Harry Styles‘ fans and new album belong together — and now, they finally are. On Friday (March 6), the long-awaited Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally finally dropped, allowing the pop star’s listeners onto the dance floor at last.

Preceded by Billboard Hot 100-topping lead single “Aperture,” the 12-track project catches fans up to speed on Styles’ mindset and growth over the past four years, with the star last dropping a full-length in 2022. That year’s Harry’s House debuted atop the Billboard 200, marking his third straight No. 1 on the chart since debuting as a soloist in 2017.


As Billboard‘s co-editor-in-chief Jason Lipshutz writes of the new LP, “Styles spends the first album he’s released in his 30s yearning for connection,” singing “about the one-night stands that spilled over, the ones that got away (and then circled back into his orbit) and the one kind of undying love that’s thus far eluded him.”

Included on the album are tracks “American Girls,” “Ready, Steady, Go!,” “Are You Listening Yet?,” “Taste Back,” “The Waiting Game,” “Season 2 Weight Loss,” “Coming p Roses,” “Pop,” “Dance No More,” “Paint by Numbers” and “Carla’s Song.” Collectively, they take the Grammy winner in a new sonic direction grounded by dance music, which he’ll take in full to the stage for the very first time on Friday night, performing a release show at the Co-op Live. That performance will be captured by Netflix cameras to stream as a concert special two days later, allowing all fans to take part in the concert.

Following the release of Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, Styles is planning to embark on a sprawling world tour made up of seven mini-residencies in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York City, Melbourne and Sydney. The trek will include 30 nights at Madison Square Garden and a record 12 in Wembley Stadium.

Courtney Love Clarifies Melissa Auf der Maur Gig Talk — ‘No Hole Reunion’

After seeming to tease a comeback by her entire group, Love said she and her former bassist will definitely play "some shows, new songs" together.

Rumors of a full Hole reunion are, apparently, slightly exaggerated. After Courtney Love appeared to tease news of getting her 1990s grunge pop band together for their first performance since a one-off gig in 2012 in a cryptic post on Tuesday (March 3), the frontwoman clarified things on Thursday (March 5).

Popping the speculative balloon, Love explained that the “Malibu” band that has been on hiatus since 2002 is not getting pulled out of mothballs after all, but that she is planning some shows with former bassist Melissa Auf der Maur. The update came in the form of Love commenting in a SPIN magazine Instagram post about the news, in which she wrote “no Hole reunion.”
