Up All Night (Music CD) by One Direction

Up All Night
by One Direction
Columbia, 2012

GENRE: Pop, Pop Rock

HONORS: U.S. Platinum Record

REVIEW: One Direction came into the spotlight by placing third on the British reality show and music competition The X Factor. The group was then signed to Simon Cowell’s personal record label, and the newest generation of boy band was formed. Up All Night was released in the US in March 2012 and has been a teen and tween sensation with hit songs like “What Makes You Beautiful” and “One Thing.”

OPINION: I could not stand the song “What Makes You Beautiful” the first time I heard it, but after seeing how popular this new boy band was among the teens and tweens I meet, I decided to take a further look at this group. I still find them a little silly, but appreciate their appeal and knowing the extent of their popularity.

IDEAS: One Direction songs would make another fun addition to the “Lip Synching” program idea mentioned with the Selena Gomez album.
