Liam Payne's fans are used to his pop-friendly music from the One Direction days, but now it seems that the singer wants to go down a very different music route.

The boyband star is reportedly saying goodbye to pop and saying hello to the world of grime.

According to The Sun, Liam has been in a few recording sessions with garage grime artist Krunchie and it's the way he wants to turn.

"Liam wants to make it clear that he's not just about cheesy ballads. He's a serious musician with many different strengths.

"Krunchie has inspired Liam by teaching him more about a new area of music and hopes one of their tracks will be his debut solo single."

But don't worry about him losing his way because Krunchie has worked with the likes of Rita Ora, Jess Glynne and Timbaland in the past.

He's in safe hands.
