On March 6, 2026, Harry Styles released his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Given a four-star rating by Rolling Stone magazine, this “delightfully strange, often lovely, and consistently fascinating album” is uniquely light, fun, and disco-esque, but also contains many deeper, emotional lyrics. Despite only having twelve tracks – similar to other Harry Styles albums – and a total runtime of 42 minutes, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. became an instant hit among Harry Styles superfans and casual listeners alike. As of April 2026, the track ‘Aperture’ has gained almost 200 million streams.
The Wyoming Seminary community is no exception to this craze; both avid Harry Styles listeners and those who do not listen to Harry Styles aside from his work with One Direction loved the album. Julie Rosengrant ‘29, who might just be the biggest Harry Styles fan at Wyoming Seminary, said that Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. is “a type of album that makes you want to get with friends and dance to the whole album – it’s so great and whimsical!” Julie’s favorite tracks were ‘Coming Up Roses’ and ‘The Waiting Game.’ Nancy Dahal ‘28, who is more of a casual listener, had a similar opinion, stating “Harry Styles really outdid himself with this album. I had not listened to his music for years, only cycling back in due to nostalgic old 1D songs, and the release of some new albums. This new album really brought back that old feeling I got listening to his music with a bolder and more experimental vibe! It’s a bit of a mixed bag with its variety of songs, but I’d still recommend it to anyone if asked!” Her favorite tracks from the album were ‘Taste Back’ and ‘Coming Up Roses.’
Personally, I have been a fan of Harry Styles since even before he released his debut solo album Harry Styles. Following his journey after One Direction, that album as well as Fine Line and Harry’s House shaped me into the person I am today. Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. was no different. Personally, I’m a sucker for electronic music, and this album blended all of these synth disco elements with the classic pop rock sound that is present in all of the British singer’s works, so I really enjoyed listening to it. My favorite tracks were ‘Dance No More,’ and ‘Pop.’ Overall, the album is definitely worth the listen!
