Harry Styles did not disappoint his fans. After over two years of waiting for a new album, the One Direction member dropped his new album Fine Lines and the added spreadsheet photo in the vinyl edition is enough to make everyone drool.
Styles released his new album on December 13. In his vinyl booklet is a two-sided spreadsheet poster and one of its sides shows Harry naked in a pool shaped like a human heart.
During his appearance at The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, Harry was asked how the photoshoot came about. The "Sign of the Time" singer first stressed that it was his first time to do a naked photoshoot and it was a result of the clever maneuvering of British photographer Tim Walker.
He explained that he and Walker at first tried the normal way: with clothes and everything. Walker said Harry's shirt doesn't look good in the photo so they decided to make it a shirtless shoot.
But then, the photographer said Harry's trouser doesn't work either, so they try it without his pants. So that is how Harry ended up naked.
DeGeneres also asked Harry if Fine Lines is about a failed relationship. The singer said he wrote music from personal experience. He admitted that the album is about what he was going through when he co-wrote the songs in the LP.
"I think the thing with this album for me is while I was making it, the times when I was kind of sad... but then at the same time, the times when I was happy were some of the best times I've ever had in my life. It's both, it's a fine line," he said.
In the interview, Harry also talked about life after One Direction. He admitted that he was nervous at first to do solo especially coming out from a world-renowned boy group.
The "Adore You" singer said he just reminded himself not to have too much expectation. Fortunately, fans love Harry as a solo artist and his first solo album was a hit. The English artist admitted to Ellen that he is happy doing solo and he is happy that people are enjoying his music.
Meanwhile, Harry also opened up about living alone in Japan for a month. The 25-year-old singer/songwriter said he had visited the country in the past but he hasn't experience traveling alone. Overall, he enjoyed his stay in Japan and but the time he left, he already knew some Japanese words and he can converse with locals.
Harry is set to hold a tour, called Love On Tour, in 2020. It will kick off in Birmingham, England on April 15. So far, the singer announced 68 dates for his tour.
