Uh, why would it be odd? If an artist goes solo, the chances are that they want to spread their wings and tackle music/styles/themes/directions their parent band couldn't, or that they couldn't in their parent band. Not a whole lot of point in leaving to go solo and then churning out the same music you did in the band, is there?

Look at the music of anyone who's gone solo: Fish with Marillion. Neal Morse with Spock's Beard. Bob Catley with Magnum. Gilmour. Waters. Peter Hammill. All engaged in different types of music --- sometimes subtly, sometimes radically --- to that which they played within the bands they left. After all, you have to have a reason to go solo, and ego aside, that's often a case of "musical differences", which sometimes means that you want to play a certain style/genre or just way, that your bandmates don't.
