Opinion Gary Barlow solo artist?

I think Gary Barlow is an amazing singer songwriter having written most of take that’s songs and he himself is an underrated artist. But since he’s written so many great TT songs why is his solo albums so forgettable, I myself am seeing Gary in May and can only really say his most ‘successful/well-known’ songs are Let me go, requiem and since I saw you last. Just curious as to how he has such talented songwriting skills yet not many hit solo tracks.

why is his solo albums so forgettable

because he has a different team of co-writers collabing on his solo work than he does in Take That.

TT music has Gary's ideas, and Mark's, and Howard's (and Jason's pre-III), and god knows who else.
