Time To Rejoin Harry Styles On the Dancefloor: Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Is Here

Gabriella Morrone ‘28

After nearly four years on hiatus, Harry Styles is officially back with his new album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., which dropped on March 6. As a fan, I stayed up until midnight to hear it the moment it was released, and it was absolutely worth it. This album feels different from anything Styles has released before. It's highly versatile, yet every song fits together perfectly.

One of the first things I noticed was how danceable and feel-good the album is. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to move, even if you're alone in your room. At the same time, it still has meaningful lyrics. For example, in “Paint by Numbers,” Styles reflects on recognition and identity in a way that feels honest and raw. This emotional depth appears throughout the entire album.

My favorite track on the album is “Coming Up Roses,” which I would consider one of Styles’ strongest songs to date. The songwriting is thoughtful, and midway through the song, a beautiful orchestral section with violins and basses adds depth. I also enjoyed “Dance No More” for its upbeat energy, and “Pop,” which is especially catchy.

“American Girls” also stood out, with its nostalgic vibe that reminded me of One Direction. While the track feels familiar, it continues to bring a fresh sense of energy.

Overall, this album feels like a significant step for Styles. It is experimental and highlights his growth as an artist. These songs will definitely translate well to live performances. I am especially excited to hear them performed live.
