Styles added, "I think it's the most free I've ever felt making music... "I think for me, it's definitely the most personal record I think I've made. "We could have rushed it to get it ready and it just felt like there's something special about it and I wanted to kind of take my time with it. And there was something about it that was kind of one of those," he said.

Harry Styles' 'Harry's House' Review — Pop's Most Likable Star ... (Daily Beast)

The third time's the charm for the former One Direction member, who veers into funk and soul territory on his excellent new album.

Harry’s House is Styles’ best album yet, and proof of his enduring relevance not just as a celebrity, but as an artist. Back in 2017, his first single from Harry Styles, “Sign of the Times,” came as something of a shock to those who were expecting the radio-friendly pop of his One Direction days. Going into Harry’s House, Styles appeared conscious of the critique that his music has occasionally suffered from being too referential. “Daylight,” the fifth track on Harry’s House, is a catchy, rollicking standout about an unrequited crush. When the album’s lead single, “As It Was,” dropped in April, it drew comparisons to A-Ha’s ’80s pop hit “Take On Me.” There’s plenty more of that, too, along with currents of classical jazz. If that’s true, then we are pleased to report that Harry Styles, the musician, is just as refreshing and palatable as Harry Styles, the celebrity.

Harry Styles' album 'Harry's House' leaked a month before its ... (Mashable)

Harry Styles' album 'Harry's House' leaked a month ahead of its release date and fans quickly divided into opposing camps. This sort of response is typical ...

It was a significant question, as I wondered if listening to the leak would sacrifice the experience of hearing the album and reacting to it in real time with my friends. Regardless of what you land on, that doesn't affect the fandom urge to moralize everything: "Why did being a fan of pop stars, become such an ethical debate in every single thing they do? While Otten didn't listen to the Harry's House leak, she did listen to the older leaked songs. Is being a fan a devotion to an artist’s success? What many fans seem to be ignoring is the nature of album promotion. Or is it about your own personal experience with the artist’s music and other fans? Depending on what pocket of the fandom you find yourself in, the presence of a leak has intense social repercussions — you might listen to the leak because all your mutuals online are doing the same, or you might avoid it like the plague as your algorithm fills with public shaming of those who do listen. He didn't want to give us the album until May 20, so I'm not going to take that away from him," explained Otten. Album leaks are par for the course in large fandoms, especially among the pop aficionados, from Taylor Swift to Charli XCX. But the response to the leak of Harry's House is a strange example of how a fandom, something that’s fundamentally a form of escapism and entertainment, is often fraught with community fabricated moral issues. Jess, a 24-year-old who works in advertising in Los Angeles who has chosen to remain anonymous out of fear of being blacklisted from Harry Styles events, felt no hesitation over listening to the leaked version of Harry's House. Jess has been involved in the online Taylor Swift and Harry Styles fandom since she was 13. I have to wait.' But at this point I have been a fan for so long. Like is typical of these fandom rifts, the Harry’s House leak probably won’t affect the millionaire pop star, as leaks have become a somewhat inevitable part of the modern album cycle.

The boy band released five successful albums before the band members went their separate ways.

We could have rushed it to get it ready and it just felt like there’s something special about it and I wanted to kind of take my time with it. And there was something about it that was kind of one of those. To that end, Styles called the LP his “most diverse” sounding, as it draws on many of his biggest influences.

Some fans camped out overnight to see Harry Styles perform in person on Today Thursday ahead of the release of his third studio album, Harry's House.

"I think that accepting living, being happy, hurting in the extremes, that is the most alive you can be," he said. "I thought it meant that you were broken," he explained. "And that is something that you can't really undo. "And I think having that is kind of priceless. "I think it's the most free I've ever felt making music. It's the most proud [I've felt] of anything I've made," Styles added.

5 Takeaways from Harry Styles' New Album, Harry's House (Pitchfork)

On his third LP, Styles explores domesticity, a lighter sound, and more songs about food.

