Hey, I'm Brian Hyatt, and this is Rolling Stone Music Now.

I'm in the studio with Brittany Spanos and Rob Sheffield.

And we're going to talk about Rob's amazing Harry Styles cover story and all things

Harry Styles. Rob I'll start out by just grounding us in some facts there is a

Harry Styles album that you saw some of being recorded or there's music coming.

What's the deal with it? What's going on with this next album?

It's coming when it's coming. There's no official release date and they haven't divulged any of the details like the title or anything like that.

I can tell you it's awesome. I can definitely tell you it's awesome. Can you say a little bit more about what you heard in addition to the song you're sang some backup vocals on? Describe it is very varied but absolutely

intense and soulful and true and really remarkably expansive I just think it's great

it's going to be fantastic.

And it is again kind of a rock album in the sense that it's live instrumentation by these guys he plays with and

it's in that vein again like the last one? Yeah he loves the studio process. It's funny for somebody who loves

performing so much that he also loves hibernating in the studio so much and he liked to say

that one direction never got to go into the studio and make an album.

And he said, that's something we never got to experience as a band.

We never went into the studio and said, we're making an album.

And he said, I'm always jealous of bands that got to do it that way of we're going into the studio we're making an

album all hands on deck and nobody leaves till it's done and so we really

clearly enjoyed that experience with his first album where he really created an

incredibly unified and personal record.

So what does that mean about the 1D sessions?

Break that a little bit more like because they obviously made albums.
