Harry Styles has announced that he will release his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, on 6 March this year.
The new album will feature 12 tracks, the artist revealed on Thursday. The artwork depicts the 31-year-old pop star in sunglasses, crouching beneath a disco ball that appears to hang from the night sky. Limited edition vinyls, CD, exclusive merchandise, box sets, and more are available to pre-order through the singer’s website.
Rumours had been brewing that one of the UK’s biggest pop stars would make his hugely anticipated return this year after mysterious billboards – bearing the message “We belong together” – popped up in cities around the world, including New York, Manchester, Palermo and São Paulo.
Disco, Occasionally is executive-produced by Kid Harpoon, who won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and the Brit Award for Songwriter of the Year for his work on Style’s last album, Harry’s House. The 2022 album featured hits like “Watermelon Sugar” and “As It Was”, and ranked as the second most-streamed album on Spotify that year.
In 2022, Styles also starred in two films: the psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling, and the romantic period drama My Policeman.
Noise of the former One Direction star’s impending musical comeback has been accompanied by suggestions that Styles could headline Glastonbury in 2027, when the festival returns after its traditional fallow year. The celebrity.land has reported that he has signed a deal for a residency at the city’s Madison Square Garden, where he previously performed for a consecutive 15 nights.
There are also suggestions that he could play a UK residency at Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena, of which Styles is a significant investor. The venue will host this year’s Brit Awards – marking the first time the ceremony has been held outside London – next month.
Styles’s return comes after a period of dominance in pop by women, including Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo and Tate McRae. He is the latest One Direction star to announce new music following the loss of bandmate Liam Payne, who died after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires in October 2024.
One Direction formed on the reality TV show The X Factor in 2010. Despite coming in second place, Styles, Payne and bandmates Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan went on to become one of the most successful boybands of all time, selling millions of records and achieving a string of hit singles before splitting indefinitely in 2016.
