Nobody Is Listening 2021 Album

Zayn

I've really enjoyed Zayn's first two solo albums. His debut was the biggest surprise I've had. I expected nothing going into it and ended up loving most tracks and rating it 4.5/5. The 27 track 'Icarus Falls' isn't as consistent but has a number of great songs that earnt it 4/5. On the first listen of this album, 'Tightrope' was the only song to really catch my attention. As I often do, on the second I found more. I enjoyed 'Outside', and without the rap, 'Windowsill' would be competing for the best track. The bookends are boring, 'Unfuckwitable' and 'Connexion' aren't great, but aside from those, I enjoy the rest and feel like he is judged harshly by the average music listener. He isn't reinventing the wheel but there is a different sound present compared to his previous two efforts. The high moments aren't as great as what he's given us previously but I like most of this. 3-3.5/5 Best Tracks: Outside, Vibez, Windowsill, Tightrope
