    The project positively surprised me. I thought Lou would stay in the EDM genre, but it's good that he went in a completely different direction

    The album is incredible. I love so much his voice and the songs are so perfect. “Fearless”, “habit” and “always you” are so so beautiful. Everyone need to heard he sing Fearless at least one times. I really hope everyone enjoys as much as me.

    One of the most underrated albums I have ever listened to. We made it is my favorite, I like only the brave and two of us too, and of course I’m not forgetting always you and fearless. And I can’t wait for Louis’ second album, because I know for sure it would be a mind-blowing.

    This album is so beautiful. Louis’s writing skills are very well showcased and to officially have a full album with just his voice makes me so happy. This made me smile and it made me cry and I loved it!

    it's just amazing how he puts all his heart into songs like Two of Us for his mom and Habit for his fans. He clearly conveys beautiful messages in his songs, for sure whoever identifies will know how to appreciate this beautiful album! The writing is mature and has references that only those who follow him closely understand, and it's something beautiful to see. Incredible!

    Really beautiful lyrics which hits home and matching vocals.
    The only song which I'm not a fan of is 'perfect now'
    Favourite songs are kill my mind, we made it, only the brave
    This is one of the first english albums that I've enjoyed . This actually encouraged me to explore more english pop music.

Personally, as I listen to it, I am 100% convinced that Louis turns his own memories into songs. And therefore the album has become a story only he is able to write. In a word, it's such an authentic and special album. I can't wait to see what will come next. Faith in the future!… Expand

    Louis Tomlinson chooses to open his heart in this album, with every song telling a personal story and being almost chronological from start to finish, his voice stands out from the soft ballads and to the more indie rock kind of songs like Kill My Mind.

WALLS é aquele dia favorito na semana, é aquele abraço cheio de saudade, é a vontade de viver em sua melhor forma, é a melhor fragrância de um perfume, é aquele sentimento que você guarda a tanto tempo e não ver a hora de botar para fora. É frágil e forte, é profundo e verdadeiro, é tudo e mais um pouco.

    Louis Tomlinson’s debut is a beautiful authentic record that shows a vulnerable and mature side of the man we used to know as a silly boy. The album has an indie rock vibe from the 90s & 00s with some Oasis inspiration. Louis has written an honest story about love, heartbreak, and self-care with strong lyrics & powerful soft vocals. Walls deserves all the best recognition.

    Fans waited years for Louis' album, and he delivered what he claimed to be an honest album. And you can feel his honesty, especially in songs like Two of us (a beautiful and heartbreaking, but hopeful, ode to his beloved mother, Johanna), Only the brave (the song that closes the album and talks about being bold in a world that harshly tries to confine you), Too young and Don't Let It BreakFans waited years for Louis' album, and he delivered what he claimed to be an honest album. And you can feel his honesty, especially in songs like Two of us (a beautiful and heartbreaking, but hopeful, ode to his beloved mother, Johanna), Only the brave (the song that closes the album and talks about being bold in a world that harshly tries to confine you), Too young and Don't Let It Break Your Heart.
    The whole album is pretty much cheerful and bops like Always you (a song that talks about traveling the world but finding home in one person) with an enthusiastic chorus, the kind of song that you can dance to in your room at night, or in a party surrounded by friends), Don't Let It Break Your Heart and Defenceless set the tone, almost as if Louis is saying "hey, this feeling is bothering and upsetting me, so I'm gonna talk about this and it's gonna be okay". His feelings are too real and the listeners are able to relate to the point of thinking "yeah, you know what? It will be okay".
    The song that entitles the album is a soft melody with a soft lyric leaded by a powerful vocal that has cleared developed and improved throughout the years. Owner of a remarkable voice, his voice is not afraid to reveal the world his feelings, and that's a gift for both Louis and his fans.
    Perhaps the only song, despite of liking it, that I would argue against is Perfect Now. In a world that male point of view regarding the way women are and view themselves are growing more and more obsolete, Perfect Now perhaps will sound a little bit out of date, but it's lovely anyway, especially if you know that Louis has 5 sisters and young fans who might have struggled with self image.
    And speaking once again of the fans, the single We Made It is for them, as Louis himself has claimed in interviews. However, We Made It might as well be about Louis too. Despite of all his personal struggles, all of the harsh critics he received during his 1D days about his voice and the way he is, about not standing out in the band, not getting the credit he deserved, and the difficult prospect of his solo career, he still managed to put out an outstanding album. It also speaks to fans and, more important, includes them, something rare nowadays. Louis considers his fans as being one of his biggest supporters and he knows he's not alone in this journey.
    Overall, the album is really good and honest; an album to cry, to laugh, to smile and to reminisce to. It's not a rollercoaster of emotions, instead, it's an album that does a pretty good job in following a concept and balances its emotions. Hopefully this is only the beginning for Louis Tomlinson. He deserves it. Enjoy it, Louis!    … Expand

