Any questions you might have had about what musical route Harry Styles was gonna take after One Direction has been answered this morning: the big fella himself has dropped a nearly six-minute long stadium crooner that very deliberately pays its due to Robbie Williams and David Bowie.
It’s not nearly as good as Bowie – I will make that very clear – but it’s obvious that 70s British sound is seeped into the songwriting and production. It’s called Sign of the Times and I would say in my infinite wisdom after two listens that it is pretty decent.
Have a listen:
As you might imagine, Directioners on Twitter are approaching this like it’s the second coming of Christ and the greatest piece of music ever written which might change the course of human history.
Harry Styles could spit in my eye and blind me and I’d thank him
