In this world, it’s just him: Harry Styles has announced that his long-awaited, fourth studio album will arrive this spring.
Titled Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally and out March 6, the album is Styles’s first full-length project in four years.
It follows the 2022, critically acclaimed synth pop record Harry’s House, which earned the former One Direction star the top prize of album of the year at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
Styles shared the cover artwork for Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, on Instagram on Thursday which features the 31-year-old artist in a T-shirt and jeans at night, standing underneath a shimmering disco ball hung outside. The post garnered over four million likes in just three hours.
According to a press release, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally will contain 12 tracks and is executive produced by Kid Harpoon.
The British songwriter and producer has been a close collaborator of Styles’s since the beginning of his solo career, working on all of his albums since the singer’s 2017 self-titled debut.
Rumours confirmed
This project confirms rumours of the British pop star’s return to the scene. Styles has kept quiet in two years since his last tour wrapped, occasionally being spotted in London biking, getting coffee or taking a stroll with Zoe Kravitz, his rumoured fling.
That was until about three weeks ago when he dropped a surprise YouTube video titled Forever, Forever, featuring a piano ballad of the same name performed on the final night of his record-breaking Love on Tour.
The video, over eight minutes long, concludes with the phrase “We belong together” flashing on screen. It also features footage of fans in Italy prepping for the final tour stop — showing off their outfits (feather boas, friendship bracelets and all), speculating what Styles would wear on stage and singing Satellite, the third single off his last album.
Speculation ramped up further when posters and billboards began to pop up up in several cities, including Toronto, reading “We belong together” and “See you very soon,” alongside a new website using the same phrase.
The new album is also Styles’s first project since his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne died in 2024 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina.
