Ohhh sir you just opened Pandora’s box by reacting to Harry styles 😂 the mans addictive, id highly recommend just doing a full on Olympic level dives into all things H Styles, my favourite cover he’s done is one of Kanye wests “ultralight beam” and his unreleased song he performs at his concerts “medicine”

[@SoundVapors]

haha I was thinking that same thing. A lot to dive into but I'm up for it!

I hate the ultralight beam song Don't like it one bit

[@user-qp5xh9ky4t]

This guy has a chameleon's voice for sure. Check out his cover of Girl crush he sounds surprisingly country in it.

Tenés que escuchar a Harry Styles leer en vivo es extraordinario Showman de primera es un espectáculo que no te olvides en tu vida

[@kaycam249]

Btw Peter Gabriel himself acknowledged and applauded Harry’s performance of sledgehammer as well .

[@SoundVapors]

oh wow! That's pretty awesome!

[@hermionedannunzio9422]

That is Harry's band that (with some modifications) accompanied him on tour and for all live performances since 2017 and will continue to do so for Love on Tour 2020/2021. The drummer is Sarah Jones, and Harry likes to joke that this is 'Sarah's band' because she is amazing and everyone loves her. I think you would love Fine Line the album. Great production.

[@SoundVapors]

Thanks so much for this. Seriously - I owe ya one

[@andrewmadrid1]

He covered Fleetwood Macs The Chain in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge that you should check out.

[@SoundVapors]

Yeah I'm going to watch that one here really soon. Another great song to cover. I'm sure he did awesome on that one too

[@AnnaLujza82]

@@SoundVapors Make sure you choose that version, when he performed it in the BBC Radio 1 Lounge

[@dani.p]

The Chain and Sledgehammer covers are my favs!!!!!!

[@suvijii841]

I always love to see HS getting the recognition he deserves from his peers, fellow musicians. No offense for the 1D fans; but they would love him whatever he does. This guy is just SO good!

[@SoundVapors]

TY for that and I totally agree. He's so good!

[@darcyliz9993]

@Suvi Jii I am a Directioner and I support all the boys's solo careers. I am a huge fan of Harry and his music.

[@angelsunshine9620]

He's a musician not just front man or part of a boy band but a freaking MUSICIAN. He's a writer he collaborates. And he appears to be pretty damn humble.

[@dpfblackbelt]

You should review his new album, Fine Line! Or literally any other Harry Styles stuff. He’s an incredible musician.

[@SoundVapors]

Yeah I'm seriously about to go down the rabbit hole

[@kaycam249]

Loved your reaction..Harry is not your typical pop star. So underrated musically.He’s great👍 and a good guy too. Please react to him singing his first single sign of the times on Graham Norton Show.

[@SoundVapors]

Thank you! I will def put that one on the list!

[@kaycam249]

Thanks. I just discovered Harry’s music a few months back and just fell in love with his sound. So humble too ..it’s unreal.

[@whiistlingwinds]

You gotta watch him perform his song Falling with his keyboardist/pianist on the Brits! It was really beautiul

[@SoundVapors]

ahhh nice I will do that for sure!

He covered Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi and it's so goood.

[@SoundVapors]

My buddy texted me that very thing this morning. I have to hear this

[@barbaramattos2944]

FINE LINE is a great album! Harry Styles has surprised me since his debut, for his deep music and his voice too, his voice reminds me a little of Chris Cornell, I never thought I could like him, but I really do. I don't see him in the current pop scene, even if he comes from this universe, I think he is different, I really like what he brought and has done. The highlights of her new album for me are: She, Treat People With Kindness, Sunflower vol6, Fine Line, Canyon Moon, Cherry, Golden.

[@SoundVapors]

That's a great point and I totally agree. He's got such an all around great sound

[@meance68]

I’m in the same boat as you. Never listened to 1D and literally had no idea Harry Styles even had a solo career. I heard “Adore You” on the radio, started researching Fine Line and then backtracked to his first self-titled album and now I’m a huge fan. This is literally the one (and only, so far) time they’ve performed this. The whole band is crazy talented. Harry was born to be a legend. Thanks for this! I’m now a new subscriber 🤗

[@priyaboparai3115]

Yeah he is great... Underrated for sure..but a very talented.. I've never loved an artist as much as I love him..Indeed legend

[@SoundVapors]

Ahh I love it! We are like on this journey together!

[@denised6296]

One year ago today, I watched this video. Now, twelve months later, I have a true friend, a new perspective on music, and a bunch of cool chicks who can make me laugh in 3 seconds flat. Thanks Tommy. For all that and more. Can't wait to see what this year brings. You're so Golden. ❤️✌️ #TomTourage #Marztians

[@Eborden1123]

Happy Anniversary to #TomTourage and Tommy's Golden Girls!!!! This past year has been a trip for sure!!

[@922softball]

ANYTHING HARRY... because he can literally sing ANYTHING!!!! He’s incredible talented in so many ways , incredibly kind, a heart of gold 💛, watch the whole interview with Howard Stern and you will find out so much about him and gain so much respect as a artist and as human. Thanks for doing more content of him, his fans can’t ever get enough of new people finding out how awesome he truly is !

[@SoundVapors]

Yeah I wrote that down to make sure I go back and watch the whole thing!

