Four years ago, former One Direction member and pop star Harry Styles rocked every Northern Valley girl’s world after selling out 15 consecutive nights of his Love on Tour residency at Madison Square Garden. Now, after taking a break from the spotlight, Styles is ready to return with his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, as well as his Together, Together tour. Starting with the release of his latest single, Aperture, fans could not have missed Styles in action, and his return could not be more perfect.
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally will be entirely released on March 6, 2026, and feature a total of 12 tracks, including its single, which was released on January 22. During the last few years, Styles has traveled all around the world and is now channeling his new experiences in the album. His main inspiration explores the themes of growth and self-discovery, while he incorporates house and EDM into his signature sound.
On Friday, March 6, Styles is planning on performing his One Night Only concert in Manchester, UK at the Co-op Live Arena to celebrate his fourth album. He will perform all of the songs on the new album for the first and only time, so this is a very special night for his fans. However, it will be recorded and released to stream as a Netflix special starting Sunday, March 8, making it a great opportunity for all fans to experience a Styles concert from the comfort of their own home without having to worry about wild ticket prices.
English teacher Marissa Daly shared how excited she is about the album and her opinion on the new era of music. Daly and her sister have been fans since middle school, and she’s looking forward to Styles “expanding on his sound and aiming more towards house music.” She is looking forward to seeing him on tour and seeing how much his music has changed from the beginning of his career.
Harry has been doing popular promo for this album and taking part in many interviews, specifically Brittany Broski’s Royal Court and a Zane Lowe interview on Apple Music. In the Zane Lowe interview, Styles spoke about the complexities of public grief following Liam Payne’s death, explaining his personal struggle with the loss of a loved friend. He also talked about his love for touring and continuing to travel while living his life to the absolute fullest.
One of the notable changes in his travel, particularly with this album, is that he will significantly change his touring habits. Styles’ previous tour – Love on Tour – had seven legs and spanned a total of 22 months. With this new album’s tour, Styles hits seven major cities around the world in just a seven month period – including a stop in New York City where he will hold a residency at Madison Square Garden for a total of 30 nights.
The tour, which will kick off on May 16 in Amsterdam and wrap up on December 13 in Sydney, has received a great amount of backlash on social media because of the expensive resale values, with Daly even admitting that the prices are “crazy.” Pit tickets can reach up to $1000 per ticket on Stubhub.
Besides the tour’s controversy, Styles’s experimentation with new genres in this upcoming album is an exciting moment for many, including students here at NVOT. “I really enjoy this new era of music because I love house and EDM music and I’m excited to see what other kinds of songs he made in this genre,” said senior Jossia Aras. Her favorite thing about Harry Styles is how “he sets himself apart from others by being unique with his music, style, and personality.”
Sophomore Milania Badolati, another Harry Styles and One Direction fan, said she also loves “how authentic he seems and how he keeps his music evolving. It sounds different every era.” Senior Beyla Schweizer says that Styles is a very talented singer and also has “been to many of his concerts and is obsessed with his new single.” She cannot wait to hear the rest of the album.
Harry Styles’ new return to the spotlight will mark a notable moment in both his own career and the lives of his fans at NVOT. Anyone can stream and download on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc., so now that the album is officially released, make sure to kick off the weekend in a fun way by listening to his newest songs (we know we will!).
