Harry Styles (with Warpaint)<\/h3>\n

\nIt looks like boyband graduate Harry Styles is taking on a new direction \u2013 that is, going solo. Following the hiatus of One Direction, Styles has been working on new material, released a pop-friendly single called \u2018Sign Of The Times\u2019, and also announced his world tour. And we\u2019re in luck, because the British heartthrob will be making a comeback in May, following his November gig. This time with LA-based atmospheric art-rock quartet Warpaint. Well now, ain\u2019t that different.
