Review: Liam Payne stumbles badly with embarrassing debut CD
Liam Payne, โLP1" (Capitol)One Direction fans have reason to rejoice this holiday season: They get not just one, but two full albums from former members โ Liam Payne and Harry Styles. Payne's 17-track โLP1" never really gets off the ground, a collection of monotonous club songs that often sound like warmed-over Justin Beiber rejects. Thereโs a good reason for the first tune being good โ itโs co-written by Ed Sheeran and Payne doesnโt try to disguise its origins, mimicking Sheeran vocal tics and flow. For a first album, Payne surprisingly doesn't show up: He had a hand co-writing only four songs and fails to do anything interesting with his voice. While Styles is off making fascinating, intriguing music, Payne is clearly phoning in his debut from the club.
