Today on In The Mix, we’re going to be talking about the new Harry Styles album, Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally.

After his last album, Harry’s House, in 2022, fans waited for this new album quite impatiently, anxiously awaiting Harry Styles 4 at midnight.

After a little over a week out now, how do we feel about it?

Oh my gosh, I actually love it a lot.

Me too!

I thought it was so good.

It was really good.

It felt so good to finally have him back.

Yes, oh my gosh, yes.

He’s like a comforting relief to me, you know, and then for, like, so long, I just remember, like, constantly saying, like, I miss Harry Styles, I miss Harry Styles, you know.

I would say it so often, like, my family was getting annoyed, but, I mean, who doesn’t miss Harry Styles, you know?

Right, right.

And then he released that Forever Forever YouTube video, with the little clip of the song, I had no words.

We just knew.

Exactly, it was so good, it felt so welcoming to have him back, you know, it was like, oh, he misses us just as much as we missed him, you know.

And I thought that was so cool that he, like, announced it, or not, kind of, like, gave us, like, a little warm-up, you know.

Yeah.

And then, like, it blended so well into his new stuff, right, like, with the new album, and, like, announcing a tour and whatnot, which I thought was…

Tour not in the USA, though.

Not in the U.S., I don’t know why.

What are we gonna do about that?

I don’t know why, I know, I, like, how am I supposed to see him?

Right, what was the point of that, Harry?

Exactly, exactly, only having, I think, residency shows like that, it’s a little hard, because it’s like, okay, like, I understand, but not, like, you have to, like, travel to go see them and everything.

It’s like, I would, for Harry Styles, I 100% would go to New York for Harry Styles, but it’s like, oh, man, that’s kind of a bummer, but…

It is a bummer.

Yeah, but I think, like, that whole album was just so perfect, for a while, it, like, I didn’t really know what to expect, I didn’t know if we were gonna get something new with, like, you know, like, a completely new sound, but it kind of still had, like, that same Harry Styles feeling, just with, like, a little more pop, you know, a little more…

A little more disco.

Well, exactly, exactly, which is why, like, when I read the title, I was like, oh, that’s a long title, but then, like, that is exactly what this album is, you know, it’s Harry Styles with a little disco, disco occasionally, and that’s, like, I don’t know what I was expecting, for a while, I don’t think I was expecting that, but that’s exactly what it was, it was perfect, you know, and I think Aperture captured that perfectly.

Yes, I was just gonna say that.

I think that sometimes, like, the single doesn’t really correlate well with, like, the rest of the album, sometimes I know that artists do that, and it’s like, oh, that doesn’t, that one wasn’t really, like, the epitome of the album, you know, but I feel like Aperture, it was, you know, and it was a good, like, welcome back into Harry, here’s, like, a little sample of what we’re doing, you know, and I do think that it was one of the most different ones off of the album.

For sure.

Which I think kind of, like, made a little sense for it to be the single.

Yeah, when the single came out, I was literally thinking that, I was like, Harry, is this gonna be, like, your bop of the album, like, is this not gonna be what the album is, because all of his other albums are so different.

Yeah.

And I was just like, Harry, what are we doing, but then once the whole album came out, I was like, oh, that makes sense.

Yeah, this makes sense.

Exactly.

Yeah, it felt like a good cohesive rap of the entire album with, like, the some slower ones, with the some more pop ones, you know, and I think he captured that very well with the single, yeah.

But also, he’s charting, so he, this is his third, I know, third album to go number one in the UK.

He’s just that guy.

He’s just that guy, he’s just that guy, but, I mean, how can it not, when you look at, like, his other albums, like, Harry’s House, wow.

That was amazing.

I feel like this album, specifically, the lyrics feel more like his, like, debut album, more fine line, but then the actual sound of it sounds like, like, it would, like, be almost like a deluxe version of Harry’s House, which I think is so good, because it still keeps that same Harry Styles sound, but with those meaningful lyrics that we have.

Yeah, definitely.

That was great.

And some of my personal favourites on this one were Coming of Roses, I love that one, I heard the, I think they played it at, like, some concert, like, it wasn’t, like, a Fred again concert, I think, since then, since then I was, like, this is, this one’s gotta be my favourite, and it’s, it stayed, it’s so good, but, I mean, Season 2, Weight Loss, also, these titles, I know, I’m just, like, yeah, you know, exactly, I was, I was so confused, because I was, like, what do you mean Season 2 Weight Loss?

