Harry Styles doesn\u2019t care if you think he\u2019s cool. His string of recent public appearances leading up to the release of his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>which is out Friday, is proof.<\/p>\n Rather than project and maintain a carefully curated public image, Styles seems more concerned with earnestly navigating this next chapter of his career \u2014 and he couldn’t care less about what that looks like: He\u2019s rocking ballet flats, dancing his heart out and getting really into marathon running. I\u2019ve followed the \u201cAperture<\/a>\u201d singer through every phase of his solo music career and evolving public persona \u2014 from his early days as a deeply introspective singer-songwriter to his emergence as an over-the-top, theatrical pop performer \u2014 and this version hits different. It\u2019s Styles at his most relaxed and assured.<\/p>\n A new Styles era is here \u2014 and it feels like his most joyful yet. Here are five moments from his Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally <\/em>press run that stand out.<\/p>\n If there\u2019s one thing Styles is going to do, it\u2019s throw a series of disco-themed listening parties<\/a> in cities around the world to ring in his new musical era. A sweaty, vibrant night spent dancing and connecting with strangers as Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally <\/em>plays from start to finish? No notes.<\/p>\nThe joy of global dance parties<\/h2>\n
