The commotion over death of Liam Payne It has been double, especially unexpected. While other members of One Direction They’re crazier, they seem less balanced and mature, but Payne was the quiet guy in the boy-band.
To begin with, I could hardly touch alcohol, although not by my own decision alone. He was practically born dead from a serious kidney diseaseand although he was able to recover, that ended up causing only one kidney to function. However, in recent years he did have some dabbles with drinking, which coincided with hospital admissions and a worsening of his health.
He also had a very calm personality, and in fact he seemed older and that is why his bandmates joked that he was like his father. It is true that he always cared about them, and he was also one of those who took his relationship with the fans most seriously.
He was, on the other hand, one of the best One Direction singers at a technical level. This was already demonstrated from the group’s very first single, ‘What Makes You Beautiful’, where her voice is the first thing you hear (and her face is the first one that appears in the foreground in the video clip). That opening verse from Liam is crucial to the hook of the song. «You’re insecure, don’t know what for. You’re turning heads when you walk through the door. Don’t need make-up to cover up Being the way that you are is enough» , sang the young man from Wolverhampton, who was barely seventeen years old at the time.
“His voice was robust and deep beyond his years: ‘Being the way that you are is enou-u-ugh,’ he sang with utmost confidence, as the last syllable echoed silently toward above to prepare your group mates with higher records. The opening verse isn’t the most striking part of the song, but its subtle delivery helped reveal what would come next. It’s what made Liam indispensable; “It’s what I would do in One Direction for years,” describes Billboard in its farewell to the artist.
Before rising to fame, Payne received singing lessons and studied with various teachers, and at the age of 12 she began to perfect her vocal skills when she joined Pink Productions, a performing arts group in her hometown with which she performed in front of to the public for the first time. But he was not only a solvent vocalist. He also wrote or co-wrote some of the group’s most popular songs, such as ‘Story of My Life’, ‘Diana’, ‘Little Black Dress’, ‘Right Now’, ‘Fireproof’, ‘Clouds’, ‘Fool’s Gold’ or ‘ Not Control’.
He was one of those who took the longest to embark on a solo career, which he did in 2017 with his first single, ‘Strip that down’. «I was going to dedicate myself to composing songs, and continue doing it without thinking about anything else. But then I said to myself, ‘You’ve been trying to do this since you were 14. You would be ridiculously stupid if you rejected the option of having a contract,’” the artist commented when he decided to take the step.
He collaborated with great pop stars such as Zedd, J Balvin, Pharrell Williams, Juicy J, Quavo, Alesso, Cheat Codes, French Montana, Dixie D’Amelio, Ed Sheeran, Jonas Blue and Rita Ora; and in August 2018 he published his first EP, ‘First time’. The following year he released his first and ultimately only album, ‘LP1’, with Capitol Records, with the single ‘Stack It Up’ in collaboration with the singer A Boogie wit da Hoodie as a cover letter.
Sales were neither bad nor spectacular, but the album received mostly negative reviews. According to the Metacritic portal, which assigns a normalized score out of 100 to the reviews of the main critics, the album has an average score of 44 out of 100, and that year it was one of the years with the worst reviews on the web. One of the starkest reviews came from ABC News’s Mark Kennedy, who called the album “disgraceful” and said: “It never gets off the ground, it’s just a collection of monotonous club songs that often sound like Justin outtakes.” “Bieber.”
Since then, Payne went years without publishing anything. Until May 2023, when he revealed that he was working on his second album, over which he claimed to have more creative control than over his debut. It’s supposed to be recorded and finished, so it may one day see the light of day as a posthumous release. Only the preview single he released in March, ‘Teardrops’, has been heard from him. A sadly appropriate title to say goodbye.
