Like every girl in 2012, I was beyond obsessed with One Direction. They were the hottest boyband on the planet, and girls from all ages were in love with them. Like most fans, Harry Styles was my favorite member because of his voice and his looks. When One Direction announced their hiatus, I was already over my 1D phase, but it was bittersweet. I was beyond excited to hear their solo work, and I knew I would love Niall's and Harry's since it's the type of music I typically listen to. When "Sign of the Times" was released, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. The lyrics, production, instrumentals, and the build up were beautiful and it's such a simple song, but it's so good.

Since I was very pleased with "Sign of the Times", I knew I would love the rest of the album, but I wasn't sure which song he would release next. When Harry performed on SNL, everyone was convinced he would perform "Kiwi", but he shocked us all and brought us the most beautiful song on Earth, "Ever Since New York". It's a folk/blues influenced song that involves him playing guitar and it's everything I never knew I needed until I saw it live.

Harry Styles' solo career so far has been a blessing to us all. He dropped his first single and announced the date of his solo album that would drop only a month later. He's blessed us with announcing a week of co-hosting the "Late Late Show" with James Corden and a world tour announcement before his album even comes out.

2017 has already been a great year for music so far, but Harry Styles just put the cherry on top with his album and world tour. The other members of One Direction are putting out solo work as well, but Harry is just promoting like no other and it's such a blessing to the music industry and the world. Thank you to the music industry gods for blessing us with this music.
