Nathan Sykes is suited up and grooving in the new music video for his debut single, “Kiss Me Quick.” Branching off from his success with British-Irish boy band The Wanted, this latest release marks the beginning of Sykes’ solo career.
Dressed to impress, the video shows off Sykes’ clean-cut look that surely has Justin Timberlake comparisons waiting around the corner. Singing in front a throng of drummers and trumpet players, the 22-year-old captivates with a soulful voice that is beyond his years.
“It’s basically just asking someone for a cheeky little kiss,” Sykes tells 99.7 [NOW!]. Joking about how bad he is at flirting, he says that’s what inspired him to write “Kiss Me Quick” so that the song “can flirt for me.”
Mission accomplished, Mr. Sykes!
Amidst all of the excitement over releasing new material, Sykes addressed the fact that The Wanted has not split up. “We’re taking a break as a band. We all just felt it was time to do our own things,” Sykes explains to People.
While the band is on hiatus, fans can enjoy being spoiled by Sykes’ soulful pop music. His new single will be available on iTunes on June 28, with plans to release his full-length album later this year.
