Harry Styles Solo Album 2017 Release Date: Singer to Appear on 'SNL' After April 7 Debut Single
The world may be getting new music from another One Direction member as the band's hiatus continues. Harry Styles is apparently preparing to release a single on April 7.
It can be recalled that Styles signed a solo deal with Columbia Records in June 2016. And since then, fans have been on their toes waiting for new music. In February, Sony Music CEO Rob Stringer revealed that they were almost prepared to release Styles' record.
"We're close and we're very excited," Stringer told Billboard. "We have a record we're incredibly excited about and it's not far away from being ready."

And it looks like they will be ready by next week. A television ad that recently aired teased Styles' new music with a clip, which saw the singer slowly walking towards a door and opening it to reveal a bright light. As it ends, the date April 7 is shown. While the ad did not explicitly say that a single will be released on the said date, sources have confirmed just that to Billboard.
Not long after that, Styles is scheduled to appear on "Saturday Night Live" as a musical guest on April 15. "Saturday Night Live" alum and current host of "The Tonight Show" Jimmy Fallon will be hosting the episode. Fans are excited to watch Styles perform solo for the first time--presumably singing his new single.
But music is not the only field that Styles is undertaking. He is also appearing in Christopher Nolan's war film, "Dunkirk," which is scheduled to be released this year.
The singer-turned-actor also took to his Instagram account to tease his upcoming debut single, posting three blank photos that seem to serve as a countdown. He shared the same ones prior to announcing his Another Man magazine cover.
And while this is all certainly good news, One Direction fans are still holding on to the hope that the British-Irish band will reunite as promised. None of its members have said anything about disbanding for good. In fact, they always assure their fans that they are still on track for a reunion.
Stay tuned for the latest news and updates.
