Harry Styles, the global pop star, released 'Aperture' on January 23, 2026, via Columbia Records and Erskine Records. This marks his first new song since the release of Harry's House in 2022, representing a significant 1,344-day absence from new music.
The single, clocking in at just over five minutes, introduces a sleek techno-disco framework with pulsating rhythms, layered synths, and a club-focused atmosphere. This direction contrasts with the organic warmth and soft-rock elements of his previous work, indicating a bold evolution in Styles' sound.
'Aperture' leads into Styles' fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., a 12-track project executive produced by his longtime collaborator Kid Harpoon. The album is scheduled for release on March 6, 2026.
Accompanying the single, Styles announced the Together, Together Tour, an ambitious run visiting seven cities. Highlights include an extended 30-night residency at New York's Madison Square Garden. Special guests on the tour—Robyn, Shania Twain, and Jamie xx—align with the electronic and dance-oriented vibe suggested by the new track.
Online reactions to 'Aperture' have been intense and divided. Many fans praise the risk-taking production and Styles' decision to avoid repetition from past albums. Others describe the shift as unexpected and jarring, coming after the pop leanings of Harry's House. The release has generated high engagement, fueling discussions about this new era in Styles' career.
