Midnight memories 1d album movie#
So what should we expect from One Direction, the mega-selling boy band titan that currently rules the hearts of teenage girls everywhere? Honestly, I don't know what to expect, because having listened through both of their previous albums and watched that godawful movie (which only notable for wasting Morgan Spurlock's talent as a director), I still don't have a feel for the unique personalities behind the band. Note the difference between the two bands here: one stuck within the same genre but changed the tone, the other switched genres and fell apart. They went on hiatus and since Justin Timberlake's solo career took off, they never reunited, but I place most of the blame on that final album, mostly because it was only a half-hearted step towards a genre into which the band was an awkward fit. The much bleaker story comes from N'Sync, who jumped onto the slick R&B bandwagon with Celebrity in 2011 - and then imploded. But then again, it would take the Backstreet Boys five years to create another album, and by that point they switched genres towards adult contemporary and pop rock. The latter band decided to go in a darker direction with Black & Blue, which arguably handled the transition better by opting to stick to the pop template and just play with a darker tone and energy, and, for the most part, it worked. Let's consider the 90s boy bands and for an example, we'll talk about N'Sync and The Backstreet Boys. It's often the first tentative step towards artistic freedom, and it's also the step that tends to either make or break boy bands. They might want to come across as darker, or edgier, or experiment with new instrumental directions or styles. And midnight memories are where most of the memories of this record were made… Or, just when you're young and that's when you kind of have all your experiences".There comes a time in every boy band's 'evolution' that they want to take their brand in a different direction from the typical pre-packaged pop music that made them stars. About the song, producer, Julian Bunetta said, "It's all references to in the evening. The title song, "Midnight Memories," topped the charts in countries all over the world. It's lyrics are what every girl wants to hear, such as, "You've been lonely, you don't even know me but I can feel you crying, Diana, let me be the one to lift your heart up and save your life, I don't think you even realize baby you'd be saving mine". The song, "Diana" is one track to play to soothe a lonely soul.
It strikes the right chords in tune and in the heart with these beautiful opening lines, "Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain, I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days". On a lighter note, "Story of My Life," is a beautiful number about the failings of a relationship. It's a fun, energetic song that makes you want to scream along with the boys, all in all, it's "the best song ever". The song debuted at number two on the UK charts. It starts with the lead single "Best Song Ever," which made a Vevo record for most views within twenty four hours in YouTube. Most of the songs in this album were co-written by the band members. It gained sales of four million copies worldwide just five weeks after its release. It also peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and according to IFPI's Digital Music Report 2014, Midnight Memories was the top selling album of 2013. It holds the record for being the fastest-selling album in Amazon UK's 15 year history. Midnight Memories is the third studio album by One Direction.
