Harry Styles has revealed 'Aperture' as the lead single from his upcoming fourth solo album, 'Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally'. The track is set for release on January 23, 2026, ahead of the full album's drop on March 6. Fans have been piecing together clues from teasers and promotional materials leading up to the announcement.
On January 20, 2026, Harry Styles announced his highly anticipated fourth solo album, 'Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally', with 'Aperture' serving as the opening single. The former One Direction member shared the news after nearly four years without new music, following teasers that included a cryptic voice note of him singing 'we belong together'.
The single will drop on Friday, January 23, at midnight in the UK, which translates to 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, January 22, in the United States. This release gives fans an early taste of the album, scheduled for March 6.
'Aperture' draws its name from the adjustable opening in a camera lens that regulates light intake, akin to how pupils dilate or contract in varying light conditions. This theme aligns with promotional hints, such as posters featuring the phrase 'let the light in' spotted worldwide before the album's reveal. Fans interacting with the HSHQ WhatsApp channel by texting 'let the light in' receive a camera emoji in response. Additional clues appeared in phrases like 'SEE YOU VERY SOON', 'LET THE LIGHT IN', and 'IT’S ALL WAITING THERE'.
The album's cover artwork, designed by Braúlio Amado, resembles a digital camera, with the image as the screen and lettering as buttons. One fan noted: "Harry Styles is so creative. I can’t get over how the album cover is a digital camera. The picture is the screen and the letters are the buttons."
This announcement builds excitement for Styles' return, following his last solo project and amid rumors of a 2026 Madison Square Garden residency.
