Nathan Sykes on debut album: 'I've tried to craft a sound I believe in'

Heartthrob Nathan Sykes has revealed that he wanted to reintroduce himself as a new artist after his band The Wanted decided to split.

Speaking to The Mirror recently about working on his highly anticipated solo album, the heartthrob confessed that it's all about timing and he wanted to 'reintroduce' himself after leaving his days with The Wanted behind:

“I think as a new artist, it’s very important to reintroduce myself to people, what I didn’t want to do was put out any old thing and hope any fans of The Wanted would go and buy it. I really wanted something that was really special and really close to my heart. Something that I really hope would last a really long time."

"It would have been disrespectful to the fans but to the band as well if I tried to flog an album off the back of our success. I’ve really tried to go away and craft a sound that I really believe in."

"I think the amount of singles I’ve got going into the album, that’s just part of the reintroduction and people getting familiar with not just me as an artist but with me being a solo artist, not just the young one from The Wanted.”
