Harry Styles has released his first single, “Aperture,” from his upcoming fourth album Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally, set for release on March 6. The new album arrives four years after Harry’s House and marks Styles’ first release since the death of his former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne in October 2024.

Since launching his solo career, Styles has reshaped the possibilities of post-boy-band pop stardom. His solo run has yielded chart-topping albums, multiple Grammy wins, and a rare crossover appeal that bridges pop, rock, and classic singer-songwriter traditions throughout albums like his self-titled debut back in 2017 and Fine Lines in 2019. Harry’s House alone produced the global hit “As It Was,” spent weeks atop several music charts for months, back in 2022, and cemented Styles as one of the few modern pop artists capable of pairing commercial dominance with a distinct artistic identity. 

“Aperture” pulls listeners into Styles’ current sonic lane, composed with sleek electronics, progressive house textures, and Baltimore club–influenced percussion. The track steadily expands, growing brighter and more sensual as his trademark baritone settles into the mix. Over rattling hi-hats, rising synths, and buzzing bass lines, Styles sings about wanting to “belong together,” anchoring the song’s club-ready momentum with emotional clarity. The result marks a clear shift away from the sunlit soft rock palette of Harry’s House, signaling a more nocturnal, dancefloor-oriented direction.

Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally arrives with that legacy firmly in place, marking his return to music after a prolonged absence and signaling the next phase of an already era-defining solo career.