There’s also the A-Ha jangle of “As It Was,” the hip-thrusting “Cinema,” and the ’80s slickness of “Daydreaming.” And contrary to its spiky title, “Little Freak” is all soft synths as Styles loses himself in the memory of a past relationship. “Cinema,” along with the broken camera on “Late Night Talking” could refer to Styles’ partner, actress and director Olivia Wilde, but his lips are sealed. “Keep Driving” catalogs a laid back L.A. lifestyle filled with edibles, swimming pools, and, confusingly “life hacks going viral in the bathroom.” The clearest successor to “ Watermelon Sugar”’s high-fructose sensuality is trumpet-heavy opener “Music for a Sushi Restaurant,” which sounds intentionally chintzy and louche as Styles scats. In between running Pleasing, a beauty brand that specializes in nail polishes, and promoting his upcoming film roles, Styles will take up residency at five venues across North America for a number of nights. Only one single was released in anticipation of the album, the synth pop Tiktok hit “ As It Was,” which boasts an ambitious video.

Stern, always the subtle interviewer, asked Styles point blank, “You fell in love on a movie set?” To which Styles said, “I had a wonderful experience being directed by Olivia.” Styles continued playing coy, adding, “Acting is kind of uncomfortable at times; you have to trust a lot. Stern asked Styles about one of his new songs, “Cinema,” which includes the line, “If you’re getting yourself wet for me, I guess you’re all mine.” Ha-ha, remember when Harry Styles thought he needed to clarify what “Watermelon Sugar” meant? Anyway, Stern tried, unsuccessfully, to get Styles to confirm whether the song is about Wilde. “When I write songs, they kind of start out just, I guess, mine,” Styles said.

Harry Styles proud to flash 'bum-bum' — but 'no peen' — in new movie (New York Post)

Harry Styles recently dished on the level of nudity that will be shown in his upcoming film "My Policeman." He'll show his "bum-bum," but "no peen."

“I was very intrigued by it,” the former One Direction member said of the movie, which stars Austin Butler in the hip-swiveling lead role of rock icon Elvis Presley. “I feel like if a director feels like I’m not the best person for the role, then it’s better for them and it’s better for me. “Harry is throwing himself into this new role and is really excited about the challenge, even though it’s a daunting task,” the Sun’s source added. In the new Stern interview, Styles also explained that, during shooting, he had to “wear a gas mask” to protect his breathing while makeup artists airbrushed his dozens of tattoos for the nude scenes.

Review: Harry Styles is fully at home in 'Harry's House' (ABC News)

If the 13 tracks of Harry Styles' third LP are the walls in which he lives, “Harry's House” is a place of self-expression, happiness and healing.

If the 13 tracks of Harry Styles’ third LP are the walls in which he lives, “Harry’s House” is a place of self-expression, happiness and healing. The use of guitar harmonics on the stripped-down track bring intimacy to a song that is both cutting and hopeful as he encourages her to move forward without the guilt of leaving behind those who hurt her. In opener “Music For a Sushi Restaurant,” Styles’ feelings are more straightforward as he shares his love for another.

Harry Styles: Perfect boyfriend, pop star on "Harry's House" (Los Angeles Times)

On 'Harry's House,' Styles is someone to confide in and drool over, as much a woke Gen Z thought leader as a vest-with-no-shirt heartthrob.

“Keep Driving,” which could pass for Vampire Weekend, recounts a road trip for two by stringing together a bunch of images including “passports in foot wells,” “riot America,” “cocaine” and “side boob.” Not sure what exactly it all adds up to, but that’s a vibe, no question. Styles stands for inclusion, respect and sensitivity, though none of that has come at the expense of the wriggly charm he spilled all over Coachella’s stage in a rainbow-sequined jumpsuit. If Styles’ production choices have moved him closer to the Top 40 mainstream — “As It Was” entered Billboard’s Hot 100 at No. 1 for his second chart-topper after “Watermelon Sugar” in 2020 — his lyrical approach has actually grown more idiosyncratic. And indeed, the rest of “Harry’s House,” due Friday, is filled with tender assurances of his emotional availability (not to mention his erotic ingenuity). “If I was a bluebird / I would fly to you,” he croons over a jaunty synth riff in “Daylight,” “You’d be the spoon / Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you.” “They take you for granted,” he sings, close harmonizing with himself like a one-man Crosby, Stills & Nash. They call only when they “don’t want to be alone.” Worst of all, he points out, they start “secretly drinking,” at which point it “gets hard to know” what they’re thinking.

