​There\'s been talk of Harry Styles doing his own solo stuff during One Direction\'s hiatus for a while now, and it looks like things are about to happen faster than ever after he reportedly signed a recording contract with Columbia Records. Ooooh.

So there are already whispers about his solo stuff \'being better than Zayn Malik\'s\' and Hazlan von Styles has allegedly already registered some solo tracks, but it\'s only now that he\'s apparently signed a solo deal.

According to Billboard, sources say deal terms are not yet known and there is no timeline for a solo album, but that he has definitely signed to the same label as One Direction.

Although reps for Harry Styles haven\'t yet commented on the reported news yet, they haven\'t denied it either - which could reveal more than the former.

But still, at this point we\'d welcome ANY One Direction music with open arms and our ears ready for liquid gold - whether that means 4/4 together, or not.
