Simon Cowell's New Boy Band PrettyMuch Could Be the Next One Direction..don’t you think?
As we see One
Direction on semi-permanent vacation, there's a huge hole in the boy band
department, that is, until now...
Simon
Cowell's new boy band PRETTYMUCH just released their debut single "Would
You Mind" yesterday and our hearts may have skipped a beat.
The tune,
written by Savan Kotecha who's also worked with 1D, Ariana Grande and The
Weeknd, has some seriously late '80s and '90s vibes and channels old school Bel
Biv Devoe.
The group is
comprised of four teens from the U.S. and one Canadian, Austin Porter (19)
Brandon Arreaga (17), Edwin Honoret (18), Nick Mara (19) and Zion Kuwonu (18).
