HIS FACE IS SO FLAWLESS

Posted by: Maurice! 7th August 2019, 08:53 PM

Wasn’t this the Ad for Gucci he was shooting?

Posted by: JosephAvery 8th August 2019, 08:31 PM

Isn't that already out? Those pics are from a few days ago!

He was filming again today in Edinburgh biggrin.gif

There's a TBA in Radio 1's Live Lounge month list for Monday 16th September - think it could very likely be Harry, knowing we're so close to the start of HS2!! ohmy.gif This means we'll be getting the lead within 3 and a half weeks!!

Posted by: Spiceboy 22nd August 2019, 04:28 PM

He is going to have a hard job matching Sign of the times that is such an incredible song!

Perhaps a reach but I love this theory!

(sorry I'm excited y'all xx)

Okay Harry... Liam, Louis & Niall have all been varying degrees of disappointing this year, so STEP UP and give us the quality track that I have faith you can deliver *.*

A lovely thing to launch on World Mental Health Day! Intrigued to see if music news will follow soon (or if the song will just be dropped out of nowhere?)

Posted by: Calum 10th October 2019, 07:12 PM

if this dropped tonight I'd be HERE FOR IT

I'm with you on that theory Joseph! kink.gif Really can't wait to hear this. All of the typical 'single-type' sounding songs from the debut were amazing, so hopefully this is a step up. wub.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th October 2019, 08:46 PM

The hype is building like mad right now. Harry and members of his team have uploaded the Do You Know Who You Are? poster to their stories, Harry's commented on fans' posts on Instagram, the excitement is ramping up. Could we see the song released at midnight EST???

(if not, I think we're due a song announcement at LEAST tomorrow)

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th October 2019, 09:55 PM

Apparently a Radio 1 DJ has teased a big secret new release for tomorrow... odds on it being this??? ohmy.gif

Posted by: Calum 10th October 2019, 10:07 PM

Hopefully it is *.*

Posted by: John-James 10th October 2019, 11:19 PM

The New Music Friday playlist has confirmed this as he is pictured and it says "new music from Harry Styles"

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 10th October 2019, 11:55 PM

Fantastic! I hope the surprise release works well for him

Posted by: Juan Carlos 11th October 2019, 03:15 AM

It's called "Lights Up".


Posted by: JosephStyles 11th October 2019, 06:21 AM

HIS BEST VIDEO YET

THE SONG SLAYS BIG TIME

MORE LATER

Posted by: Jack 11th October 2019, 06:28 AM

I actually really like this despite not really liking anything from him prior ohmy.gif

So much better than the rubbish the other 1D members have put out this year.

Posted by: Jonjo 11th October 2019, 06:43 AM

First listen and although liking it, I'm a tad underwhelmed? Hopefully once the initial disappointment is over I'll like it more. I wanted/expected an epic like SOTT but got somethinv that I've already forgotten.

Im sure it'll grow on me when though now I know what to expect.

But yeah, his stuff is so much more.. natural and I think that's why it works for him. The others all seem to have an identity crisis.

Have to say a bit underwhelming and nothingy on first listen... but then I wasn’t really a fan of any of his other stuff either

I agree with everything here, although I don’t think Niall has an identity crisis!

Posted by: Jonjo 11th October 2019, 09:52 AM

I guess re. Niall. But Slow Hands is so different to This Town and his new one is something completely different to both. Not necessarily a bad thing, it's just not as consistent as Harry. Maybe not a "crisis" as such, just being influenced by different eras and doing his own thing with it.

Posted by: Wall 11th October 2019, 12:34 PM

I’m surprised by the lack of Spotify support. I know It’s been added to TTH and HHUK but it’s so low. Harry on name alone and hype should at least be top 10 in both.

Spotify is really crap right now with new releases.

Posted by: Cremey 11th October 2019, 01:30 PM

Absolutely adore this, immediately my favourite of any solo 1D material

Posted by: pippa 11th October 2019, 01:53 PM

Right now i prefer the Niall track, but Lights Up is good.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 11th October 2019, 02:08 PM

It’s so boring and plus he sounds like Charli XCX!

Surely that would be a plus, given you like Charli XCX

Posted by: Bré 11th October 2019, 02:58 PM

So er... I'll stick with Niall's song x this is pretty boring on first listen and I don't like the effect on his voice in the chorus at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Posted by: LMLou 11th October 2019, 03:34 PM

Perry generic in the sound and lyrics. After the massive event that was SOTT and all the build up this new track it feels extremely underwhelming.

