We need to talk about Liam Payne, aka one of the most underrated vocalists in the industry today. With a range surpassing pretty much almost every young male vocalist today (debated between 3 octaves 3 notes and a semitone to 3 octaves 5 notes) and being a baritone in an industry where tenors are heavily favored. He’s been singing parts written for a band of tenors and his unique tone he had pre-One Direction has largely been covered up by this, yet he has still managed to establish himself as one of the best singers in the industry while constantly singing outside of his comfort zone. He has a beautiful, powerful falsetto and an extreme amount of vocal stamina with a beautiful lower register, and, despite being a baritone, an upper register that can compete with the majority of tenors today.
He’s a fantastic songwriter, see the song he wrote for Hometown, in addition to some of One Direction’s songs “What a Feeling,” “Better Than Words,” and “Right Now” to name a few. In addition, he has also written some progressive lyrics like “I Won’t Break,” (not by One Direction) “Home,” “End of the Day,” the latter two which were also co-written by Louis. He also has expansive knowledge about how music works, look at his ability to produce and his musicality in love concerts, where he even has the ability to add perfect ad libs to songs while running around or engaging the audience. One of my personal favorite aspects is how Liam simply does not care about genre, but rather just loves music. He has cited enjoying pop music, R&B, rap, hip-hop, rock, indie, and more, and in addition to that, his voice has a unique versatility that would fit any of these genres if he decided to venture into them.
