Having an array of lyrics are good when they work, but this is not the case. There is so many disconnected lyrics that are unclear it sounded like he was drunk the entire time he sang this song. “lUcOzAde” is as confusing as trying to figure out what this title is. Then he repeats how much he doesn’t care…again. The lyrics that could be listened to seemed to talk about conformity, then going into how now he is doing the same thing, yet with a different way doing it, and not caring what anyone thinks. The added oddity in the background changes the entire mood of the song, and it would have been much prefered if it was just left out entirely. It was like annoyingly trying to slap a bug away from your face and missing it each time. ![]() “BeForUr” was presented with a pleasing drumlike background at first, then added to it was an annoying hornlike sounding instrumental that made it difficult to listen to the lyrics. It sounded the same throughout the entire minute and a half, but it’s to be expected since it is an intermission. “INTERMISSION flower” was sung in Urdu, it’s short, and was the perfect time to leave and get a snack because you knew you wouldn’t be missing anything big. Each had their own distinct grievances, but it’s safe to say that none of them were the best songs ever. The album’s worst songs included the “MiNd Of MiNdd” (Intro) that consisted of a drunken experience when listening, “BeForUr,” “INTERMISSION flower” and “lUcOzAde”. Nothing was able to grab the listener in order to have a real opinion of it, so these songs were on the fence. ![]() The lyrics, “you’re a freak like me” is very clear to that. Then an acronym for take it off, “TIO” was yet another sexual song. “tRuTh” was similar in this fact as well as being very repetitive. The song “dRunk” consisting of clean cut lyrics and basic notes turned into an afterthought as the rest of the album continued. “dRuNk,” “TiO” and “tRuTh” all were plain. When first looking at this album, it’s safe to say that one may think “What man is in right mind would ever name songs this way?” If one has ever seen the movie or read the book Paper Towns by John Green, they would appreciate the Margo-like way of doing things, yet because that story has has no direct correlation to this album it is found to be more annoying than delightful.Ĭertain songs in this album had no true back bone to it: neither good nor bad. This being the case, his songs are not gritty to the point of uncomfortableness, as most songs in this day and age about sex are, it has more of that easy going type of explanation and sound, where one does not have to shy away from it. The main line up of songs talked about sexual relationships. Though it will be listened by the same audience, it’s distinctly different. This album is another level of maturity from the teeny bopper music One Direction had. The simple sound change seen in “Pillow Talk” sets the overall theme of what Mind of Mine is mainly like. But it was realized early on that fans had to choose if they would continue to see Malik as a departed One Direction member or simply another upcoming single artist. Released from the album was his single “Pillow Talk.” When given finally given to the public, fans went crazy: not just because the song was good, but because of the reappearance of their beloved teen heartthrob. Malik has had lots of eyes turned toward him just because he has gone in this new solo direction, and he truly did change from the pop, happy-go-lucky sound when with the group. Zayn Malik, originally from the loved boy band One Direction has finally come out with his first solo album, titled Mind of Mine. By McKenna Topps, Co-Entertainment Editor
