Niall Horan became the first current member of One Direction to branch out on his own musically, releasing the solo track “This Town” in a video on Thursday morning.
Several members of One Direction are rumored to be working on solo projects. Former bandmate Zayn Malik launched a solo career earlier this year after leaving One Direction.

Niall is taking his singing and songwriting in a completely different acoustic direction. The no frills, Ed Sheeran-esque “This Town” was recorded with one microphone in one take.
Greg Kurstin, the super-producer behind Adele's “Hello”, Sia's “The Greatest” and “Cheap Thrills”, and dozens of other hits, produced the track.
