    Very impressive and solid debut album ! Zayn vocals are incredible ! He's so talented, his voice is so smooth...The production of the album is incredible. Wrong with Kehlani is such a banger ! TIO too and Pillowtalk....My favorite is drunk but all the songs on this album had the potential the be a real banger. Zayn deserves so much recognition for his work ! He is so underrated !!!!!

    This album is just perfect. And its a debut album! Every song is so mysterious and interesting. TiO, Bordersz, Befour and Truth are my favorite. Like i would makes me wanna dance. It’s you is such a beautiful ballad. Zayn’s voice is so mesmerizing and soothing. Drunk is so relaxing.. makes me feel like its summer night and i am on a beach

    Best debut album ever. He really made this album in less than a year and put his whole heart and soul into it. He deserves the best.

    I’m not even a huge Zayn fan, but this was one of the first albums I have listened to in a long time where I generally enjoyed every song. Fantastic album.

    Best debut album by a ex-band member of all time. Such a shame that critics did this album so dirty. Mind of Mine is the first time we saw who Zayn was. He opened up his heart, put out an incredible skipless album. His debut single Pillowtalk showed why he had to leave One Direction, on It's You he wrote one of the most honest lyrics I have ever seen. He served vocals with Fool For You,Best debut album by a ex-band member of all time. Such a shame that critics did this album so dirty. Mind of Mine is the first time we saw who Zayn was. He opened up his heart, put out an incredible skipless album. His debut single Pillowtalk showed why he had to leave One Direction, on It's You he wrote one of the most honest lyrics I have ever seen. He served vocals with Fool For You, made the collab of the year with Wrong, made the sexiest song with TIO. Drunk was a bop, Rear View was vulnerable, Blue was heart-breaking. I also liked the fact that he used cultural elements. If I could change one thing about this album, it would definitely be the album cover. Zayn made history with his debut album!… Expand

    I admire how he could start his solo career with an amazing album as mind of mine is! Intro (should've been longer), intermission (which he brings his origins to this song) and a such incredible ending: she don't love me.

    His vocal skills help pave over the (rare) moments when the lyrics seem a bit juvenile or the sound feels a little too familiar, and help make Mind of Mine an impressive debut. It's music he couldn't have made with One Direction and while it may not be breaking any new ground, it's new for him and he's talented enough to make that interesting for anyone who likes well-made pop music.

    Mind of Mine leaps right over anything on Justified and carves a path of its own. Next decade’s boybands will doubtless provoke discussion on which of them will break out like this, which one will be a Zayn.

    Throughout this album, Mr. Malik opts for a low-octane approach, with varying success.
