It’s been four years since Harry Styles has released new music. What has he been doing for all this time, you may ask?
Kissing all the time. Discoing, occasionally.
For his long-awaited fourth studio album, “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.,” Styles returns with a synth-heavy vengeance. In an interview with Apple Music, the singer shares how inspiration finally struck and how his freedom inspired his newfound sound: “What music do I have to make for me to be onstage feeling like I’m in the middle of the dance floor?” The result? His best album to date.
The album’s lead single, “Aperture,” was the first to arrive to fans’ ears earlier this year, offering a taste of what was to come. As the words “we belong together” flooded the headphones and car radios of teen and twenty-something girls everywhere, Styles was quietly plotting the remainder of his 2026 rollout: a full album, 30+ day residencies in some of the world’s best venues (hello Madison Square Garden (MSG)!), and his first ever solo Netflix special, “Harry Styles. One Night in Manchester,” where he took over “the Co-op Live Arena in front of 20,500 fans to perform the new album in full, ending with fan favorites Golden, Watermelon Sugar, As It Was, Sign of the Times and then Aperture for a second time,” according to a recent press release from Styles’ team. It was the first time the album had ever been played in full – but most certainly not the last.
“Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally” offers twelve tracks, each one daring you to get out of your head and onto the dance floor. Songs like “Ready, Steady, Go!” are trance-like; one moment, you’re listening absent-mindedly, but, before you know it, you’re dancing and singing along.
While “Dance No More” came from the memory of a wild night in Germany; “I remember going out for the first time in Berlin and standing in the middle of the dance floor and feeling so unbelievably free and safe that I just had my hands in the air and my eyes closed and I just felt these tears streaming down my face. And it was this moment of, like, ‘I feel so alive right now.,’” Styles tells Apple Music.
And Styles will bring that same feeling to fans on his sold-out “Together, Together” tour later this year. Performing in the world’s most iconic venues in some of the longest residencies in history, be sure to join Harry on the dance floor closest to you. We’ll see you at MSG!
