Liam Payne, it seems, can't contain his excitement and recorded the clip on his phone and posted it to Instagram. The material is very similar to that of The Weeknd, and doesn't hint at anything groundbreaking or original coming out. Fans, however, have completely fallen for the singer's solo stuff which is set to be released via Capitol records. The short clip has received nearly a million views in just a weekend. Horan is another member of One Direction to ahve ditched Simon Cowell for a solo career.
