Harry Styles returns with first album in four years but critics are divided

  • Harry Styles is releasing his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time, Disco, Occasionally, on Friday, marking his first new music in four years.
  • The album has garnered mixed critical reception, with The Telegraph awarding it three out of five stars and likening its emotional depth to a perfume advert.
  • The Guardian also gave the record three stars, noting the listening experience is "nice all the time, good, occasionally", while the BBC praised it as "the funkiest existential crisis in pop".
  • The Independent has provided a more positive review, giving the album four out of five stars and describing it as "personal, bold and finally sounding like himself".
  • Styles will support the album with his "Together, Together" global tour starting in May, including 12 nights at Wembley Stadium and a streamed show from Manchester.