Posted by: Liаm 11th October 2019, 04:46 PM

This is pretty good, the 1D solo singles this week have been on point!

Posted by: Calum 11th October 2019, 05:48 PM

Really loving this. Played it on repeat in the car the whole way home from work and it gets better with each listen wub.gif

Where to start with the video though, omg *.* incredible.

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th October 2019, 07:38 PM

I woke up a little earlier than usual this morning, purely by chance, so I had time to listen to this through my headphones in bed without any distractions. As the verse started, I was a little unsure, but I really got into it by the end and it's continued to grow to absolute LOVE. As far as lead singles go, obviously it's no Sign of the Times and it was never going to come close to that, so I'm not disappointed. Played the song so much today, really hoping it can nab a respectable debut in the chart (not expecting top 10 or anything but even a top 40 puts him above all of the other recent solo singles)

The video is not just his best video, but the best by any 1D member in their solo careers. Superb!!

There's something very Frank Ocean about this tbh.

It's growing on me, but not too much atm. About 2 mins in, it starts to grate on me a lil. The video is pretty "eh. It's fine enough".

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th October 2019, 09:32 PM

I'm still not sure on this, I really hope the rest of this album has the 70s rock vibes like the debut. But this is alright, however I prefer Nice to Meet Ya

'Lights Up' has reached #1 in 44 countries on Itunes;
The music video did over 8.8 million views in the first 24 hours and has 1 million likes already;
The song has debuted with 6,776,985 total streams on Spotify.
It is his biggest debut on Spotify and YouTube.

Wow! The only one who didn't lose his power.

The song is so catchy. Can't stop listening to it.

Wow, I really quite liked his debut. His and Niall solo albums are the only One Direction related music I've ever bought but absolutely loved Slow hands and Sign of the times. Thought Niall's album was just OK but Harry's had some great tracks.

Posted by: Spiceboy 13th October 2019, 09:07 AM

I’ve developed a bit of a crush on Harry he is kinda yummy! The video is quite delicious!

The pop radio adds so far are pretty depressing, I know it's not pure pop but it's not going to stick out that much. Perhaps stations are waiting for the impact date or something but it's really slow going so far, and that's a huge shame when the US chart relies so much on airplay.

I think it wasn't sent to the radio. They are waiting for something. I was even thinking that 'Lights Up' is not the lead single because I can't explain what is going on with the radio in the U.S. The song is killing it on Spotify US. Now, of course, it is going down. Well, no promo, no radio, nothing. I really don't know what they are waiting for and if we will even hear 'Lights Up' on the radio US.

Posted by: JosephStyles 21st October 2019, 09:27 PM

That would be a truly baffling scenario, because as you said, it's done so well on Spotify. Radio has responded to it SO well over here and I'm delighted, but not sending it to US radio would be the first slip up of the era for Harry's label. Here's hoping they have a plan...

Posted by: Cara 21st October 2019, 09:34 PM

I keep thinking they have a plan. I have no idea what it is but I hope things will be good for Harry. So surprised to see streaming numbers he is doing. So good! At least we will get a director cut for 'Lights Up' soon. It already looks impressive and interesting. I love his aesthetic.

Posted by: Cara 25th October 2019, 10:58 AM

50 million streams on Spotify in 2 weeks. King.
But still not on the radio in the US.
Can't wait for SNL. It will be so great!

Interesting decision to go for a stripped back version!! It worked really well though, his voice on the "step into the light" part heart.gif heart.gif

Posted by: Medellíam 21st November 2019, 11:08 PM



This song has really been stuck in my head the past few days, particularly the "all the lights couldn't put out the dark" etc. verse. Probably my second favourite from him following 'Sign of the Times'.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 22nd November 2019, 12:06 AM

I don’t know why but this to me (official version) sounds more like a ZAYN track than Harry. But I do really like it. It was a #2 in my personal chart and was pretty instant too.

Harry and ZAYN are way up there in terms of solo 1D material but I think Harry has more edge as a performer and more of a presence / aura about him.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th October 2020, 12:40 PM

Released 1 year ago today!

For some reason I thought this came out last summer, rather than October laugh.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th October 2020, 01:53 PM

That year went so quick.
Very successful 12 months for Harry.
