foram: O Álbum fala sobre sexo e se sentir triste, e também, sobre seu ex-relacionamento com a modelo Camille Rowe. Sem deixar de fora o fato de Harry ter comentado muito sobre ter feito uso de cogumelos durante a produção de Fine Line.
    Dado esses fatos, simples fatos ditos pelo próprio Harry, já podemos dizer que sua atitude em torno da mídia e até de si mesmo mudou durante esses anos de resguardo e produção e acabou claramente atingindo sua arte. A liberdade e expressionismo que recebemos do artista nos palcos parece agora ter um pano de fundo mais explícito e ainda mais convidativo.    … Expand

    FINE LINE is not necessarily a bad album...there are some tracks that are actually good and are worth listening over again. The issues I encountered were the lyrics on some of the songs.

    The songs are great and have deep lyrics. If you want to dance you have songs to do it. If you want to cry you have songs to do it.

    In his self-titled solo debut album, released in 2017 and full of his idols' influences, Harry Styles showed us just a little bit what he was capable of and managed to establish himself as one of the biggest artists of the past few years.

    With 'Fine Line', his sophomore album, Harry Styles shows us less of his idols' influences by bringing totally different songs from his debut album production-wise and lyrical-wise.
    'Fine Line', an album described by Harry Styles himself as being "all about having sex and being sad", is more than what he describes as it shows his struggles on his past relationships and, mainly, his stuggle with himself. For me, 'Fine Line' is Styles' most sincere work, since he's not scared anymore of showing the world who he truly is.
    In conclusion, we can say that 'Fine Line' takes Harry Styles to another level as an artist and it's incredibly perfect. Harry Styles is finally being himself and I'm here for it.    … Expand

    Fine Line by Harry Styles isn’t the modern classic it wants to be, but it offers a mostly engaging demonstration of his talent as an artist. The record excels at tapping into and sampling Styles’ obvious inspirations - The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Nick Drake, Queen, Elton John - and takes the listener on a pleasant sonic journey through 1970’s funk-rock and folksy, gray sky ballads.Fine Line by Harry Styles isn’t the modern classic it wants to be, but it offers a mostly engaging demonstration of his talent as an artist.

Think driving down country roads reflecting on life on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Emotional journey from sadness to joy with a creative modern twist on 60s and 70s era music. It’s also a grower not a shower for me, as my appreciation grows the more I listen. Lyrically there is room for more complexity, but that only leaves more to look forward to as Harry continues on his path. Overall it’s an absolutely beautiful, captivating and heart-centered album!… Expand

    It's a good pop one, but offers little more than that. Harry Styles is a decent songwriter with a decent voice, but there's nothing unique here I'm afraid.

    I was blown away by this album. Harry is an incredible person and him being completely honest with his audience and music makes this 10x better. This album is really cohesive but To Be So Lonely, She, Cherry and Fine Line are my favorites . Give it a try, you will be surprised

    This album is amazing. I’ve been listening to it on repeat ever since it came out. There is not one bad song on Fine Line. The perfect mix between sexy, sad, and bubbly.

    I think the way Harry's showing us his feelings about his relationship break was so beautiful and emotional and him have us something different, something new that remember us of alternative music and still pop and still country, that mix is really amazing

    A huge letdown since his debut. There are almost no songs worth it and Harry seems to have lost his different sound.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A beautiful album, which takes its listener on a journey of being in love with someone, losing said love and finding out who you are afterwards.

    1) The first track on the album “Golden” is a fantastic opener - it’s got your attention straight away, singing about being scared of falling in love because you’re scared of potentially getting your heart broken.

    2) Watermelon Sugar follows straight through and although slightly more “modern” in its sound it still has a vintage feel to it. Catchy af!

    3) The music video for Adore you and the whole Eroda concept was super fun! Adore you is a cute little song, sweet lyrics and absolutely a catchy bop!

    4) Lights Up was the first indication of what was to come for the sophomore album from Harry Styles and sings about being in a better place, stepping into the light and never going back (to where he was before). Love this song to pieces!

    5) Cherry was a song that had to grow on me - I wasn’t into the song at ALL when I first heard it, but rehearing it again made me fall in love. This is the first heartbreaking song of more to follow on the album. Very honest lyrics and a nice little touch with Camilles voice at the start and finish. Very VERY sweet, and utterly heartbreaking.

    6) Falling. What can I say - it sticks out from the rest of the songs very obviously (aside from TWPK) and is probably the first song in a long time which lyrically and sonically made my heart ACHE! I think a lot of people can relate to this song, not necessarily only as a breakup song, but for a lot of different things when you’re trying to find out who you are after someone special in yo life has left. That note as well - it’s my favorite song of the album but you deffo need to be in the right headspace when listening!

    7) To be so lonely - as with Cherrie, is a song which had to grow on me. It’s a heartbreaking song, when you’re trying to remain friends with an ex. Very honest and nice with a little self-dragging in terms of “I’m just an arrogant SOB who can’t admit when he’s sorry” - refreshing. 8) SHE! What a TUNE! The first of two songs over 6 minutes and ultimately the big sister of last album’s “Woman” - you can of course interpret songs differently (I’ve seen a lot of interesting interpretations already), but to me this is the song about what could’ve been - you’re not with this person but you were so enamored with them (and still is) so you’re imagining all these scenarios. And that last never-ending guitar solo, Mitch you are chefs kiss!

    9) Sunflower vol.6 is a quirky little song, finally the internal demons are starting to fade and you can look back on what was and what’s ahead. 10) Canyon Moon is probably my least favorite song on the album, but cute none-the-less and still not a skip! 11) The second song on the album which differs slightly from the rest, TWPK (treat people with kindness) is Harry’s slogan and starts with a choir singing about treating people with kindness and overall a cute, very uptempo song which surely is going to go OFF live (cannot wait to hear it in May!)

    12) Finally the title track of the album, Fine Line is a song of few words but the words sung (and repeated many times) are enough to get the message across - it’s a fine line (between what exactly? Love and hate? Genius and madness?) but all I know is that Harry will be alright and so will we. It’s starts soft, sing entirely in falsetto, and ends as the gates to heaven opens (or at least that’s how it feels like)! That’s it! This album was nothing and somehow everything I imagined it would be! I’ve had it on repeat since Friday and it will stay on repeat until someone comes along with a better put-together album (most likely that’ll be Harry outdoing himself one another 2.5 years - looking forward to where he’ll take me next!

    12/12, would recommend to everyone and their grandma !    … Expand

    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.

    Fine Line proves that the musician has absorbed the best lesson passed down by California’s great musicians: Don’t be afraid to take chances within a folk- or pop-rock framework, as that’s how you create iconoclastic music that endures.
