Harry Styles – “Aperture”

Harry Styles is kicking off 2026 strong. The pop star announced his fourth album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally last week, and earlier today he announced a 30-show Madison Square Garden residency. Now, the lead single "Aperture" is here.

Some fans in New York got to hear "Aperture" early at a listening party at Manhattan's Rough Trade yesterday. People cried. Some (according to Rolling Stone) compared it to Lorde's "Ribs," Billie Eilish's "Chihiro," and Styles' own "Music For A Sushi Restaurant." The track was co-written with and produced by his frequent collaborator Kid Harpoon. Ellie Rowsell of Wolf Alice, who toured with Styles in 2022, is credited with background vocals. Watch the video directed by Aube Perrie below.