“I’m going for comfort and I thought I could soak up some of the rain with this.” With style, specifically, an artist’s outfits can speak to the state of mind they were in while making the music—and the one a listener might be in, too, while listening to it. Performing on The Today Show in New York City this morning, Styles wore a custom bell-sleeved knit jumpsuit by JW Anderson—a riff on a one-shoulder mini dress from the designer’s 2022 resort collection, which didn’t not resemble a zebra-fronted package of Fruit Stripe gum.

Harry Styles: Harry's House (Pitchfork)

Harry Styles' third solo album sometimes lacks substance, but style always abounds.

Its sounds—which move through funk, folk, and 2010s Tumblr-pop—are friendly and familiar enough to satisfy passive listening, but deftly executed, with a surplus of style and whimsy that rewards a more active ear. The state of the boy brand is strong. When a teen idol becomes a rock star, he announces it with a Rolling Stone spread.

Harry Styles Moves Smoothly Into His Next Era With the Intimate ... (Variety)

Harry Styles' third solo album, 'Harry's House,' is very a much a continuation of its predecessor, 'Fine Line,' but more intimate.

Lyrically, it’s heavier and more serious in places — not surprising after everything that’s happened in the two and a half years since “Fine Line” dropped just before the pandemic. And at 28, no longer so young, he’s built himself an enviable solo career that “Harry’s House” goes a long way toward furthering. That ended up being 2019’s more defining and definitive “Fine Line” album, which could be considered his true debut, spawning massive singles like “Watermelon Sugar” and a blockbuster (if pandemic-delayed) tour that segues directly into “Harry’s House,” which is very much a continuation and progression of its predecessor.

“I guess you’re all mine / When you’re sleeping in this bed with me.” Ahem, and now we know how comfortable the primary bedroom is! You’ll find Styles’s girlfriend, Olivia Wilde, throughout Harry’s House, with some of the most clear references to their relationship on “Cinema”: “I guess we’re in time / If you’re getting yourself wet for me,” he sings. Like a good host, Styles also has plenty of food to offer throughout Harry’s House, from a nice 1982 red on “Grapejuice” to a full breakfast spread of coffee, pancakes, maple syrup, hash browns, and eggs on “Keep Driving.” Why yes, we are staying the night, thanks for offering!

After months of hype, Styles' third solo studio album is finally here.

The release of Harry’s House punctuates a busy period for Styles, who continues to occasionally bulk out his acting career in addition to being one of the most successful musicians on the planet. (Let’s do a little music math: Even assuming every single one of those streams was done on Spotify’s free ad-supported tier—because those streams count a little less when you’re doing these calculations—the single alone has already scored more than 125,000 album-equivalent units, the industry’s accepted standard for the conversion of streams into album sales. The release of the 13-track Harry’s House comes a few weeks after the unleashing of its first single, “As It Was,” which has already accrued more than 472 million listens on Spotify alone.

Harry Styles Builds His Most Fun Full-Length on 'Harry's House': 7 ... (Billboard)

From Harry Styles' huge new lead single to an affecting acoustic ballad, check out our picks for the most indispensable 'Harry's House' moments.

Within the acoustic ballad, Styles listens to the story without inserting himself into it, and encourages as best as he can; that type of restraint works in the song’s favor, and “Matilda” creates emotional power with its gentle touch. Following the languid, sensual “Grapejuice,” “As It Was” arrives as a jolt of live-band vibrancy on the album, its mashed drums and kinetic bridge packing an even harder wallop. Weeks after its release and with multiple frames atop the Hot 100 under its belt, “As It Was” gains steam within the tracklist of Harry’s House, where it punctuates the rollicking first third of the album. The ghostly harmonies and finger-picked guitar lick capture that loss, and the track turns inward and evaporates in order to end Harry’s House on a note of graceful longing. If “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” is knowingly messy, Styles also understands the potential of a good freakout, as this track is guaranteed to slay when Styles plays it in concert. The fact that “As It Was,” the lead single from third solo LP Harry’s House, has quickly become Styles’ biggest chart hit to date shouldn’t be a surprise: his full commercial potential has been unlocked, and now, everyone is demanding more of what he’s selling.
