    Simplesmene lendário, o príncipe do pop rock, superou demais o HS1, "She" é uma faixa que eu me apaixonei mais que "Lights UP" pelo simples fato de lembrar "meet me in the hallway". E quem não gostou que lute.

    Harry crafted and album that is vastly different yet somewhat reminiscent of his debut project. The production is marvellous whether it’s be background vocals, unusual Instruments or the planning of sound from left to right. The concept of various stages of heartbreak is executed well and takes the listener on an emotional roller-coaster.

    The album is a masterpiece, please go listen to it. He grew a lot since his last album came out and this growth certainly reflected on his new music. My top 5 tracks are, in order, “she”, “canyon moon”, “fine line”, “sunflower vol. 6” and “to be so lonely”.

    A great follow up to his debut, I only now started to care about him after the release of "Lights Up" and I'm glad I've got the chance to listen to this project.
    It's very catchy and the production has that special touch of using mainly live instrumentation with the added vocal effects that add some flavor to the tracks.

    With some simple yet powerful lyrics , showcasing his previews relationship, its a very interesting story that doesn't let down any listener willing to listen
    Some tracks are not from everyone but it's impossible not to at least respec his bold approach , artistic, and almost theatrical form of production.
    Very good listen and can't wait to see him live.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is phenomenal, brilliant and so beautiful to listen to. The feelings that you get while listening to each and every song are amazing. It is like floating through a rainy countryside while a breeze is kissing your face and body. I have no words for the instrumental parts, they are so good and special. Harry really did a great job here, being so open and vulnerable but also giving us a good vibe with some songs. This is a masterpiece.… Expand

    No skips for me. Great sophomore album, fantastic production, Styles emotive lyrics make the album shine. Adore You, Lights Up, She and Falling are among my favorites.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is a masterpiece. It starts showing excitement with songs like golden, watermelon sugar and adore you. Then it shows a breakup and the sadness that that implies with songs like cherry, falling or to be so lonely. Then you are taken to a happy zone with sunflower, canyon moon and TPWK. Finally, you end up listening to fine line that, even though it may make you fell sad at the beginning, you end knowing that everything is going to be alright.
    To sum up, listen to this album if you want to connect with your emotions through Harry’s.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Álbum muito bem estruturado, coeso e sincero, Styles nos passa de forma muito genuína seus sentimentos, fazendo com que fiquemos emocionados por diversas vezes, podemos notar referências à grandes nomes da música, como The Beatles por exemplo, porém nunca perdendo sua originalidade.
    Fine line começa com a faixa Golden, na qual Harry quase aparece implorar para não ser deixado sozinho, e o mesmo é finalizado com Fine Line, onde em certo momento Styles parece tentar se converter que tudo ficará bem, e assim nos levando a acreditar que tudo ficará realmente bem.
    Durante todo o álbum podemos sentir a honestidade e vulnerabilidade na voz de Harry, o que torna a experiência única em uma explosão de sentimentos.    … Expand

    This album is so good! It has a lot of different sounds, a lot of amazing lyrical and sonic moments, and it speaks to so many different emotions. It's truly an experience! I'd recommend listening from start to finish because it has such a good flow from song to song

    "Fine Line" is about self-acceptance and self-reflection due to heartbreak and self-discover. It's definitely one of the best albums of 2019.

    No evolution from his first album, the lyrics are ordinary and have nothing special. The songs mostly carry a boring trate and it’s more of the same. A drop down from the debut.

    This album is a masterpiece, stocked with original songs that feature superb vocals from Styles. Very different from the dire LP1 from Liam Payne. Liam did not even write his own songs and the album got 2* reviews from eight critics.

    O álbum soa diferente de tudo o que Harry já fez. Me cativou de Golden a Fine Line, assim como o HS1.
    É difícil escolher uma favorita em meio a tantas músicas ricas em produção, vocais e letras que saem rapidamente da superfície para as partes mais profundas dos sentimentos de Harry. Esse é o tipo de álbum que rapidamente vira um clássico.

    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.
