Harry Styles has unveiled his debut solo single ‘Sign Of The Times’.

The track, a guitar-driven ballad, received its first play on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show this morning (April 7). “It’s the song I’m most proud of writing, I think,” Styles told Nick Grimshaw shortly after it premiered.

Styles also revealed that he recorded his upcoming album in Jamaica to keep himself away from distractions.

Styles has also revealed that he has played songs from his upcoming solo album for Ed Sheeran.

Styles has signed to Columbia Records for his solo material. Discussing Styles’ solo music last month, the label’s CEO Rob Stringer said: “We’re close and we’re very excited. We have a record we’re incredibly excited about and it’s not far away from being ready. We obviously want everything to be beautifully done, because we think he’s here to stay. Harry has stepped up with the vision of someone who’s authentic.”

Reports have also suggested that Styles’ upcoming solo album sounds like David Bowie and Queen.

Industry website HITS Daily Double reported that Styles’ album has been recorded with one producer, Jeff Bhasker, who has previously worked with artists including Kanye West, Bruno Mars and the Rolling Stones.
