When One Direction went on hiatus at the end of 2015, there was a generating interest of where each voice would journey solo. With Tomlinson being the last of the group to drop a full-body of work, it was compelling to hear how the edged-out tenor would shape his sound. Fortunately, his debut record Walls utilized his best assets as an artist— allowing him to highlight his rasp, emotive vocals, and storytelling lyrical prowess. The entire album dips into the nostalgia of 90’s britpop, and the more you revisit the record, the more promise the debut holds. Tracks like “Walls,” “Habit,” “Kill My Mind,” and “Only the Brave” provide a solid starting point for where his sound and artistry could culminate into. – Hope Ankney
