Harry Styles returns with a second single, “Sweet Creature,” ahead of his debut album, ‘Harry Styles.’ “Sweet Creature” falls short of “Sign of the Times.”

With four out of five One Direction members issuing debut singles, Harry Styles narrowly edges Zayn for top honors with “Sign of the Times.”

Harry Styles delivers a gem on thoughtful, debut solo single, “Sign of the Times.” The maturity trumps the bubblegum nature of the songs by One Direction.

One Direction has a clear 'hierarchy.' While the band lacks the personality of 90s boy bands, there are distinctions within the group musically.
