Everyone is excited about Harry. Harry Styles, that is.
The former One Direction star is back with a hit, “Aperture,” the first track from his upcoming album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, set to release on March 6.
“Aperture” has surprised Styles’ fans, but in a positive way. Similar to “End of Summer,” the first song from Tame Impala’s latest album, Deadbeat, “Aperture” represents a shift from familiar sounds. It’s an energetic, electronic track.

In his first interview for this album cycle, Styles shared with BBC Radio 1’s breakfast host Greg James that the song was influenced by “classic pop songwriting,” mentioning LCD Soundsystem and English post-punk band The Durutti Column as inspirations.
“I saw [LCD Soundsystem] at a festival in Madrid, then saw them again at Brixton [Academy, London]. It was so joyous watching them be immersed in it,” he told James on Friday morning, Jan. 23. “The inspiration from watching [LCD Soundsystem] and realizing ‘that’s how I want to feel when I’m on stage,’ matched the music I was creating.”
Styles’ fans worldwide will get to hear “Aperture” and more when he embarks on his Together, Together tour, featuring 50 stops across seven cities: Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York, Melbourne, and Sydney.
Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off in May and includes 30 shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, which will be his only concerts in the United States, along with a six-night run at London’s Wembley Stadium.
