Zayn - Room Under the Stairs

[theincredibleflipper]

I kind of like the album? It’s a smooth listen, nice melodies, overall a pleasant experience. It’s not really exciting, but a pretty solid, nice listen. I will use it.

Uhm... Is this all spam?

HAHAHA I'm not a bot. People can like, think and share the same things and sentiments about music, you know? Go out and touch some grass :)

Remember when Rita fans were called Ritabots? We have Zaynbots now.

Not BOTS in the Zayn thread...the demand is real.

 

[BreatheBox]

Also some of the lyrics on this album....choices...but Great melodies, beautiful melodies.

Z sides. Kind of doesn't work when you say Z as zed.

Gave this album a listen today and it's... alright. It's giving Maverick Sabre, who I really like. But it does feel long somehow. It felt like a bit of work going through the whole thing.

The meet & greet in NYC has begun. Very different vibe from the UK one.

I must admit I was surprised at how genuinely open and friendly he was and the first to reach out for a hug or put his arm around you.

I wonder though if doing this thousands of times in one day might have taken it out of him. I consider myself a pretty extrovert person with a larger social battery than most. But the prospect of going through all of that again 48 hours later, after a transatlantic flight…

This was also a bit much and I feel like his team should have probably stopped stuff like this from happening:

I can see why this poor man doesn't like doing these promotional events.

looks like they had to change the format because the UK signing crossed boundaries. he handled it well for eight+ hours of meet & greets but i don't fault them for keeping it more formal now.

 

[minorkey]

I kinda feel bad for him because it's obvious he wants to be taken more seriously as an artiste, but Harry seems to be the only one who managed to cross over beyond the old 1D fanbase and get some street cred. It looks like he's still stuck with the old 1D die-hards who couldn't care less about the music.

 

[j267]

Yeah, he was genuinely beaming when I said I loved Mind of Mine and he was one of my favourite ever vocalists. He must have said thank you about 4 times and gave me a big squeeze.

He’s lovely and deserves better fans.

 

[MC54]

These are giving those Avril Lavigne meet & greet photos vibes. Kind of hilarious.

Well no surprise if some fans have no respect or decency!

 

[j267]

Yeah, it’s a shame that people like this have to spoil nice things for everyone else, by deciding that their need is greater than someones right to personal space.

Not even just that. It’s literally non-consensual touching.

 

[HairBodyFace]

To echo the bots/not bots, there was a point during some of the songs where I was racking my brain trying to think who he sounded like and landed on Paolo Nutini. Then I was thinking it was years since Paolo released new music, only to discover he released an album in 2022. But I digress.

And it's so so good



I can hear the genre comparisons, I'm just not liking how Zayn sounds on these songs.

 

[MC54]

Not the b(z) sides being better than 80% of the album.
