FOUR (Deluxe) by One Direction - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

En quatre ans pour autant d'albums à succès, One Direction s'est imposé comme le boys band de son époque et le digne successeur de Take That. Car il ne faut pas s'y tromper, le quintette anglo-irlandais n'est pas là par hasard et doit sa place à une production musicale qui, pour adolescente qu'elle soit, n'en est pas moins d'une grande qualité.

Ce quatrième album en quatre ans a été majoritairement écrit par les membres d'un groupe dont Liam Payne et Harry Styles émergent de plus en plus comme en étant les figures de proue. Le bien-nommé Four contient dans sa version standard douze chansons d'une valeur artistique assez égale.

Personne ne sera surpris d'apprendre que l'efficace « Steal My Girl » est le premier tube extrait de l'album, le dynamisme naturel de la chanson se passant de commentaires. Plus nuancé, « Ready to Run » pourrait suivre le même chemin, un album de 1D étant par nature un réservoir à hits. En revanche, une certaine lassitude vient de chansons comme « Spaces », semblant interchangeables et mille fois entendues.

Bien que sa vocation ne soit pas de prendre des risques, One Direction pourrait sans mal être un peu plus fin musicalement qu'avec Four, qui constitue un retour à la case départ après Midnight Memories, dans lequel One Direction avait montré quelques signes d'une évolution un peu moins bubblegum.
