Harry Styles returns with his first single in nearly three years, announcing a new album and a global residency in a flurry of Instagram posts.
At a Glance
- New single “Aperture” drops on January 22 after a three-year pause.
- Upcoming album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. releases on March 6.
- A seven-city residency, Together, Together, kicks off in May with 50 stops.
The pop star’s return was marked by a casual Instagram post on January 22 featuring a Big Gulp and under-eye patches. He captioned the photo simply: “Aperture. Out Now. Video. 17:00 UK.” The track, described as an atmospheric dance love song, is the lead single from the forthcoming album.
New Single “Aperture” Breaks 3-Year Silence
“It’s best you know, what you don’t, Aperture lets the light in,” Harry Styles sings, referencing a camera’s aperture that controls image brightness and depth of field. The song’s chorus, “We belong together, it finally appears it’s only love,” is set over a bouncing electronic beat produced by Kid Harpoon, who also co-produced Styles’ 2022 hit “As It Was.” Styles adds, “I won’t stray from it, I don’t know these spaces, time won’t wait on me, I wanna know what safe is,” in a quicker bridge that builds a sense of freedom and healing through dance.
The track’s beat is understated compared with the synth-pop bombast of his 2022 album Harry’s House, marking a new lyrical direction. “Aperture” is the first single since 2023’s “Satellite.”
Album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Set for March 6
Styles announced the album on January 15. The 12-track project, executive produced by long-time collaborator Kid Harpoon, follows Harry’s House and will be released on March 6. The album follows a period of critical acclaim; after Harry’s House earned Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the 2023 Grammy Awards, fans expect a polished continuation of his sound.
