(Reuters) — Former One Direction singer has released his first video clip of his new single “Sign of the times”. The video for the power ballad shows Styles flying over mountains and walking on water. The video was filmed in Isle of Sky, Scotland.
“When shooting the ‘Sign of the Times’ music video in Isle of Sky, which does not use any green screen visual effects, Harry flew over 1,550 feet high in the air – taller than both the Empire State Building in New York City and the Shard in London – while suspended by a helicopter rig,” according to the record label’s press release.
It’s the British singer’s first own music release since popular boy band One Direction announced it was taking a break in 2016. Rock ballad ‘Sign of the Times’ has been compared to the late David Bowie’s music. Harry said in an interview: “It’s the song I’m most proud of writing.” The singer follows in the footsteps of One Direction bandmates Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson in putting out solo material in the last year. The original five-member band formed on British television talent show “The X Factor” in 2010 won legions of fans around the world.
