You wouldnā€™t expect a song that opens with the lyric ā€œplayed with myself, where were you?ā€ to evolve into a rumination on loss and maturity, but underestimation is the underlying theme of Harry Stylesā€™s solo self-titled debut. As the lead of One Direction, he wasnā€™t supposed to have the foundation to make singer-songwriter quality work. But this song, an acoustic meditation on the internal war of missing someone you also accept you canā€™t get back, sounds like the best tortured Jack Johnson or Ryan Adams ballads. Another happy surprise: Styles, when given the microphone all to himself, has a damn fine falsetto.

In the third and final presentation of our Grammy Whisperer Paul Greinā€™s early ruminations about the Big Four categoriesā€™ potential 2018 nominees, he covers both Record and Song of the Year. While Harry Styles might not get an Album nod, and will presumably be nixed for Best New Artist due to the superstardom he reached as part of a group, his ā€œSign of the Timesā€ seems to be a shoe-in for Song and/or Record honors. SONG OF THE YEAR Harry Styles will likely be nominated for ā€œSign of the Times.ā€ His co-writers include Jeff Bhasker, who received three consecutive noms in this category from 2011-13 for co-writing Kanye Westā€™s ā€œAll of the Lights,ā€ fun.ā€™s ā€œWe Are Youngā€ and P!nkā€™s ā€œJust Give Me a Reason.ā€ RECORD OF THE YEAR Harry Styles is also a sure thing for ā€œSign of the Times,ā€ one of the yearā€™s best singles and a major step forward for this young star. Grammy trivia: This will be the first time that a single from the first solo album by an artist who rose to fame in a group or duo has been nominated since Gwen Stefaniā€™s ā€œHollaback Girlā€ 12 years ago.Ā

#20 - Harry Styles, ā€˜Harry Stylesā€™

Harry Styles has proven himself a force to be reckoned with out of all the One Direction members, using classic rock influences to drive the sound on his self-titled album. It was a risk that paid off, even if it meant becoming a meme while filming your debut solo video. From the earnest ā€œTwo Ghostsā€ to the giddiness of ā€œKiwi,ā€ Styles proved he can diversify his sound enough to satisfy fans young and old. ā€“ FUSE
