It's finally here in 2017: the first solo album by Harry Styles, which the singer named after himself. After Zayn Malik, Styles is now the second One-Direction-member, who is now on his way on solo trails.

The fact that he will probably be as successful with it as with his boygroup speaks for the single release "Sign Of The Times", which already appeared in April 2017. She made it to number one in the UK charts and shows the development and musical adulthood of the 23-year-old artist.

Harry Styles recorded his new album last year in California and Jamaica. The producers were Jeff Bhasker, Alex Salibian, Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon.

In addition to the standard CD and an LP version, "Harry Styles" is also available as a limited edition. It contains the album on CD and a 32-page hardcover book with photos.

Harry Styles proves impressively that he can also do it alone. "Harry Styles" is the eagerly awaited solo debut of the pop star.
