Liam Payne has hailed the power of British music as he earned two Brit Award nominations for his debut solo single. The former One Direction star is nominated for best single and best artist video for Strip That Down, which features rapper Quavo. Having already collected seven Brits as part of One Direction, Payne finds himself competing with former bandmates Harry Styles and Zayn Malik in the best video category. He told the Press Association: “I’m really proud of British music as a whole at the moment. American music tends to sound, a lot of it, the same in terms of their commercial music,” he said.
