It’s been nearly four years since Harry Styles released his third studio album, Harry’s House, which won the Grammy for album of the year at the 65th annual ceremony and included the smash “As It Was,” which spent 15 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. So of course, fans are excited for his next chapter: Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
On Jan. 12, the former One Directioner teased new music with a cryptic website that pointed to a video of his performance that flashed “We Belong Together”; clicking on the site’s banner directed fans to text a phone number. Days later, that number sent messages to fans who signed up a voice note that sounded like Styles singing “we belong together” softly.
Three days later, the 31-year-old artist made the big reveal by posting the cover art to his fourth full-length and its name with the date “March 6” to his Instagram.
Styles followed by announcing the album’s first single, “Aperture,” would be out Jan. 22, and that he would be going on a seven-city tour called Together, Together later this year. (His last time on the road for Love on Tour began in September of 2021 in Las Vegas, and ended in July of 2023 in Italy.)
In a chat on SiriusXM with John Mayer, Styles also shared that he approached Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally differently. “I had a lot of people over and have been playing it and we’ve had like people in the studio and playing it. I think every other record that I’ve made, I’ve always felt really guarded about who’s hearing it and it’s always felt, you know, no one hears it until it’s finished and stuff like that,” he said. “And I think realizing that that made the music feel like a product, is something that I wanted to reverse.”

The Vibe
“I was playing demos to friends and I’d be with friends and put it on and be like, ‘What do you think of this?’ And it just became really obvious that it was music that was meant to be played loud. That is when it feels its best,” Styles told Mayer.
