As you may know, Harry Styles released his debut solo single 'Sign of the Times' today.
The boyband heartthrob seems to have moved away from teenybopper pop for a more mature sound, and it seems to have caught a few people off-guard.
See the Twitter reaction (which ranged from 'composed' to 'hysterical') to the song below:
@BBCR1 @Harry_Styles @BBC good job man...love it. It has apocalyptic Let It Be vibes. Awesome recording. Great song! Vocal is siiick.
