One Direction Planning "Edgy" New Album: 1D Changing Their Image?

One Direction is getting edgy, y'all. Well, at least that's the promise for their upcoming new album. Could 1D be changing up their image a bit and getting a little more rock star? We'll believe it when we see...er...hear it.

In a recent interview with the Today show, the One Direction guys dished a bit on what fans can expect with their fourth album and, as we had hoped, they are going to mature even more and try out some new stuff. And that includes being super involved in the writing process.

Niall explained, "I think it's going to be a little bit more edgy. But obviously we feel like we've got some really good songs and we're happy."

Liam noted their song writing contributions, saying, "We've all taken a hand in the writing this time. And we've literally written almost every song."

Sigh. We can't wait to have a listen to all the new music.
