One Direction Preview Two New Songs From ‘Made In The AM’ [Watch]
One Direction just dropped snippets of two new songs from their upcoming offering "Made in the A.M."
The group released a video on YouTube previewing both tracks, titled "Temporary Fix" and "Walking in the Wind," from their new album, according to Radio.com. Interviews with band members Niall Horan and Harry Styles are also included in the exclusive video.
"Temporary Fix" is an upbeat rock song, which was co-written by Horan, songwriter Wayne Hector and two members of production team TMS.
The song was created after the co-writers asked Horan what the band's forthcoming album was lacking. Horan told them it was missing a "rock song." This led them to use Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" to help spark some inspiration in creating the track. That track is about walking up to talk to a girl at a bar.
"It's relatable, I guess," Horan said. "Everyone has a grungy night out every now and then."
As for "Walking in the Wind," this song was inspired by Paul Simon's 1986 album "Graceland," according to Styles.
"I like 'Walking in the Wind' because I'm a big Paul Simon fan, and I think the inspiration behind it was 'Graceland,' in which the verse was so conversational, informal, and it's like spoken word," Styles said. "It's quite casual, and I love that album. And when I listen to it, I love hearing the influence from that in this song. I really love the song."
One Direction will release their fifth studio album, "Made in the A.M.," on Friday, Nov. 13. The new LP is now available for pre-sale on iTunes. So far, the album, the followup to 2014's "Four," has produced the singles "Drag Me Down" and "Perfect."
