"Sarah Harding has teased details of her solo material. The former Girls Aloud star claims she will be a &amp;quot;darker&amp;quot; version of Rihanna when she launches her solo career later this year.  She told Star magazine that fans can expect an &amp;quot;edgier pop&amp;quot; sound from her new material when it is released, explaining: &amp;quot;Everyone is expecting me to go down a rocky route, but I don&amp;#039;t think the fans are quite ready for that! It&amp;#039;s like an edgier pop. I love Rihanna&amp;#039;s kind of music, with a sort of darker vibe that I can put my spin on.  &amp;quot;Obviously, there&amp;#039;s a lot for me to write about, but I just want to raise some eyebrows and inspire people. I put that on Twitter the other day.&amp;quot; The 31-year-old revealed last week that she will use some of her recent troubles - including being banned from driving for six months - in the writing process for the album. However, she admitted that many people were worried about her when she tweeted to say she had a lot of experiences she could put into her music.  She continued: &amp;quot;I thought that was a good one, but then everyone was going, &amp;#039;Are you OK? You&amp;#039;re being very deep!&amp;#039;  &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a very deep side to me. I do have a very emotional side. I&amp;#039;m only human. I&amp;#039;m the same as everyone else - despite what&amp;#039;s been said recently.&amp;quot; Harding went on to reveal details about what her former bandmates have been getting up to since they called a day on their time together.  Asked if they were in touch, she said: &amp;quot;Yeah, Nadine [Coyle] is working on some more stuff and Cheryl [Cole] is taking a break. She&amp;#039;s worked hard for years, so it&amp;#039;s probably time she put her feet up.  &amp;quot;Kimberley [Walsh] has been non-stop with the dancing. I don&amp;#039;t know how she got through that and the tour. The rehearsals nearly killed me!&amp;quot;  She added that although the tour was a wonderful experience, it is &amp;quot;nice to be an individual&amp;quot; following the group&amp;#039;s split.
