Liam Payne Talks Life After 1D, New Single ‘Familiar,’ and Why He’s Taking His Time With His Solo Career
With “Familiar,” his recent Latin-tinged collaboration with J Balvin, setting the stage for his debut solo album, due September 14, Liam Payne sat down with Billboard to talk about his eclectic sound, his “surprise” collaborations, and how he plans to keep One Direction fans happy with his new music.
You’re in a whole new musical space these days. What does that feel like?
Musically, it’s been a real change of pace for me. When we used to make records in One Direction, we’d already sold the tour we were making the record for. It wasn’t like the pressure was off — in fact, it was a lot more pressure, [like,] “Now we’ve got to make a whole album that’s good enough to hold a stadium together.” We were playing for 60,000 to 80,000 people, so we used to make our songs around those longer choruses for people to sing it out.
But now I’ve come out of the band, everything I’m doing is partially because of the music I like and [partially] because of the way the industry is going at the moment. You don’t know when to release, when not to release, when radio is going to respond. It’s all based around that sort of stuff. Rather than making music based on an instinct about a size of a room, I’ve had to get used to now thinking about the what beats are going to catch people and make them remember the song. When you think about a song like [new single] “Familiar,” it gets in your head. That’s the way I make music now, and that’s been the biggest change of pace for me. That was hard to get used to at the start, because I wrote half of the last three [1D] albums with Louis.
