Harry Styles has officially announced his return to music with a new album titled Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., marking his first studio release in four years. The 31-year-old Grammy winner revealed the news on Thursday, Jan. 15, confirming that the album will be released on March 6 and will feature 12 tracks.
The project follows 2022's Harry's House, which earned widespread acclaim and won Album of the Year at the 2023 Grammy Awards, alongside Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The new record is executive produced by Styles' longtime collaborator Kid Harpoon, who has worked on all of the singer's previous albums.
Styles shared the announcement on Instagram, posting the album artwork and later joking on his Instagram Stories by adding a large arrow pointing at himself with the word "ME." The cover image shows him standing beneath a disco ball in an open field, wearing swimming goggles.
The announcement comes after weeks of fan speculation fueled by cryptic teasers. In December, Styles released an extended instrumental performance titled "Forever, Forever" from the final night of his Love on Tour shows. The video ended with the phrase "we belong together," which later appeared on billboards in cities including New York, Manchester and São Paulo. Some billboards read messages such as "see you very soon," while others directed fans to a mysterious website.
Earlier this week, fans who signed up through the site also received a brief voice note of Styles singing "we belong together" a cappella. No official music from the new album has been released so far.
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. arrives four years after Styles wrapped his massive Love on Tour, a 22-month run that concluded in July 2023. Reflecting on the tour's end, he wrote on Instagram, "To everyone who came out to see us play, thank you. I feel so incredibly full and happy, it's all because of you." He added, "It's been an honor to play for you... Look after each other, I'll see you again when the time is right. Treat People With Kindness."
Pre-orders for the album are now live, offering vinyl, CD and box set editions. While Styles has yet to confirm any upcoming performances, rumors of a potential tour have continued to circulate following the announcement.
