Harry Styles debuts second single two days before bandmate's new release

One Direction star Harry Styles has debuted his second single two days before bandmate Niall Horan releases his.

Sweet Creature exclusively premiered on Tuesday (02May17) on Apple Music's Beats 1 Radio, hosted by Zane Lowe.

It's the third track solo Styles has offered up after performing his first single Sign of the Times and another new album track, Ever Since New York, on Saturday Night Live on 15 April (17).

All three songs will appear on Harry's eponymous debut album, which will be released on 12 May (17).

Bandmate Horan will also release new music this week (ends05May17) - his second single Slow Hands will be out on Thursday. It follows the success of Niall's debut single This Town earlier this year.

New dad Liam Payne remains the only member of the boy band yet to release solo material - Louis Tomlinson teamed up with DJ Steve Aoki for Just Hold On and the group's Zayn Malik has enjoyed massive hits with tracks including Pillowtalk, Like I Would and I Don't Wanna Live Forever, his collaboration with Taylor Swift, since he left in 2015.