[@owfluffyfan1317]

He has performed many covers, doesn't usually record them, except Girl Crush. Performs Fleetwook Mac'S The Chain live during his solo tour. Is very versatile,

[@SoundVapors]

I saw the Fleetwood Mac some up on suggestions - I'm def interested

[@kojw7100]

Oh boy, you really need to listen to all his covers, particularly the BBC ones. Harry can sing everything and anything. Welcome to the fan club.

[@SoundVapors]

I think I'm going to have to listen to all of them for sure

[@zoew5175]

The high "Oh!" towards the end, you mentioned it's very hard to do. Harry does this a lot in his own music. There's on section in Sweet Creature that is just 'oh's' and it's my favourite part of the song 😅

[@SoundVapors]

Very nice :)

I know this is an older video but since the new album is coming I wanted to go through some of the reactions of Fine Line and his covers. Ny Oh is the blonde lady with the great voice. She has her own music as well. She's fantastic as is the entire band. Sarah is one of the best drummers alive right now.

[@stelmaria3147]

This was delightful! I love Harry’s voice soooo much. He jokes that he’s the frontman for Sarah (the drummer)’s band.

[@SoundVapors]

Thanks so much! That is so awesome. She's so rad!

[@moonygirl76]

I loved this because you know your stuff, you articulate what you know, and you lovin on Harry on his band. You should check out his live npr tiny desk performances. Sarah the drummer and the whole band is there and the mix is amazing. Can’t go wrong with Harry live. Thanks for the content!!

[@julie1dfan498]

I loved your reaction of Harry Styles I hope you do more, this is his band and his drummer is Sarah Jones she’s brilliant, I agree with the previous comment you should watch his Kiwi performance on James Corden’s Late Late show or even his extended version of Adore you and Falling videos , thank you for this

Ask and you shall receive - Live Kiwi is coming!

Oh yes! That’s fantastic , can’t wait , Thank you

[@kasey4852]

I loved your reaction to this! Funny thing is he really can do all genres. I'd really recommend his songs Kiwi live on the late late show, Only Angel, and Medicine if you want some good rock & roll. Sign of the Times was his first single, live on the graham norton show was amazing. A few other favorites: She, Golden, Adore You, and Lights Up from his latest album Fine Line. Once you discover this man there is no going back LOL. He a natural performer and his covers of Girl Crush, The Chain, and Juice are also great!

[@SoundVapors]

Ok cool - I'm on it. The live Kiwi vid is coming..

[@SwedishTourist]

It's so weird but as a giant fan of Harry, I'm so fucking proud. Yes, like a proud mum. The tingles in the chest when others discover Harry are REAL. And Tommy reacting to the while band, I love it. At the same time I'm like.... "Does he compliment them all so much just to get the likes from us?". But then... never mind. Harry IS amazing and we all know it. We all hear it.

[@danyellebannan2022]

Tommy, I’m so grateful you decided to do this video. Not only did I meet some of the most amazing people because of it, I hear music differently because of all you taught me. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

I have been listening to this rendition of sledgehammer everyday since I've heard it.

You got my follow because your on point reaction to HS version of Sledgehammer. Peter G has one of the most iconic and remarkable voices an HS sounded amazing, not like Peter Gabriel but doing justice to the song

[@SoundVapors]

Hey thanks for that! And I totally agree

[@goodtastechad3233]

His first album is rock. Pure 70s/80s vibe with sign of the times as his lead single in 2017. He even look like a rockstar for real when he had a long hair.

Love that!

[@abbeyboyle8843]

I should have waited til the end to comment...lesson learned! Harry was filmed (amateurly) singing Nirvana at karaoke. Fronting a grunge band? Not a problem for him! Naomi Ludlow is the name of "stage right keyboardist." She's from New Zealand and beautiful!

[@SoundVapors]

Yes Robert Palmer!

[@TheNeutralViewFromSwedenAKAHer]

He is on the money when he says that it is the best produced and mixed song ever. I have heard it from the master tape in the studio and I kid you not, the dust on the top lamps, etc jumps. It is pure perfection.

He's done some great live performances since 2017 tbh - falling at the Brits, any performance of sign of the times (especially graham norton), kiwi on late late and my fav version on the today show (think that one got removed), adore you on late late is great just for the charisma value, then a bunch of cover like Juice, The Chain etc. I wouldn't bother with 1d though, you're missing nothing musically and his voice was wrecked a lot of the time from constant touring.

I'm excited to dig into all of his content!

[@AnnaLujza82]

@@SoundVapors While he is showcasing a lot more versatility in his solo career , it's absolutely not true that is not worths to check out his performances during the 1D years! As other commenters pointed out, the last 3 albums (out of 5) are worth to listen to. And he is a born rock star, what he did on stage even when he was only 18-19 years old, is amazing. If someone likes Harry's solo stuff (100 % sure you're going to like it), will want more from his music. So eventually will listen to 1D songs as well.

[@ems7434]

@AitchBee sorry i disagree. Their music was at heart too corporate for me - even the 'grown up' songs were clearly written to be appealing to their audience. While i can enjoy them as pop on occasion, i see little merit in 1D beyond that.

[@ems7434]

@@AnnaLujza82 there's maybe a handful of 1d songs still worth a listen. I doubt many harry fans will go back to listen retrospectively as most want to hear him sing the full song not a couple of lines of someone else's song.
