Mick Jagger Slams Harry Styles Comparisons: ‘He Doesn’t Have a Voice Like Mine’
Harry Styles just released his third album, Harry’s House, and the 13-song project just further proves that the former One Direction star is heavily influenced by classic rock. As a solo artist, Styles has garnered comparisons to Mick Jagger, but from the sounds of it the Rolling Stones frontman isn’t too pleased with those. During an interview with the Times UK, Jagger made some interesting comments about the pop star. After admitting he has “an easy relationship” with Styles, the rock icon made some subtle jabs. “I mean, I used to wear a lot more eye make-up than him. Come on, I was much more androgynous,” Jagger noted. “And he doesn’t have a voice like mine or move on stage like me; he just has a superficial resemblance to my younger self, which is fine — he can’t help that.” Styl...
Harry Styles’ Harry’s House Is a Beguiling Homage to ‘80s Pop Full of Romance and Regret
Since the release of his debut solo single “Sign of The Times,” Harry Styles has made it clear that the (one) direction he would be heavily inspired by classic rock.

All the while, he’s remained genre-fluid, experimenting with psych-pop, funk, folk and indie-rock, but maintaining a pop ethos that would make The Beatles proud. Evoking comparisons to a modern-day Mick Jagger (he even portrayed him on Saturday Night Live), Harry Styles has established himself as the gentleman rock star of the pop world. It’s not just his talent: His charm, swagger. and kindness sets him apart from predecessors like Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake, who secured a followi...
