Recension på "Up All Night"

2012-03-07



1. “What Makes You Beautiful” – Easy to hear why this single has stuck. Like ‘N Sync’s most durable hits, with a cheeky electro-pop twist.

2. “Gotta Be You” – Lush strings welcome lines like “I’m the foolish you anointed with your heart/I tore it apart.” Inventive elements at play here, like the unexpected falsetto in the chorus that leads to full-blown group crooning.

3. “One Thing” – Perfectly executed pop-rock, with generic lyrics justified by the spirited delivery of the 1D boys. This one could own radio for months.

4. “More Than This” – One Direction’s own “All I Have To Give,” replete with the standout line, “When he lays you down, I might just die inside.” Bouncing synthesizers add some gravitas to the chorus.

5. “Up All Night” – Title track acts as stomping party anthem; “Katy Perry’s on replay,” for goodness sake! Vocal refrain should be intoxicating, but feels a bit too safe.

6. “I Wish” – Another mid-tempo ode to jealousy in the face of “the other man.” Reminiscent in lyrical tone to Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” but even more forlorn.

7. “Tell Me A Lie” – Guitar strums bump up against pulsating synths as One Direction declares that ignorance is bliss (when it comes to failing romances, anyway).

8. “Taken” – The flip side of “Tell Me A Lie”: now the narrator is fending off a bewitching girl trying to break up his current relationship. You can envision the triple-finger-snap as the boys sing, “Who do you think you are?”

9 . “I Want” – Much-needed change-up, with a jaunty piano line during the verses and a (relatively) sinister, “Tainted Love” vibe on the chorus. It even has a cool breakdown!

10. “Everything About You” – More soaring romance, but the bubblegum verses offer more personality than the standard harmonic hook.

11. “Same Mistakes” – The production strengthens this sweeping ballad, with a gorgeous array of piano, synthesizer and percussion outshining the solid vocal performances.

12. “Save You Tonight” – Drake isn’t the only popular music figure who wants to “save” women from their humdrum existences! Enjoyably retro in sound and arrangement.

13. “Stole My Heart” – A synth hook that resembles Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” crossed with Cobra Starship’s “You Make Me Feel…,” and one more anthem dedicated to The Perfect Girl. Fist-pumping optional but encouraged.
