    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.

    the lyrics are a work of art, as is the album in general. It is so personal that I felt I was reading a life diary, I am in awe of the melodies and lyrics that this album contains. without a doubt it is one of the best of 2020

    These days less and less artists would like to open up and reveal their ture feelings, for male singers especially.

Instead just singing a pop song with those meaningless but easy-to-get-attention lyrics can be much simple to do. Nevertheless Lou sticks to his attitude and makes only the music he loves from the bottom of heart, which is why I think Walls is so unique. The album conveys a complex of emotions and feelings. 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

    Walls is a great example of Louis' talent outside of the group to write a catchy pop chorus, and shows great potential for the future.

    An excellent debut album. Louis has demonstrated he is capable of writing great bangers and also beautifully lyrics that tell emotionally deep and personal stories. This Brit pop album is an embrace to the heart. 100% recommended.

    it's an album that conveys a lot of emotions to me, i love the track walls and the kill my mind vibe. Two of us is so raw and true, just sensational. dlibyh gives me a strong message of wanting to live, it's one of my favorites. all the other tracks are amazing, i would love only the brave to be longer but i think that makes it even more special!

    I sincerely love this album, the lyrics of each of the songs really moved me because it always tries to convey to us the strength and courage that characterizes him, one of the reasons why Louis is my favorite artist, and his voice is magnificent.

    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.

    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.
