Harry Styles is back with his first solo single in over two years, As It Was. It's a synth-pop bop tinged with sadness, which indicates a tonal shift for ...
"As It Was" has already created a new lens for us to view the demi-god (literally, he’s a demi-god in the MCU now), so perhaps Harry’s House will show more of an earnest introspection from the star who famously keeps much to himself. "Sign of the Times", which led the self-titled Harry Styles and introduced us to a new solo star, was an anthemic and cathartic ballad that showed us the emotive private life of a star we had, until that point, only seen as one of five. So can we expect Harry’s House (which is taken from the Joni Mitchell song of the same name) to go full peace, love and rock’n’roll?
New Sounds: The pop star's new single sounds a bit like a solo project from one of the guys from The Strokes. We dig it.
Shooting him was bittersweet as it was one of the happiest days of my life, but on the second day of the shoot, my country Ukraine was invaded so you can imagine the insane emotions we had while shooting. Me and my team from Ukraine poured so much love into this video and you can see it on screen. And that’s high praise coming from us; “As It Was” is a feathery tune that floats and goads along a springtime carefree, lavender breeze, and it’ll be featured on Styles’ forthcoming third solo album, Harry’s House, set for release on May 20.
Many will pore over the gossipy, self-referential lyrics, but Styles's song is for everyone: an effervescent, high-tempo hit to have you clicking your ...
Styles’ sheer, objective gorgeousness is of course a big part of his pop star appeal, and elevates his entire endeavour further; watching the video, that sense of freedom is heightened by his very loveliness, a man who seems to move through life on a different track to the rest of us. Since then, splashy shoots for Vogue and Dazed and the launch of his beauty company Pleasing have positioned him as a post-metrosexual arbiter of contemporary manhood: muscular and tattooed but wearing women’s clothes, being fluid to soften old binaries. But he cruised on to a golden Pacific Coast Highway of pop with 2019’s exceptional Fine Line: focused and alert, even as the hazy musical surroundings changed around him.
Last week, Harry Styles teased an imminent return by posting his new album cover for Harry's House. The low-key visuals for his third solo record, ...
(The intro even includes his five-year-old goddaughter Ruby calling out: “Come on, Harry, we want to say goodnight to you!”) Thankfully, his playful new style groove is a perfect match, too. The release of the first song from the album, “As It Was”, shows Styles’s knack for putting a fresh twist on classic ’70s pieces looks set to continue. Filmed in and around a number of London landmarks—including the central hall of Camberwell’s South London Gallery and the brutalist gardens of the Barbican Centre—Styles and his stylist Harry Lambert showcase an array of charming, more laid-back looks that lose none of his signature eye for glitz and kaleidoscopic color.
The child in question, we've since learned, is Styles' 5-year-old goddaughter Ruby Winston, daughter of British filmmaker Ben Winston. Explore. Explore ...
The May 20-slated LP will have 13 tracks, more than either of his past two full-length projects. “It’s the voice of my goddaughter, she used to try and call me before bedtime every night and one time it didn’t ring or something so they sent me that,” he said. Harry Styles attends The BRIT Awards 2020 at The O2 Arena on February 18, 2020 in London, England.

"I think so many pop stars try and be something that they think other people want them to be," he said. Although it may sound like James Reynolds, the oldest daughter of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, who also appeared on Taylor Swift's 2017 track, "Gorgeous," Styles says that it wasn't her. "She used to try and call me before bedtime every night and one time it didn’t ring or something so they sent me that," he explained.

The British musician taps into late aughts and early 2010s indie-pop nostalgia with latest single, "As It Was"
“As It Was” begins with bright synths that capture the joy of those twinkly, danceable songs from the blogrock era. It’s not far-fetched for a man in his mid-twenties who grew up in England to have been a fan of the “Tumblr twee” era. Throughout the trajectory of his solo career, Harry Styles has usually opted for ‘70s-inspired sounds, with hints of David Bowie, Rolling Stones, and Fleetwood Mac. When he announced his third album Harry’s House, carrying the same name as Joni Mitchell’s song, it was expected that influence would also be prevalent on his third record.
I'll admit it: I'm a Harry Styles neophyte. Unlike my Vogue colleague Michelle Ruiz, a Styles expert (and style expert!) who depended upon the singer to ...
Is this meant to take place pre-pandemic, or are they just in Texas like me?Okay, this sparkly Arturo Obegero jumpsuit is giving Tyler McGillivary, and I love it.I don’t know who the woman Styles is dancing with is (apologies to the Harry hive if she’s a well-known member of his entourage), but I do know I want her corset top.Is anyone else getting slightly nauseous watching Harry spin on a moving platform?As a tattoo aficionado myself, I really appreciate his body art.Get it together, Emma.I love how much fun he seems to be having! Someone on Twitter speculated that the child speaking at the beginning of the song is Olivia Wilde’s kid, and there is literally no reason to believe this is true, but I’m embracing the conspiracy anyway because—like Marie Kondo—I love mess. This isn’t due to any dislike on my part—I can definitely agree that “Watermelon Sugar” is a bop—but I’m more of a plaintive-’90s-lesbian-chanteuse-music listener than a studious follower of what’s currently happening in pop.
Harry Styles' 'As It Was' finds him facing down gravity and impermanence and arriving at what comes next.
A performance is something that only exists through the relationships of the present; it exists only here and now… The singer’s silent encouragement echoes the sentiment of the final message shared from You Are Home just ahead of launching the official Harry’s House era: “Your world is waiting.” In the chorus, he sings: “In this world, it’s just us/ You know it’s not the same as it was.” How isolating must it feel to know that the only constant you can count on is inconsistency? In the Tanu Muino-directed music video for the single, which appeared as today’s offering from behind the enigmatic door, Styles finds himself quite literally chasing a release. The singer has been teasing the visual and conceptual landscape of the record through YouAreHome.co – the cryptic website that has been trickling out album easter eggs for the past two weeks. Try as he might, Harry Styles is no match for the perpetual motion of change.
Harry Styles is practically an open book and this latest interview proves it. Speaking to U.K. radio's Capital FM, the singer dove into his new music, ...
Harry also said of filming love scenes that he built a “trusting relationship” with his acting partners. He also joked that, “She was asking for a big fee” to use her voice. Childlike cuteness aside, it didn’t take long for Harry to switch to more adult topics — specifically, filming love scenes in movies.
Harry Styles' "As It Was" is here. In the music video, he can be seen frolicking around in a retro-infused jumpsuit from rising Spanish designer Arturo ...
In the video, he can be seen in some serious garb, including a scarlet overcoat from talented London-based designer Bianca Saunders, over which he wears a fuzzy Dries van Noten scarf. “His outfits throughout the '70s were always super-fitted and had clean graphic lines that accentuated the body in a way we hadn't really seen on men. With “As It Was”, Harry serves up more of what he's all about: great vocals, captivating visuals, and excellent clothes.
The pop star's first single from his new album Harry's House is a wistful bit of synth-pop.
“You know it’s not the same as it was,” he sings shruggingly, stating the obvious and declining to elaborate. If Styles’ last record was about having sex and feeling sad, “As It Was” seems to be about having sex, feeling sad, then getting over it. “Seems to be” is the best I can do, given the evasiveness of the lyrics—a frequent shortcoming in Styles’ songwriting.

"Performing has always been my favorite part of working in music, and I feel very lucky to get to do this for people who've been waiting to go to a festival for a couple of years," he said. "I'm really excited about it, and I think it's going to be the perfect, kind of, first moment for it." "And obviously, after everything that’s happened over the last two and half, three years, I think the sentiment of 'it’s not the same as it was' felt pretty perfect.”
