On Friday, March 6th, British artist, Harry Styles, made his long awaited return to the music industry with his fourth studio album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. His third studio album, Harry’s House came out in May of 2022, making it four years since he has made an impact on fans around the globe.
The album featured twelve new songs from Styles. The songs include many techno and funk beats, pairing accordingly with the album. Fan reactions came immediately to social media, with popular favorites being “American Girls,” “Taste Back,” and “Coming Up Roses” – “American Girls” coming with a music video in the early hours after the album’s release.
Since coming back into public light, Styles has already done many promotional interviews to gain momentum for the new album, including Brittany Broski’s Royal Court, where guests are put on a medieval set and asked rather humorous questions by Broski, and Apple Music representative Zane Lowe. Lowe sat with Styles to talk about the inspiration behind each song on the album and what he has been doing with his much deserved time off for the past four years.
With the release of the album came a concert film on Netflix. The film, One Night in Manchester, was filmed the night after the album was released. A few select fans were sent messages by Styles’ team to come join at the one time only concert with tickets coming in at a steady twenty dollars. Fans were each given plastic sealed bags to put their phones in so as to not have snippets of the concert be shared onto social media before the release of the film. For those who weren’t so lucky to be invited, they did not have to wait long to see the film. It was released to the public two days after the initial release of the album on March 8th.
“You know, every time we’ve come to put an album out, we’ve wanted to do one of these ‘one night only’ shows to celebrate. And that is for the very simple fact that when it all boils down to it, the only reason I get to make records at all is because of all of you [the fans]. And it is the correct and the place that I wanna be to celebrate the release of an album is with you. Thank you so much,” Harry Styles said to the crowd at the Manchester show.
As of now, the album has been out for less than a week and already making impacts on the charts and the fans. The album can be found on all streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Pandora, ect.
