Harry Styles says he “learned so much” from One Direction: “When we were in the band, I used to try and write with as many different people as I could. I wanted to practice — and I wrote a lot of bad shit'

coos, the Los Angeles sunshine peeking through his pandemic-shaggy hair just so. The singer, songwriter and actor — beloved and critically acclaimed thanks to his life-affirming year-old album, “Fine Line” — is lamenting that his Variety Hitmaker of the Year cover conversation has to be conducted over Zoom rather than in person.

Why do these particular songs resonate in 2020? Styles doesn’t have the faintest idea. While he acknowledges a “nursery rhyme” feel to “Watermelon Sugar” with its earwormy loop of a chorus, that’s about as much insight as he can offer. His longtime collaborator and friend Tom Hull, also known as the producer Kid Harpoon, offers this take: “There’s a lot of amazing things about that song, but what really stands out is the lyric. It’s not trying to hide or be clever.

“I learned so much,” he says of the experience. “When we were in the band, I used to try and write with as many different people as I could. I wanted to practice — and I wrote a lot of bad shit.” Stevie Nicks, who in the past has described “Fine Line” as Styles’ “Rumours,” referencing the Fleetwood Mac 1977 classic, sees him as a kindred spirit. “Harry writes and sings his songs about real experiences that seemingly happened yesterday,” she tells. “He taps into real life. He doesn’t make up stories. He tells the truth, and that is what I do. ‘Fine Line’ has been my favorite record since it came out. It is his ‘Rumours.

Is it any wonder? Between COVID and the turmoil in the U.S. spurred by the presidential election, Styles, like some 79 million American voters, is recovering from sticker shock over the bill of goods sold to them by the concept of democracy. “In general, as people, there’s a lack of empathy,” he observes. “We found this place that’s so divisive. We just don’t listen to each other anymore. And that’s quite scary.

Exactly!!!

You wanna know why? because he's white and has such 'handsomeness'. That's why! Black artists have been doing this for a long time. Bowie and Prince did it back in the day but it seems almost nobody ever paid attention. Nothing new in the land of mainstream music industry.

Eu aos 47 anos descobrindo Harry Styles. E Amando a cada música!!!! A cada atitude como pessoa.

He looks like a zombie.

I’m grappling with inner conflict,titillating emotions at 49! ...infatuation, reliving my adolescent crushes, Bowie, Stevie, John Lennon, Mick, delicious blended artistry of Harry. But how scandalously fun to get this excited about my 17 year olds girl music crush 🙀

Bueno estas son las razones de porque este hombre es mi ídolo ☝️❤️

OBanable literalphite

LarryHispanic_ TPWK

Coz your pushing the gay agenda

Don’t think he needs to suck a banana for that.

People complaining about his words are probably the ones who are not able to listen and think about the meaning behind...

I want to see Harry everywhere.....like literally everywhere.....

Wonder why women wear men's clothing? Oh yes it was a change in the view of modern fashion. But lets not discuss that because this a one sided conversation

LarryHispanic_ So... still haven’t changed the interview right? Why is journalism SO lazy these days? Do your fucking research before talking about someone success or lack of

LarryHispanic_

Exhibitionist.

I'm not with this 'we don't listen to each other' both-sidesism nonsense. The only lack of empathy is from people given to right-wing populism who stopped having empathy for anything other than those who share their grievances against immigrants, science, expertise, etc.
