āTomlinson has proven to be easily the most versatile of the group ā hear me out. Zayn Malik is often touted as āthe most talentedā and thatās fair, with his clear high notes and effortlessly sexy croon often interjecting just at the height of the songs to remind you of One Directionās golden egg, but Tomlinson is what defines the songs on FOUR. If you want rock ānā roll, lean on Louis for echoing harmonies thatāll have you screaming at the top of your lungs too. If you want sweet, itās Louis using his ability to create a soft dynamic to carry the song from one build to another, such is the way in āClouds.ā And if you want it to go back to being a little bit rock, a little bit pop, itās back to Louis, whose voice is a little higher than the rest of the boys and can hit that almost hiccup effect, with the gentle whine in the back of his throat proving he can make simple, but effective, changes that have the ability to define the entire feel of the song. Louisā voice is different ā not the gruff and low baritones his bandmates share, but a tenor that takes a moment of getting used to before realizing, āhey, this is good. That guy makes this song. Wait, holy shit, what would this song even be without him?ā Heās relaxed and cooler than you on āStockholm Syndrome,ā an absolute smash that in my uneducated opinion would be a game-changing single. Most importantly, though, he absolutely murders āNo Controlā ā while the other boys sound incredible, thereās something about Louisā vocal abilities on this one that lets him go absolutely crazy with the chorus and backgrounds, with so much force behind his voice you literally think heās going to come out of your earphones and sing it with just as much passion right in front of you to make you forget every snub heās ever received on any track. āNo Controlā is Louisā personal revenge, a hit back to anyone that ever said he didnāt belong.ā
