Page 2 | Harry Styles and Phoebe Waller-Bridge in his music video. I love it!

Having said that hes a billion times better and more entertaining than the anonymous boring name bed wetter men with guitar/piano types with weird vowels we were subjected to the last few years.

would people be buying it if it was somebody else?

I would. I listened to his first album with very low expectations. To be honest, I would rather be listening to someone that wasn't a former member of one direction, I didn't really enjoy their music!

@ThePricklySheep even so he doesn’t do it for me I am afraid but I think my 16 year old self might have been interested!

I suppose I could say theres a lot of music people would like but they just dont hear because they wernt in a huge boy band

ShetlandWife · 05/01/2021 15:29

You sound bitter, user. Are you struggling to gain traction in the music industry?

Fwiw, I listen to a lot of unsigned artists too. There has always been and will always be a huge number of musicians that are incredibly talented that won't make the charts. The good news is, finding it nowadays is easier than it has ever been, with YouTube and Spotify and podcasts and Internet radio stations etc!

user1471565182 · 05/01/2021 15:33

No but actually ive been in a lot of bands where there are people who think 'this is going to be huge' but for me and the others its obviously a hobby thats not going further than the pubs. Thats as far as I ever wanted to go. Its just a comment on how you have to change your music for the audience, you cant just plough on doing your own thing and expect success automatically.

Loved that! I adore PWB.

Adore Harry Styles and just love this song and the video. He's quirky but knows how to do a good pop song!

kennypppppppp · 05/01/2021 17:09

i thought/think it's complete balls. i can't believe pwb is dancing not very well and the song is bossy and shite and harry doesn't need pwb's fan base and i have tsk'd and sighed at the video which i think is utter rubbish.

i would be first in the queue to see a one direction concert but harry and pwb together is ridiculous but someone thought it was a good idea. am surprised olivia bloody coleman didn't pop up in it. she seems to be in everything.

PWB is in one of the episodes of the latest series of Staged that’s just dropped on Iplayer.

I love him, won't hear a bad word about him.

greyfatandold · 05/01/2021 17:42

I absolutely LOVE it! thanks for sharing, HS is so talented & PWB is perfect for this although I really hope it was his idea!

Brits at their best.

@user1471565182

I think he actually has talent and a good (and most importantly) interesting voice but its a bit like a mate who forms a band playing classic rock style and thinks its going to be big. People just dont buy that stuff anymore. I think the sort of Glam Bowie/Queen thing is just outdated and hes probably cruising on fans good will at the moment.

Id like to see him do well because I think hes one of the decent ones but would people be buying it if it was somebody else?

AcornAutumn · 05/01/2021 17:47

I liked the video he did with the fish.

TheMarzipanDildo · 05/01/2021 17:54

I quite like the song

Hoppinggreen · 05/01/2021 17:57

I like it and she looks like she’s having a great time
I was due to see Harry Styles last summer And am waiting (with baited breath) to see if he rescheduled for this year

greyfatandold · 05/01/2021 18:05

I'd like User to point me to a single Bowie or Queen record that sounds anything like that whatsoever btw, some lazy journalist made that glam rock reference early on in his solo career & it's just not, inspired by Bowie sartorially & a little earlier on but this? No

IHaveBrilloHair · 05/01/2021 18:10

I have tickets to see him too.
I've been singing that song since 2019, I got the album the day it was released

itssquidstella · 05/01/2021 18:23

Oh this is brilliant!

user1471565182 · 05/01/2021 18:39

Here you go. Obvious where the textured harmonies have come from
