With gratitude to Benson Boone for keeping the seat warm these past few years, Harry Styles appears to be ready to reclaim his rightful place as crown prince of the pop girlies (who also happens to dance like a car dealership blowup guy who has been freed of tethers for flip mobility purposes, which, to be clear, is a positive thing). Styles announced the title, cover art, and release date of his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, on Thursday via an Instagram post.
The album, his first since 2022’s Harry’s House, will be released on March 6. The cover art he shared features Styles with a cropped haircut putting on sunglasses in the lower left corner, while at the center of the image, a disco ball hangs from the heavens, illuminating a dusky outdoor vista.
According to Rolling Stone, the album will have 12 tracks, and is produced by Kid Harpoon. According to one reddit commentor, it is a “Lana del Rey ass title.”
The new album announcement comes hot on the heels of Monday’s reveal that Styles has booked a second Madison Square Garden residency, though details such as timing and number of shows have not yet been announced. In late summer 2022, Styles played 15 sold out concerts at the arena as part of his Love On Tour shows.
Most importantly of all, this Harry-ssance is another proof point in the working theory that time is a flat circle and that 2026 is, in fact, just 2016: The Sequel. Consider: In 2016, Styles was gearing up for a solo album (his first). 2026: New solo album coming. 2016: The year that his signature flowing mane of hair got the chop, to many fans’ dismay. 2026: That album photo has a breezy lil short ‘do, no? 2016: Styles was in Dunkirk. 2026: Real life has us teetering on the brink of civil and/or international warfare pretty much every day. 2016: Benny Boone turned 14. 2026: Thanks for keeping the throne warm, champ. We owe you one.
Representatives for Harry Styles did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
