On Friday, March 6, Harry Styles, the former One Direction member, released his fourth solo album, “Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally.” After a two-year hiatus, he is finally back, and all of his fans are very excited for him to be back.
Styles ended his last tour, “Love on Tour,” in 2023 after being on tour for two years. Fans were saddened to see his last show since they knew he would be gone for a while. After every tour Styles has done, he disappears for a couple of years to start fresh, then returns a couple of years later with a brand new album.
The album “Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally,” has 12 tracks, which include his first song that he released, “Aperture.” Styles has always made little hints whenever he comes back from his hiatus, such as his website posting little things. After not posting on any social media since October 2024, after his former bandmate from One Direction had passed away, he came back to social media and posted on Jan. 20, announcing that his new single “Aperture” was going to be released on Jan. 23.
The “Harries,” which are what his fans are known as, were very excited and shocked since they knew an album was going to be coming soon. Fans also speculated that a new tour would be announced soon after as well. The Harries went into listening to the song blind, not knowing what to expect, but after the song was released, they quickly realized that this album was going to be different and exciting.
The vibe of “Aperture” was very upbeat and disco, which got fans excited, knowing that the album would definitely be fun and upbeat. With the title, “Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally,” it had to be a fun and different album.
Here is the final Tracklist:
- “Aperture”
- “American Girls”
- “Ready, Steady, Go!”
- “Are You Listening Yet?”
- “Taste Back”
- “The Waiting Game”
- “Season 2 Weight Loss”
- “Coming Up Roses”
- “Pop”
- “Dance No More”
- “Paint By Numbers”
- “Carla’s Song”
After the album was released, fans were so shocked and amazed at how great the album is and how it makes them feel. It truly makes you want to get up and dance because of how good and fun it is.
Senior Ava Macias, who has been a fan of Styles for six years, said that she really liked the album since it’s something he has never really done before. She went into the album not knowing what to expect, but ended up really enjoying it.
“I really liked the album, it’s different from what he’s done before, so it was exciting to hear something completely new from him!” Macias said.
Macias said that her favorite song from the album is definitely track five, “Taste Back,” and that she was so excited for the new album since it was his first one in years, and she looked forward to hearing new music from him.
Macias also said that her favorite album from Styles has to be his first solo album, “Harry Styles,” because she feels as though it’s the perfect album and she will always go back to it.
“I just think that it’s the perfect album, and it’s insane to me that he debuted with that one; it’s so good, genuinely no skips,” Macias said.
Styles is now going on a new tour called “Together, Together” starting in May of this year. It is the first leg of the tour, and it starts in Amsterdam. Although he hasn’t announced any US dates, he does have 30 nights he is playing at Madison Square Garden in New York. LA fans and US fans speculate that he will announce the second leg of his tour, adding the US dates later on this year, since he always has shows in the United States.
“Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally” is truly an amazing album, and each song is so special. They all make you either want to dance or cry, but the album has no skips. It’s something new, and Harry has never made an album like this before. He really found himself in music again, and that’s what makes it truly special for him and his fans.
