Harry Styles once again shook his fans around the world with a strategy that was as discreet as it was effective. Without traditional announcements or initial official communications, the British singer ignited social networks after sending a mysterious voice note and the appearance of cryptic messages in different cities, signs that finally led to the confirmation of his musical return with a new album.
It all started when fans in different countries spotted posters and billboards with the phrase “We belong together”, placed in cities such as New York, Berlin and São Paulo. The images showed a group of fans during her last world tour, Love On Tour, which ended in 2023. The same message also appeared on the website WeBelongTogether.co, a page where fans could register with their phone number to receive exclusive information.

British singer Harry Styles announced Thursday the release of his fourth studio album, his first in four years, which will be titled ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally’ (Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally) and will be released on March 6.
The 31-year-old artist made it public by revealing the release date and the album cover image, which features Styles in a corner, donning sunglasses, over a dark landscape and a disco ball held in the air.
The album, produced by Kid Harpoon, contains 12 tracks and is now available for pre-sale on his website and in other stores starting this Friday, his record label, Sony Music, said in a statement.
Rumors that became true
Rumors of Styles’ return to music had increased in recent days, after several British cities and the rest of the world dawned this week with enigmatic posters that read: “We Belong Together” (We Belong Together).
A phrase with which he had closed a video posted on his YouTube channel on December 27, titled ‘Forever, forever’, about his last concert in Italy.
Following the announcement, the former One Direction member has changed his Instagram profile picture, which shows him wearing orange sunglasses and decked out in a yellow sweater over a polka dot shirt and red tie.
Styles’ solo career took off after leaving British ‘boyband’ One Direction in 2016 and, a year later, he debuted his eponymous album, ‘Harry Styles’, then followed up in 2019 with ‘Fine Line’ and, finally, with ‘Harry’s House’ (2022).
This latest album earned him numerous global accolades, including three Grammy Awards, including Best Album of the Year, an award he also won at the Brit Awards.
