2.In January,2016,Harry Styles made a bold decision.He left the popular boy band One Direction and went solo (单飞).Now he is making his own voice heard.The 23-year-old British singer released his first solo single called Sign of the Times.His self-titled album (个人同名专辑) is coming out on May 12.
Going solo is a journey for him to find his identity (身份).Though at the time,he was uncertain about his future,he kept a word in his mind-"honesty"."I didn't want to write‘stories',"he told Rolling Stone."I wanted to write my stories,things that happened to me.The number-one thing was I wanted to be honest.I hadn't done that before."
He is indeed full of stories since beginning his solo career.Last fall,he spent two months recording on a remote island in Jamaica (牙买加).Along with some musicians,he filled a two-floor house with instruments.They hung out at the bar that looked like a tree house.Many mornings began with a swim in the river down the hill.They watched many romantic comedies.Styles always held a black notebook and looked like a college student who was studying,Rolling Stone reported.
His coming album is about rock music.In fact,he grew up with it.His father Desmond was a rock music fan.When Styles was very young,he danced to The Dark Side of the Moon,a classic song by British rock band Pink Floyd."I couldn't really get it.But I just remember (thinking that) this is really cool."
Harry said,"At the very beginning,all I wanted was to be the granddad with the best stories."Surely,now he is on the right track (轨道).
