So, Sign of the Times has landed, and Twitter is in fangirl heaven
In the wake of Zayn Malik and Niall Horan's respective solo releases, it's hardly surprising pressure was on Harry Styles ahead of his first solo endeavour.
But it looks like the former 1D singer need not have worried if the reaction on Twitter is anything to go by this morning.
The singer's first solo single, Sign of the Times, dropped today, and it looks like people are pretty impressed, with more than a few passing references to David Bowie circulating online.
An apparent departure from the signature One Direction sound, the 23-year-old has knocked it out of the park with this one…

Thought people were wrong when they said #signofthetimes was inspired by Bowie and Queen. But I hear it. Not like anything else on the radio
