New music from One Direction‘s former members is flying in from all directions.
Next up it’s Liam Payne.
Drawing on his sex appeal, the 23-year-old sent fans into the definition of a frenzy when he uploaded video clip of himself topless bearing a teaser of the track.

Word on the curb is that Payne, who welcomed a son named Bear with British singer Cheryl Cole last month, is joined by Migos on the song and will unwrap it in full later this week.
The clear Urban lean makes for an interesting development in the post-1D narrative. For, while Niall Horan and Harry Styles have embraced Pop and Rock/Pop respectively, Payne’s play sees him bid for the same market share as former band mate Zayn Malik – who too has anchored himself in a more Urban skewed sound.
With both housed under rival labels (Sony/Universal), it should make for a riveting watch as to who comes out atop. As should the collective race between all active 1D vocalists, who are uniquely all releasing within the same window.
