One Direction producer says band are 'experimenting' on fifth album

One Direction producer Julian Bunetta says the band are trying new things when it comes to instrumentation for their next album.

The pop group are expected to release their fifth album by the end of the year.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, producer Bunetta said that the boyband are always willing to explore new musical avenues.

He said: "The albums I’ve produced [for One Direction] have been pretty diverse, but still had a cohesiveness somehow when they were all put together.

"I think there will be the same amount of diversity, but it seems to all be coming from the same perspective. We’re experimenting a little with different instrumentation."

When asked to expand on what will be different, Bunetta replied:

"Just strings and horns. We’re stretching out outside of the perimeters of what a traditional pop boy band would do. We’re just kind of having fun. No rules. That’s what it’s been.

"We just wanted to make an album that had influences of all the previous albums, but then, an evolved version."

The producer has worked on One Direction's last two albums - 2014's 'FOUR' and 'Midnight Memories', which was released in 2013.

The band, however, are due to take a break in 2016.
