Styles has been working on new music since his boy band One Direction kicked off a hiatus at the end of 2015, and, according to fellow British pop star Sheeran, the singer is doing a good job, reported Daily Mirror.
"I've heard a little bit," Sheeran said of Styles' upcoming album.
"It really shows him off as an artist and a singer, which is what it was always going to be. I can't say too much about it as it's not my project, and I've got no idea when it's coming out. It's quality."
The record label boss also stated the 23-year-old heartthrob is doing his label bosses proud with the tunes he's working on for his upcoming solo effort.
Music isn't the only thing Styles is working on - the star is also carving out an acting career for himself and will be seen in director Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated war movie "Dunkirk", which reaches US cinemas in July.
