Looks like everyone is going back to Harry's house on March 6, 2026. 

Grammy-award-winning global superstar Harry Styles has announced his fourth studio album, KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY. A 12-track record executive produced by longtime collaborator Kid Harpoon, the album will be released globally on 6 March 2026 – and, if the title is anything to go by, it promises a damn good time.   

Styles has made a career out of swerving expectation. From boyband alumnus to solo artist with genuine cultural heft, his post–One Direction arc has been defined by a willingness to shapeshift: rock romantic, pop provocateur, arena-filling showman with a fondness for feather boas and emotional sincerity in equal measure.

I still remember the buzz on hearing the first chords of Sign of the Times. Hold on – this is great! There's a reason the track placed 428 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

This fourth outing should see a further evolution in the Styles' sound – a record that hints at groove and glamour, but with a touch of ironic restraint. Disco, occasionally. Not obsessively. (Tell that to the fanbase.) 

KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY.

Kid Harpoon’s return as executive producer is telling. Their partnership has previously delivered music that balances polish with personality, the kind of songs that sound equally at home blasting out of festival speakers or bleeding quietly through headphones at 2am. (As It Was hits differently after midnight.) That duality – scale without sterility – has become a hallmark of Styles’ solo work, and expectations will be high.

While details beyond the title and release date remain under wraps, expect the announcement to send the internet spiralling in the coming days. Fonts will be analysed. Capital letters debated. The word “disco” interrogated like a suspect.

This, too, is part of the Harry Styles economy now – anticipation as performance art. It's not for nothing he's the closest thing we have to David Bowie in 2026. 

KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY.

What feels clear is that KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY. is unlikely to be a nostalgia exercise or a straightforward genre pivot. Styles has never been interested in pastiche for its own sake, nor revisiting former glories. Instead, he tends to borrow silhouettes, then tailor them to his own frame.

6 March 2026 suddenly feels a long way off. Pucker up – we'll see you on the dance floor.
