Harry Styles has announced today that he will release his second album on December 13.

The One Direction star kicked off his solo career in 2017 with the release of his self-titled debut album, and has now announced that his follow-up solo effort, titled Fine Line, will be released next month.

In a tweet posted beside the album’s artwork, Styles wrote: “FINE LINE . THE ALBUM . DEC 13 (sic)”. The photo taken by the English fashion photographer Tim Walker, shows Styles posing in a fuschia shirt, tucked into high-waisted, white trousers.

Styles’ first solo effort, Harry Styles, came out in May 2017.

Last month, he released his new track, Lights Up, the first music he has dropped in two years. The track was produced by its co-writers, Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon. The song currently has over 77 MILLION streams.

Meanwhile, during recent interviews with Capital FM and Heart Radio in the UK, the singer-songwriter also admitted that he was "nervous" playing his new album for his close friend, Stevie Nicks.

He said: "It's a double-edged thing. You're always nervous when you are playing people music for the first time.

"You've heard it so much by this point, you forget that people haven't heard it before. It's hard to not feel like you've done what you've set out to do.

"You are happy with something and then someone who you respect so much and look up to is, like: 'I really like this.'"

About Styles' new music, Nicks said: "It's not like his last album. It's not like anything One Direction ever did. It's pure Harry, as Harry would say. He's made a very different record and it's spectacular."
