Harry Styles has once again graced our airwaves with his presence.

‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.’ Is sexy, vulnerable, and everything in between.

Having had the pleasure of being pulled into his orbit many moons ago, there’s a sense of pride that comes when I get to speak about Harry Styles and his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Now, maybe that’s parasocial of me, or maybe that’s just being a fan; either way, the feeling remains. 

Something I truly admire about Styles is his ability to create multiple albums, each vastly different sonically, yet still have them be recognizable as his own. Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. bears an entirely unique energy, but it feels as though it exists at exactly the right time in his life, feeling wholly honest to who he is in this moment, and the fans seem more than ready to meet Styles right where he’s at. 

He’s created something quite special that seems to live beyond the constraints of time. For fans, all roads lead to Harry Styles. 

While I could give you think pieces on all twelve songs on this record, I’ve taken the liberty of narrowing my thoughts down to just four tracks:

“Taste Back”

Track 5 brings up feelings and questions we’ve all experienced firsthand. To me, it’s the return of an old lover; it’s familiarity. Styles seems to wrestle with whether this reunion is reconciliation, or if this person is lonely and chasing comfort in the love he offers. 

“Coming Up Roses”

The only song on the album Styles is the sole lyricist on, “Coming Up Roses,” ultimately feels like the quiet understanding that a relationship is coming to an end. When you want so badly for things to work, but they just don’t. There’s no fight, there’s nothing to fix, you just don’t fit into each other’s lives anymore.

The instrumental still has this air of optimism to it; it sounds to me like Styles grasping onto any sense of normalcy left. 

Honestly, strings were the last thing I expected for this album, yet they make the most beautiful addition. 

“Pop”

The first word that came to mind with this one was “sexy”. And that’s exactly what it is. “Pop” is being utterly infatuated with someone, maybe someone you’re in the initial stages of a relationship with, when it’s fresh and all-consuming. Or, maybe it’s someone you know you shouldn’t be with, yet you physically can’t seem to keep away from; equally as all-consuming. I think that’s for the listener to decide; either way, it's fun. 

“Dance No More”

  Of course, I appreciate the nod to Simon & Garfunkel’s “Keep the Customer Satisfied,” but most of all, I’m impressed by how Styles manages to wrap up the entirety of what this album represents into three minutes and fifteen seconds. This track feels so free, so lively. I, for one, have danced around my apartment to this one a time or two already. It’s funky, even if you’re not one for dancing, I promise “Dance No More” will make you want to move.  I can only imagine the atmosphere when this song is played live. I cannot wait to dance with all my friends.
