RYAN TEDDER ON LIAM PAYNE’S SOLO MATERIAL, HIS NEAR BREAKDOWN AND ADELE BEATING BEYONCÉ AT THE GRAMMYS
I’m curious, as a record producer, what you make of the different directions the various members of One Direction have gone in musically. Who could you see yourself working with out of that group?
I’ve already done a song with Liam [Payne] and I’m actually recording a second song with him next week. His stuff is spectacular. Another one of my writers, Noel Zancanella, who I did a lot of the Taylor Swift stuff with, and some of the Adele stuff that didn’t make the album, he has a huge record on the Liam album. It’s a dance record. I personally think it’s the biggest one on the album. I’ve heard about three records. I know what the first single is and there’s a lot of fame attached to the first single, I’ll say that.
How would you describe Liam’s solo material?
If you took [One Direction song] “Story of My Life” and turned it into an album, that’s kind of Niall [Horan]’s direction, right? Zayn obviously went R&B and urban. Harry is classic Britpop; Mott the Hoople meets Robbie Williams—that lane. I like Louis [Tomlinson], but he’s the one I’ve talked to the least. Funnily enough of all the routes that people have taken, the one lane that was left wide open was straight pop. So Liam is pop, and doing it in a fantastic fashion. He has a killer voice. There’s elements of stuff I like from Usher, there’s stuff that’s edgy like The Weeknd…it’s all over the map—it’s pop. It’s really high quality. I’ve only done one song with him that I did with Stargate. I’m cutting another song with him next week. The other one that [Zancanella] did with J Kash, it’s my favorite record I’ve heard. If it’s not a hit I need to clear my ears out—it’s so good.

James Arthur Talks “Say You Won’t Let Go” & Second Chances: Interview
The rise, fall and resurrection of James Arthur has been written about at length. In a nutshell, the Brit won X Factor in 2012, landed a global hit with “Impossible” and then had a public meltdown. Most talent show winners don’t get a second act, especially after causing that much chaos, but James isn’t your average X Factor alum. For starters, there’s a grit and authenticity to him that sets him apart, and then there’s that voice, the kind of soulful (in a blue-eyed kind of way) instrument that comes out of the UK once or twice a generation.

CASEY GETS UNION SACK Union J’s newest addition Casey Johnson says his Last Goodbye as he’s sacked after just 12 months
X Factor group is under new management who believe singer didn’t fit the image
UNION J’s boyband member swap hasn’t worked as planned.
I can reveal new signing CASEY JOHNSON, formerly of STEREO KICKS, has been axed after just 12 months.
The X Factor group have just been taken over by new management who believed the singer didn’t fit the image. They want JJ HAMBLETT, JAYMI HENSLEY and JOSH CUTHBERT to press ahead as a trio.
It’s such a shame for Casey as I thought he was the perfect replacement for GEORGE SHELLEY, who quit Union J in March last year.
