Former One Direction star Harry Styles has announced his first single in almost four years, titled Aperture, will be released on Friday.<\/p>\n
In a post on Instagram on Tuesday, the 31-year-old singer revealed the name of the first track from his upcoming album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.<\/p>\n
The star posted a photo of him smiling with his arms raised, in what appears to be a recording studio, and wrote: \u201cAperture. Jan 23, 00:00 UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
Styles also posted on his Instagram story, confirming that the word Aperture refers to a new single.<\/p>\n
An aperture controls how much light is allowed into a camera.<\/p>\n
Fans have flooded the comment section of his social media post with excitement because the singer\u2019s last release was in 2022, and he has kept a low profile since his Love On Tour run of gigs came to an end in 2023.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Styles announced on social media his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, which is due for release on March 6.<\/p>\n
The record, which has previous Styles collaborator Kid Harpoon as executive producer, is available to pre-order from the singer\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
One of the versions offered as a pre-order comes with a film camera, potentially referencing the title Aperture.<\/p>\n
Rumours of a new album began when posters were put up around cities including New York and Manchester bearing the phrase \u201cWe Belong Together\u201d.<\/p>\n
A website with the URL webelongtogether.co features a picture of Styles and others painting, as well as a cartoon clock with the word Kiss on almost every hour except 9 o\u2019clock, which is marked with the word Disco.<\/p>\n
Styles launched his solo career after he and fellow One Direction members Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson went on hiatus in 2016, almost a year after Zayn Malik left the group.<\/p>\n
The Worcestershire-born star released his self-titled debut solo album in 2017, followed by Fine Line in 2019, and Harry\u2019s House (2022), with the first and third releases reaching number one in the UK charts.<\/p>\n
Styles has also had two UK number one singles as a solo artist with As It Was and Sign Of The Times, and won multiple Grammy and Brit awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former One Direction star Harry Styles has announced his first single in almost four years, titled Aperture, will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381576,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,18142,128,144693,27402,56,54,55,74521],"class_list":["post-381575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-harry-styles","tag-music","tag-recording-studio","tag-release","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-upcoming-album"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
