Nathan Sykes: 'I'm paying more attention to fashion'

Nathan Sykes believes his musical evolution is intertwined with fashion progression.

The singer is in the throes of launching his solo career as he channels a more soulful sound than previous group The Wanted.

Speaking in a new interview with Schön magazine, the Brit said that he is more attuned to trends as he grows older.

The 22-year-old said: "I think with an evolution of my sound I wanted that to go hand in hand with an evolution of fashion as well.

"I think I’m at the age where naturally I started developing an interest in fashion, because I think as a 16 year old from Gloucester who's just got into a boy band, I think I can be forgiven for some of the fashion choices that I made.

"I’m more aware of what's going on. I'm paying more attention to what's coming in and out of fashion, what people are wearing, what people aren't wearing and just going 'Oh okay so I kind of like what they've done' and I've gotten to work with some really cool people."

Sykes meanwhile will release his debut single 'Kiss Me Quick' on July 5.