    One of the best albums up to date. The sound that Louis Tomlinson takes on is different compare to today's generic same cord sound. Its melody that haves more then one sound sets on the album. Giving each song a different feeling and with a different story line. Dispite what people say, it's one of the best.

    Definitely a must listen! I wasn’t a fan of 1d and only knew bits about them from of my niece so I wasn’t exactly sure what i was getting into when I listened to the album , but must say im happy with the results! Its been a while since I listened to such a vulnerable, emotion filled album. Defenseless is my favorite simply because of how raw and vulnerable it is. Louis sure knows how toDefinitely a must listen!

    Louis Tomlinson’s debut album Walls is an absolute masterpiece. Not only the melodies are powerful, but also the lyrics, playing a crucial role and conveying strong messages which are extremely inspiring. Great job!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't really sure what to expect from a one direction member trying to venture into the likes of indie and Oasis inspired music but Louis Tomlinson has outsold himself. I feel incredibly lucky to have chosen to give this album a listen for I'm addicted to it now. Starting from the peppy, fast beats of kill my mind to the soul-touching only the brave and with lyrical masterpieces like fearless and don't let it break your heart, Louis Tomlinson proves himself worthy of every accolade he ever recieved. His falsetto and the bridge in defenseless are really impressive. There's a taste of 1D here and there in songs like perfect now but what else do you expect from someone who was responsible for more than half of the band's lyrical masterpieces. I wish there was a rating of 1000/10 to give because that's what this album deserves. Louis Tomlinson may not be perfect but he's definitely one of the best musicians and songwriters in the world.… Expand

    Probaby one of the best albums by a one direction member of all time. It has such an interesting sound and something truly enjoyable. I don't know what's wrong with these reviews but then again, this industry has always favored the mediocre artists over true talent.

    Louis é a Avril Lavigne de cueca, um estilo Pop/Rock único e diferente de seus antigos companheiros do On Direction. Um estilo próprio, um álbum com uma apresentação original. Capa que acompanha o estilo musical. Minha música favorita é WE MADE IT.

    This album shows Louis’ growth both as a singer and as a songwriter. His lyrics are really remarkable and his voice sounds perfect in each song. Definitely an album worth listening to.

    You can say whatever you want, but this album has helped me and so many people that i can't see it like nothing but a piece of art, Louis did his very best and this time, he didn't care about anything and that's why i loved it

    The album really has something hidden deep down, like the best composition and pleasant sounds at the median level maybe it didn't know how to work hard and until some loose songs are better than some of the album. But it brings a 90's vibe, and fits perfectly in your voice and that's spectacular. It was a good launch, but I hope a lot further forward.

    I thought his whole album would be heard like the boy band ones, but it has some different songs with really good lyrics, I liked most of them

    Its a good album, but i would like him to use the Miss You vibe with the Kill My Mind vibe but is good and way better than LP1 by Liam Payne

    Try as he may, Tomlinson has not quite progressed from featured voice to solo artist. For all the major changes in his life, his music seems to be stuck in place. You can take the boy out of the boyband, but not the boyband out of the boy.

    Solo debuts with this much expectation are incredible challenges. While “Walls” isn’t a craven ripoff or an attempt to recapture One Direction highs, it’s not yet clear exactly who Tomlinson is without them.

    Even if the songs on Walls aren't the most distinct or memorable, they come from a place of authenticity that's genuinely heartwarming and enjoyable. Like any other settled adult, he's perfectly content to stick to the reliable and Walls winds up being the most mature and natural of the ex-1D bunch.
