Harry Styles Wants One Direction's Fifth Album To Be Their Best Yet!

The boyband have started work on their next LP without Zayn Malik...

Now that the news of Zayn Malik’s departure from One Direction has finally started to settle, the remaining foursome have started work on their fifth album.

That’s right Directioners - the Mysterious One may be gone but that hasn’t stopped Harry, Louis, Liam and Niall from getting back in the studio and “bringing their A game”.

[related]Louis took to Instagram yesterday (April 13) to reveal that him and Liam were having their “1st day back writing” for album No.5, and a source has also told Hollywood Life all about how One Direction have pushed forward without Zayn.

The insider explained: “Zayn’s departure has definitely lit a fire under their asses. The boys are convinced [their next album] will be their biggest success yet.

“Liam is really the catalyst making sure everyone is focused and bringing their A game. He needn’t worry though as Louis, Harry and Niall are all on board and working hard.

“Harry really wants to make his mark as a songwriter and show he’s a talented one at that. He knows this album could make or break his future musical career and is taking it very seriously.

While Zayn’s already had a demo of his alleged ‘solo work’ uploaded online thanks to his producer pal Naughty Boy, One Direction are yet to preview what their sound sans Zayn will be like.

However, they HAVE released their first official picture without Zayn, and even though we’re still not quite used to seeing 1D as a four-piece, they still manage to make it look damn good.

Are you excited to hear what direction (excuse the pun) the boys take for their fifth album?
