English With One Direction

Thursday, 14 September 2017

“Who knows? I’ve said it before: Never say never. If I wanted to come back in 10, 15 years time, then yeah, why not? I don’t know. If I didn’t want to [be in the band] then, I might not. It just depends on how I’m feeling at that time.

We were basically going at, like, 500 miles per hour. We did everything to an extreme in the band. [Now] it’s not as full on, it’s not as extreme, it’s not as in-your-face. It’s at my own pace. So this way, it feels 100 times more manageable. It’s just easier. It’s a lot less work.

It’s kind of a blur, but I’ve also had a bit of time to process it and take it in and understand it for what it was and appreciate a lot of the things and opportunities that we were given the chance to be able to do at that time. I just look back at it as a positive thing with good memories.”

‘To be honest, I never really spoke to Harry even when I was in the band. So I didn’t really expect that much of a relationship with him.’ (US Weekly)

Harry for the BBC Radio One Live Lounge

Harry Styles has just completed his first Live Lounge performance on Radio One today, and it was swoon-worthy.

His performance marked the 23-year-old’s first Live Lounge as a solo act after he previously performed some acoustic songs with his old band One Direction.

After being asked how he felt about performing for the first time on his own, Harry said he didn’t feel like he was alone due to having a band, but was wistful as he reminisced about the 2015 performance, saying: ‘It’s fun – and that [One Direction Live Lounge] was fun as well. Live Lounge is fun.’

He’s a man of few words, that Harry.

The former 1D member was making his solo debut performing live on Radio One as he provided last-minute cover for The Killers, who were originally due to perform a mix of new and old material at midday, but could not make it to the UK due to Hurricane Irma.

Harry sang his new single Two Ghosts as well as Sign of the Times and a cover of Fleetwood Mac classic The Chain.

‘I think its such an iconic song,’ he said regarding his secret cover. ‘I’m a massive fan of them as a band and the music. We tried it and we really loved it.’

DJ Clara Amfo asked Hazza if he thinks his mate Stevie Nicks will be happy with his cover of her 1977 hit.

‘We’ll find out,’ he answered in his usual enigmatic fashion.

Harry insists that despite the music being all about him now, he’s still a low maintenance pop star, listing his frankly totally boring rider as having just ‘chewing gum, water and some tea’.

Harry's gig for Nova's Red Room

Last Friday, Harry performed a secret gig for 15 people. He sang five songs.

He also gave an interview to Smallzy.

Harry about his tour:

In between tracks Harry stopped and spoke to every single person in the room. That’s not even the best part. During 'Kiwi’ he sprayed the entire group with his water bottle.

“Thank you for all the support in Australia that I’ve had over the years…and with this album. I love you very much… You’re all so wonderful, and I hope that I will see you again on tour.”…You’re so nice to me and that’s lovely. I appreciate it.“

Zayn's new song "Dusk Till Dawn"

Zayn Malik has been hailed a "king" by fans after releasing the hotly anticipated music video for his collaboration with SIA. Zayn dropped "Dusk Till Dawn" on Thursday after days of teasing on Twitter. Directed by Amazing Spider-Man's Mark Webb, the video follows Zayn as he attempts to deliver a suitcase and reunite with his lover, played by Girls actress Jemima Kirke.

“Dusk Till Dawn” is the fourth duet Malik has released as a single, following Wrong with Kehlani, Still Got Time with PARTYNEXTDOOR and I Don't Wanna Live Forever with Taylor Swift which won the Best Collaboration gong at this year’s MTV VMAs.

Malik is currently gearing up to release his second album – a follow up to 2016’s number one record, “Mind of Mine.”

Speaking about album number two he told VMAN magazine: “I feel like my songwriting definitely developed, just because I’ve been doing it so much. I feel like the songs are a bit more organized, where I felt like, before, that Mind of Mine was a brainstorm. This one is more thought out. I had more time to process everything and go through it all.”(Evening Standard)
