After a series of mysterious circumstances, Harry Styles has finally announced the release of his newest album.
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally will make its debut on March 6, marking Harry Styles’ first full-length project since the release of his critically acclaimed record Harry’s House in 2022.
On various occasions throughout Styles’ four-year absence from the music world, many followers tried to find evidence that HS4 was on its way. Much like the Swifties, fans of the former One Direction star also sought out so-called “easter eggs” or hints that Styles was intending to release new music. Unfortunately, all of their theories were wrong.
Until now.
The hype began a few weeks ago when the singer released a video titled “Forever, Forever” on his YouTube channel. The video started by featuring footage of fans waiting outside of RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy for the final night of Styles’ 22-month long tour. The video followed various young people as they danced, sung and braided each other’s hair before transitioning into a clip of Styles playing a mysterious piano ballad. This untitled piece of music only made an appearance on the setlist this final night, leaving many fans wondering exactly what it meant.
Its reappearance was even more mysterious.
The video ended with the message, “We Belong Together,” leaving fans conflicted. After four years of radio silence, was this Styles’ way of finally saying goodbye to this chapter of his life? Or was this the beginning of something new?
This question was finally answered when posters featuring the video’s final message started popping up in major cities all around the world, much to the excitement of Styles’ fans. The posters were then followed by an update to his website, which featured the same message and footage.
On Jan. 15, Styles finally made the announcement. His new album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally would hit streaming services on March 6. Fans around the world went crazy.
As of right now, there isn’t a whole lot known about the album. Kid Harpoon, the producer of the singer’s last three albums, has also produced Styles’ newest work, containing 12 tracks, one of which we have now heard.
Given that Styles’ last three albums have been well received by fans and critics alike, there is very little doubt that this new record will also be fantastic. Furthermore, due to the singer’s long creative break, it is likely that the album will feature a fresh and renewed musical sound.
Altogether, there is much to look forward to this year for fans of Harry Styles.
