Niall Horan to work with Ellie Goulding on solo music
Quote:
he ONE DIRECTION singer is counting on his old mate ELLIE GOULDING to conjure up a breakthrough hit as she revealed the pair are heading into the studio. It’s a sure-fire sign Niall is planning to surprise 1D fans awaiting solo material as it was thought HARRY STYLES had been doing the early running having already recorded 20 tracks.
In an exclusive interview, Ellie told me: “I’m going to write with him. He’s a really good guitarist and he’s funny, cheeky, really cool. He’s been my friend for quite a few years so I’m really up for it.”
Niall was back with his 1D bandmates yesterday performing tracks at Radio 1’s Live Lounge. LIAM PAYNE shocked fans by admitting their hiatus, which I revealed in August, is going to last for two years.
It’s confirmation that the lads want more time to get their solo careers established and fuels the doubts that they will ever re-form. As always, Harry swerved giving any of his thoughts on the matter. He was on “vocal rest”, meaning he couldn’t contribute to their set, which included a cover of Torn by NATALIE IMBRUGLIA.
Two years gives Ellie and Niall, who once dated, plenty of time to write a No1 song. Ellie is clearly fascinated how all the 1D boys will get on as solo stars. She says ZAYN MALIK — who stole a march on his former bandmates by quitting the group back in March — has got a “great voice”. But she believes they all have what it takes. She said: “They’ve got years ahead of them. They can all sing and I don’t know about you but I love every song they release. I think they’ve got amazing taste in pop songs and they work with the right people so I think they could all succeed.”
