Yes. Each lyric line above is from each of the ten songs on Harry Styles' debut solo album titled Harry Styles. Some may say this is the album of the year and many may also disagree with this statement. Although, with Harry's album being out for a total of sixteen days now, social media has been blowing up with the success of his album. He quickly went to number one in many countries and fans who were not up to par with the well known boy-band Styles was formerly in, One Direction, quickly became a fan of him.

His sound differs from each song which makes his album extremely unique. It is not all one solid sound and this allows the different genres to mingle into one whole album. Each song is written by Styles and has its own deep and/or exciting meaning to it.

Here is a simple taste from each song on this phenomenal album. You'll just have to listen to it to receive the full effect of amazement.

1. "Meet Me in the Hallway"

A soothing acoustic sound while the voice of Styles echoes throughout the entirety of the song.

2. "Sign of the Times"

A David Bowie vibe is within this song. Isn't that enough to get you hooked?

3. "Carolina"

Let's just say if you love a good beat and electric guitar then this one is for you. Or perhaps if you like learning about the love life of someone else.

4. "Two Ghosts"

Everyone loves a good sad song with the acoustic guitar acting as the main lead in sound. You won't have a dry eye after listening to this beautiful song about two people losing their way with one another.

5. "Sweet Creature"

Another acoustic sound, but the lyrics are a bit more positive than the last tune. Styles sings about being stubborn with the one he argues with, but he seems to always find his way back home.

6. "Only Angel"

Don't let this song fool you. In the beginning it sounds like a sweet journey up to the pearly gates of Heaven, but it soon takes a different turn. Need I say more?

7. "Kiwi"

Although this song may not be exactly about kiwis, it sure does have a hypnotizing sound that makes you want to rock out and bang your head twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Just give it a go and I promise you will not be disappointed.


8. "Ever Since New York"

This song is a bit repetitive with the chorus, but all in all holds a nice sound to it with the smooth and soft sound of Styles voice singing us through telling him something he doesn't already know.

9. "Woman"

Styles has always been the one who is all for women and their rights. Some may think that this is what the song could be about, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves. If you're looking for the more sexy side of Styles, then this is it. It almost reminds me of a cheesy opening to a bad film with the beginning of the song, but it will soon grow on you with a bluesy feel.

10. "From the Dining Table"

My personal favorite from the album includes this mellowed out song about missing your ex whom you seem to see everywhere you go. Styles sadly sings about his phone missing her call and waking up to someone he thinks is his ex lover, but in reality is just someone he's filling the void with. This song will definitely pull at your heart strings.

There you have it. A sneak peak at Styles' debut solo album. If you were a fan before this article then hopefully you can agree with me on some level. If you found yourself reading this simply because you hear the talk of Harry Styles everywhere you go and were just a bit curious, I hope you find yourself testing the waters of his music. He is incredibly talented at knowing how to hook you into his life of artistry.

"That's the amazing thing about music. There's a song for every emotion. Can you imagine a world with no music? It would suck." - Harry Styles

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
