Even if you didn’t know the song was set to feature an ex – Camille Rowe, who Harry broke up with after a year shortly before beginning work on Fine Line, is heard speaking in French at the end of the track, saying ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘I love you’ – it’s clear from the lyrics that it was formed by a heartbreak, and the frankness of the verses are a little too relatable.

It’s all about being not great. It’s lines like these that make the album feel a bit like a confessional, penned under the influence of edibles at the Shangri La studios and immediately committed to record, and all the more endearing because of it. Emotional beats rise and fall with all the stakes of a refill on a glass of water. Styles was invoking his own artistic process, illuminating the lengths to which he hoped to travel on his second solo album, Fine Line. Harry Styles Suspicions along these lines might have seemed founded when he released a teaser track (not an official single, the record company would like to remind us) called “Lights Up,” which was fine, but which sounded faintly… contemporary.

Lights Up Styles has kept his team pretty insular here, aside from one guest-starring production turn from Greg Kurstin, who definitely stays in the spirit of things on the dancehall-flavored “Sunflower, Vol. Is he the heartbreaker or heartbroken? Outsiders are surprisingly few, although star bassist Pino Palladino has been brought in to play the loudest, most McCartney-esque bass you’ve ever heard on the six-minute slow jam “She,” and the vocal duo Lucius makes a harmonic contribution to the delightfully loopy “Treat People With Kindness” that’s less in their usual soul style than almost Yoko-esque.

The opening track, “Golden,” is probably an ode to a girl, not a state, but as the harmonies kick in alongside the slide guitar, there’s a hint that he’s been keeping spiritual if not literal company in California with Crosby, Stills & Nash — an influence that becomes more explicit later on in “Canyon Moon,” a happy charmer with some introductory acoustic strumming that inescapably brings to mind “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.”, Which is not to say that Styles and his collaborators save all their laurels for Cali in this Malibu-recorded collection, because there are plenty of vintage English influences, too.
