Liam Payne Signs Solo Deal With Capitol Records

Kendall Criswell

Is Liam Payne becoming the next Justin Timberlake? In a way, he is, but I would not say that he is absolutely "going solo."

As of July 21, Payne signed a solo record deal with Capitol Records in the United Kingdom. Payne posted a photo to Instagram saying this:

"Very happy to have signed to my new record label Capitol Records. They have such an amazing history of artists, I hope I can follow in their footsteps. One direction will always be my home and family but I'm very excited to see what this chapter brings."

There is no doubt that Payne will be successful, and the other members of One Direction seem to be very okay with him pursuing this project.

However, if you are a bit worried that his solo project will make One Direction's hiatus a permanent one (like me), just relax.

After Payne's older sister, Ruth, congratulated her younger brother on Twitter and expressed that she is excited to listen to his new music in her car, she assured fans that he is still very much part of One Direction.

If that does not alleviate some of worry, just remember that the members of One Direction have made multiple promises that they would return, and I do not think that four boys who have gained such immense success and have built a strong brotherhood together would abandon each other.

Also, when the album "Made In the A.M." was released, the song "History" emphasized that promise with Tomlinson repeating the phrase, "This is not the end." Just take a listen to the song, sing along with the boys and remind yourself what they promised.

No matter your view on the situation, this is a big moment for Liam. This is his time to prove to the world that he has talent.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
