He has got rid of his widely known locks and as of now HARRY STYLES is looking at the option of disassociating his ties with ONE DIRECTION. The information is that the heart throb is deeply involved and right in the center of a bidding rivalry between Universal and Sony who rule the records world while his , mentor SIMON COWELL aligns himself to be without the star and no longer see him attached to his lose his label, Syco. As for Harry’s upcoming deal with Universal,that will be out of the US and chances are that he will associate Capitol Records, who are alligned with KATY PERRY, EAGLES, BECK and also THE BEACH BOYS.
This label which has its existence at the iconic Capitol Records Tower in Hollywood, is operated by Brit hot-sharp music exec Steve Barnett. And Steve Barnett got acquainted with Harry in the course of launching of One Direction spin-off band 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER. In this regard it must be kept in mind that it was the Universal Music Group chairman Lucian Grainge who made an attempt to rope in 1D so as to take him away from Sony. Lucian the mighty one is also considered to be the one who lured Harry away from the record company.Coinciding with this are the huge efforts by Sony to retain him, thus setting a war like activity in the world of music. Sony are offering Harry multi incentives to stay with them and stretched themselves to the extent of opening up access to the banks to him. If we look at the previous such fights of Sony ,in the case of Robbie Williams they successfully kept him attached to Sony and did not let Universal succeed in taking him away.
A similar thing happened in the case of ADELE when Sony made a great deal for which they deserve compliments. Reliable sources who have access to 1D say it was unavoidable for Harry not to distance himself from the band. In this regard an 1D insider explained: “It was obvious from day one that Harry wouldn’t stay with Simon Cowell, Syco or a Sony label. There is no doubt that Harry is all out to detach himself from the band which of course means that a new team will be in place for America. And all this is in line with a strategy and master plan encouraged and managed by his dear friend Jeff Azoff who wants to launch Harry through his own management company. The target is to let Harry come out as a solo super one.
