The Styles of Harry

When you hear the name ‘Harry Styles’, you immediately think of One Direction, one of the most popular boy-bands in the world. People often underestimate his music, assuming it to be the same teenage pop music that One Direction was making, but, surprisingly, Harry Styles went in a completely different direction. With elements of Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Rolling Stones, and even a hint of Pink Floyd, he has made a dramatic change in his musical style from pure pop to a mixture of soft rock and indie.

Although his most popular songs are ones like ‘Watermelon Sugar’ and ‘Adore You’, I prefer listening to ‘She’, ‘Sweet Creature’, and ‘Two Ghosts’. The song ‘Sweet Creature’ is distinctly Beatle-esque, and the opening finger-picked guitar riff is not unlike the one in the Beatles’ song ‘Blackbird’.
