The One Direction boys seem to be set on a new goal. If they have been such a massive hit among women fans, then it's probably time to also be successful with male followers.

One of its members, Liam Payne, has recently asked the male listeners to be unbiased and take the time to listen to their music especially with their new album this year, Perez Hilton reports. Liam Payne's exact message to the lads during his conversation with Capital FM stated:

"People say we don't work hard and it's all a game and whatever. We just wanna make good music, and this album - honestly, every lad out there tonight who's thinking One Direction are this and that. Literally, next album - pick up our album and see what you feel."

The most popular boy band of today is presently working on their highly awaited new album. Liam attests that their bond has turned out to be tighter amidst rumors that the group will soon break up for each to pursue a solo career, National Ledger reports.

Liam added that their schedules are currently jammed with rehearsals since the tour is soon to start and hence all these could be good enough proof that they are not separating to go their own ways.

One of the things that triggered such One Direction separation rumors is when 20-year-old Harry Styles was reported to have co-written songs with singer-song writer John Legend, IBT writes. The songs were meant to be sung by "X-Factor" contestants Alex and Sierra in their next album.

Meanwhile, the entire One Direction band emerged to be the leader of the recent Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards nominations. The UK boy band has been nominated in four categories. The Mark Wahlberg hosted ceremony will be held in LA and the winners will all be announced on March 30, according to BBC UK.
