With Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, Harry Styles Is Ready for a Comeback

Harry Styles’s three-year hiatus from music has been a fruitful one. He’s taken up marathon running, watched the new pope be announced, shaved his head (and grown his hair back), and started a new relationship with the actor and director Zoë Kravitz. But now, the singer is officially jumping back into the music world with his fourth solo album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.

Out March 6, the project marks Styles’s first album since 2022’s Harry’s House. That record won him four Grammys, including the coveted Album of the Year award. Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally is produced by the singer’s longtime collaborator Kid Harpoon and features 12 songs. The first track from the project, “Aperture,” is slated for a January 23 release date.

On January 22, Styles announced official dates for his “Together, Together” Tour in support of Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. It includes a series of residences in seven global cities from May to December: Amsterdam, London, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, New York City, and Melbourne. The singer is set to return to Madison Square Garden for a whopping 30-date residency at the iconic venue. Special guests include Robyn, Shania Twain, Fcukers, Jorja Smith, Jamie xx, Fousheé, and Skye Newman.

In the days before Styles officially announced the project, eagle-eyed fans noticed posters popping up across New York City, Palermo, São Paulo, and Berlin with the words “We Belong Together.” According to the BBC, the image is from the last night of Styles’s tour in 2023. The ads also feature the words “See You Very Soon” and webelongtogether.co, a Sony website that has a moving image of that crowd. Styles released a surprise video “Forever, Forever” on December 27.

Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally is likely inspired by Styles’s love of a good rave party. But is it possible that he’s been quietly teasing his return via the art world for months now?

A giant image of the singer’s concert was the talk of Art Basel Miami Beach this past December after being displayed as the focal point of London gallery White Cube’s booth. During his last tour, Styles collaborated with the renowned German artist Andreas Gursky for a work that combined imagery from several performances. In it, Styles is captured from the back, standing in front of his thousands of adoring (and mostly female) fans.

“He performed in Düsseldorf and got in touch with me,” Gursky said in an interview. “We met here in the studio and liked each other. I don't think I would have thought of working with him on my own. And what distinguishes this picture from the ones I've done before is the audience, which is 99 percent young women. And the fact that cell phones play such a dominant role at a concert. I wanted to address the fact that everyone is trying to capture him with their cell phone, a very contemporary phenomenon.”

The work had previously premiered at Gursky’s most recent solo show with White Cube back in October. According to the artist, Styles ended up buying the piece.
