After a long, tantalizing silence, Harry Styles is officially back in the spotlight, sending his fans into a frenzy with the announcement of his fourth solo album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. The new record, set for release on March 6, 2026, marks Styles’ much-anticipated return to music after a four-year gap since his Grammy-winning album Harry’s House. The news came after weeks of cryptic teasers and mysterious billboards, a promotional strategy that’s become something of a signature for the British pop icon.
According to BBC, the build-up began in late December 2025 when Styles dropped an eight-minute instrumental track, “Forever, Forever,” filmed at the final night of his 2023 world tour. The video’s closing shot flashed the phrase “we belong together” over a sea of dancing fans—a message that soon began popping up on billboards in major cities worldwide. Some read, “See you very soon” (New York), “Here we go again” (Manchester), and “A gente se vê em breve” (São Paulo), each stoking rumors and speculation across social media.
On January 12, 2026, the intrigue deepened when the cryptic website webelongtogether.co went live, featuring a clip from the “Forever, Forever” video. Fans who signed up for updates were rewarded with a brief voice note—reportedly from Styles himself—singing the words “we belong together” a cappella. As The Guardian reported, the campaign reached a fever pitch just days later when Styles posted the album’s artwork online: a whimsical image of the 31-year-old pop star wearing sunglasses and ducking beneath a disco ball in an open field.
With the official announcement on January 15, fans learned that Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. would contain 12 tracks and be released via Columbia Records. The album was produced by Kid Harpoon, Styles’ longtime collaborator who also co-wrote and produced 2022’s Harry’s House. That previous album was a critical and commercial juggernaut, selling more than four million copies worldwide, winning Album of the Year at both the 2023 Grammys and Brit Awards, and spawning hits like “As It Was,” “Daylight,” and “Late Night Talking.”
Pre-orders for the new album began immediately, with fans snapping up vinyl, CD editions, and a limited-edition film camera box set. Styles’ web store even briefly crashed under the demand, according to The Guardian. Yet, as of mid-January, Styles has not shared any new music from the LP beyond the brief voice note and the “Forever, Forever” instrumental. The album’s full track list remains under wraps, keeping anticipation sky-high.
Styles’ return to the stage is also on the horizon. As reported by Page Six, he’s landed a second Madison Square Garden residency, following his historic 15-night, sold-out run at the venue in 2022 during the “Love On Tour” series. Rumors are also swirling about a residency at Manchester’s Co-op Live, a venue in which Styles is an investor, and even a possible headlining slot at Glastonbury 2027. If true, these engagements would mark the end of a three-year hiatus from performing—a break that began after his epic 22-month, 179-date world tour concluded in July 2023 at Italy’s RCF Arena before more than 100,000 fans.
Between albums, Styles has kept a relatively low public profile, though glimpses of his eclectic life have surfaced. He was spotted in Vatican City in May 2025 for the announcement of the new pope, Leo XIV, and ran a sub-three-hour marathon in Berlin that September, clocking in at two hours and 59 minutes. Earlier that year, he finished the Tokyo marathon in three hours and 24 minutes. Styles’ lifestyle brand Pleasing also made headlines, expanding its offerings to include a sex toy and lube, alongside apparel and beauty products.
But not all recent news has been celebratory. In October 2024, Styles’ former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne died at age 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Styles paid tribute online, stating, “Liam’s greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it,” as noted by The Guardian. The loss was felt deeply by Styles and the wider One Direction community, a poignant reminder of the band’s enduring legacy since their formation on The X Factor in 2010.
Looking back, Styles’ journey from boyband sensation to solo superstar has been nothing short of remarkable. As BBC recounted, One Direction’s meteoric rise was fueled by an early internet fandom, with Styles quickly emerging as the group’s breakout star. After the band went on hiatus in 2016, he took his time launching a solo career, eventually finding his stride with the critically acclaimed Fine Line and the chart-topping Harry’s House. His solo work has been praised for blending 1970s soft rock with 80s new wave hooks, all while maintaining a sense of playful experimentation.
Styles has also used his influence for good, backing Ed Sheeran’s campaign for increased government funding for music education—investing in schools, supporting training for music teachers, and advocating for grassroots venues and a diverse curriculum. His acting career, meanwhile, has seen him star in films like My Policeman and Don’t Worry Darling, though he currently has no publicized movie roles on the horizon.
On the personal front, Styles’ relationship with actress Zoë Kravitz has continued to attract attention. The pair were first linked in August 2025, spotted strolling together in Rome, and have appeared inseparable ever since.
As the release date for Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. approaches, fans and industry observers alike are eager to see what musical surprises Styles has in store. Will the album’s disco theme signal a new sonic direction? Will his penchant for cryptic clues and theatricality continue to shape the pop landscape? One thing’s certain: after 1,336 days, the wait is finally over, and Harry Styles is ready to take center stage once again.
Styles’ unique blend of showmanship, musical craftsmanship, and heartfelt connection with his audience has made him one of the defining pop stars of his generation. As March 6 draws near, anticipation is only set to grow, promising another unforgettable chapter in the ever-evolving story of Harry Styles.
