Harry Styles often finds himself mired in comparisons to Mick Jagger considering his onstage ostentation and often androgynous fashion choices, but the Rolling Stones legend said Sunday times that the patterns have only “superficial resemblance to my younger self”. Not that Jagger holds anything against Styles, the pop star he loves and has an “easy relationship” with. Styles just released his third studio album, “Harry’s House,” on May 20.
“I love Harry – we have an easy relationship,” Jagger said. “I mean, I’ve been wearing more eye makeup than him. Come on, I was more androgynous. He doesn’t have a voice like mine and doesn’t move around on stage like me; he just has a superficial resemblance to my younger self, which is a good thing—he can’t help that.”
Styles’ album “Harry’s House” got strong reviews from miscellaneous Jim Black, whose writing was “largely a continuation and evolution of its predecessor.” That would be 2019’s “Fine Line,” which was critically acclaimed and won a Styles a Grammy for the song “Watermelon Singer.” Styles’ “Fine Line” era found the actor flirting with Jagger’s comparisons to his stage dance and colorful touring costumes.
“‘Harry’s House’ is a bit more intimate and less ballpark than its predecessor,” Asward wrote in his review. “Lyrically speaking, it’s more serious and more dangerous in some places — not surprising after all that has happened in the two and a half years since the fall of Fine Line just before the pandemic… after a racy start with trumpet-filled music at a sushi restaurant” and “Late Night Talking” has an ’80s flavor, the album turns into a loose, unhurried groove, mixing mood and tempos but never feeling relaxed: Only when you lean back does it sing like the effortlessly playful introduction to the single, “As It Were” (which already topped the charts at many of countries) erupts like the sun after a summer rain. “
