At the same time the actual content of the photograph seems closer to a retro 1950s Technicolor aesthetic. When everything feels hopeless, pop music feels frivolous, but there’s joy in frivolity, and deep meaning in joy. 17 hours ago &0183 &32 Buy Harry Styles - Fine Line - Erskine Records, Columbia, Sony Music - 2xLP, Album, 180 - 19439705141, C-237475, includes Golden, Watermelon Sugar, Adore You, Lights Up, Cherry, Falling, To Be So Lonely, She, Sunflower, Vol. It is difficult for me to see the circular fisheye shot and not think of the psychedelic Are You Experienced cover. Fine Line is a solid, playful pop album, but that matters less than its status as a source of uncomplicated comfort and affirmation.
The jail cell shots in Busta Rhyme’s music video “Dangerous” (directed by hip hop fisheye popularizer Hype Williams), seem to play on this association, almost as though we are viewing Busta through a security camera.ĭoes the use of fisheye on Fine Line signify a connection to any of these associations? Fine Line sees Styles realizing there’s room in a classic-rock rubric for more than folk and blues sounds. Fine Line, can also be a phrase used to express the good moments and low points of a life or relationship thus far. These small lenses typically use a very wide angle in order to capture as much of the surrounding area as possible. Harry Styles is a student of rock and roll, and it shows. One later association that comes to mind for these fisheye shots is the voyeuristic effect of the hidden camera, GoPro, or security camera.
