Harry Styles- Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally (review)

Published by Mason Oldridge, 6 March 2026

Following on from the massively successful Harry’s House, arguably the world’s biggest pop star Harry Styles is back with a lengthy-titled fourth album.

The album opens with lead single Aperture, an ambient track that finally makes sense of the cryptic message “we belong together”. Ready, Steady, Go! introduces a slick bassline and distorted vocals before electronic sounds and dancey piano renders it completely unpredictable throughout. Easily the standout, it is a surefire choice to be the next single. Are You Listening Yet? is built upon a drum beat with marching drums on the chorus, whereas The Waiting Game is dreamy with its electronic soundbites and choral backing vocals. Coming Up Roses is a slower offering that incorporates strings, Pop is a fun, upbeat and energetic song and Dance No More is a funk-style track, reminiscent of Prince. Then, Paint by Numbers places acoustic guitar at the centre before Carla’s Song rounds off the tracklist.

The album could be described as playing-it-safe pop. However, Harry’s friendly and flamboyant personality, mixed with an already iron-clad fanbase, along with the strong and clean production of this record, almost guarantees another successful period on the horizon for this global superstar.