What is that, what is that gonna entail, you know, but, I mean, I don’t even, no, like, I’m still trying to figure out, even though we’re, like, barely a week in, I’m still trying to, like, figure out, okay, how does, like, how does this correlate, you know, because it’s, like, what do you, yeah, exactly, I feel like his, the only album that’s, like, oh, I know it’s about that person, was Fine Line, because it, her voice was in the song, so, every single song was about her, so it’s, like, oh, this is what Harry’s talking about, but, what is he talking about, exactly, the others have been, like, so up for interpretation, which I kind of, I kind of really like that he does that, because then you can kind of tie it to something yourself, it doesn’t have, like, a specific meaning that you have to think of, you know, which, I mean, not all songs do, but, like, sometimes when you know, like, the backstory of them, it’s, like, oh, that’s what that one’s about, exactly, exactly, but I thought it was, it’s interesting, these titles, like, American Girls, without even hearing it, without anything, just seeing it, it was, like, oh, like, that’s so, so fun, and then it’s, like, oh, oh, it’s super fun, exactly, yeah, and I think a lot of them, like, Dance No More, that one is perfect for that one, it’s, it’s exactly what it is, right, like, he’s got the lyrics right into it, but I think my other favorite is, are you listening yet, that’s my top favorite, it’s so good, it’s so good, it was so good, I listened to it once, and I was, like, I’m gonna put this on repeat, and again, and again, and again, and I was showing my friend, actually, yesterday, because I was, like, have you listened to the Harry Potter, she’s, like, not all the way, and I was, like, we have to listen to this song, that was the first song I played, and she was, like, oh, yeah, this is good, I was, like, girl, of course it’s good, duh, of course, yeah, but, yeah, that one is so good, I know, it’s, yeah, but, yet again, they all are, yeah, and that’s the thing, is that, like, while some of them, like, Taste Back, you know, or, like, The Waiting Game are a little bit more slower, a little bit more mellow, they’re still, like, like, the lyrics still hold that meaningfulness that I feel, like, we get from, like, something like Fineline, you know, where all of them were, like, oh, my gosh, so emotional, you know, and that’s kind of what we get, honestly, when I, like, Taste Back, The Waiting Game, Season 2, Weight Loss, and Coming Up Roses, that was just, like, punch, punch, every time I heard it, I was, like, oh, my gosh, oh, the next one, but, like, that’s so good, it’s so good, and I kind of like that, like, I felt, like, the way that he formatted this album was very similar to Harry’s House in the way that you had some pop ones, you know, and then you had, like, the slow, like, meaningful, deep ones, and then you had some more pop ones at the end, you know, and I thought that was, like, like, a little nice tieback, you know, a little drawback, which, I, in my opinion, sometimes I like listening to albums, like, fully through, just straight, like, up to down, and I think, like, in this case, like, if you’re a person that likes listening to it like that, it’s perfect, it just flows so evenly, all the transitions, you know, I thought they were, they were great, like, specifically, I really liked the transition from Ready, Steady, Go to Are You Listening, yes, smooth, so smooth, so perfect, yep, I thought it was fantastic, I, yeah, I love it, I think, also, oh, my gosh, pop, pop is fun, pop is fun, it is, it is, pop makes me want to pop, mm-hmm, exactly, literally, yep, yep, and, like, I feel like that’s the entire point of, like, some of these songs, is that he wants you to dance, he wants you to have fun, you know, and, like, based off of all the promotion that I had seen, like, on Instagram, where they were doing, like, the listening parties, like, I was expecting, like, a dance album, you know, or something, like, more electrifying, that’s exactly what this is, which is kind of crazy, because, I mean, like I had said earlier, I didn’t really, I didn’t really know what to expect, I had missed Harry so much, but I didn’t know what he was gonna give us when he came back, and I’m glad it was this, me too, yeah, it was, like, comforting to see him come back in, like, a bang, you know, come back, because we had seen crumbs of him, like, oh, he’s marathoning, or, like, oh, he’s in New York, you know, but this was, like, this was steady, this was steady, yeah, I also, what were your favorites, by the way, my favorite, yeah, are you listening, yeah, I like pop, I like his pop music, because, I don’t know, it’s just so fun, like, every time, every album, pop music, his pop music is really fun, um, I liked ready, steady, go, too, oh, yes, that was so good, my niece is already singing it with me, oh, that’s so cute, yes, exactly, that’s so cute, yeah, it’s a good album, I like, um, I like Karlo’s song, Karlo’s song, I felt like that was such a good way to end off the album, too, because it’s, like, yes, like, this is, like, a rap, and, like, you listen to the lyrics, and it almost feels, like, like, meaningful, you know, like, a, like, a good one to, a good one, like, almost for the fans, a little bit, I hate to say it, but it’s, like, that was, that was for us, you know, and, I don’t know, I thought it was a great way, with paint by numbers, you know, and then Karlo’s song, I, I think that the slower ones, kind of, ended it all, like, wrapped it up with the bow, nice, nice and cute, so, I thought that was fantastic, and I also like how, like, his, he gets to the point so, like, fast, like, his songs are, like, three minutes most, yeah, and it’s, like, wait, this is so good, like, it feels like it’s going on for eternity, exactly, these songs, they’re, like, so quick, and it’s just, like, I know exactly what you’re trying to say, yeah, and the album is only, like, 42 minutes, yeah, that’s, like, relatively short, yeah, I don’t know, exactly, like, what, for, like, for a pop album, that’s pretty short, I know, like, sometimes rap albums are a little bit shorter like that, too, but, like, for a pop album, like, what do you mean it’s not an hour 30, exactly, he’s fully expecting it to be longer, and, like, but, honestly, I wasn’t even expecting it to be longer, because, like, that’s, that’s kind of what he does, he kind of just gives us a little, little something good, you know, definitely, and that still doesn’t mean that there’s not a lot, there’s 12 songs, right, you know, they’re just, they’re just on the little shorter side, but I think, which is fine, yeah, exactly, but what he does give us, it’s amazing, it is amazing, he, I, I genuinely do think that he’s bringing back disco, he showed us that he can, he showed us that he can, exactly, so I think it’s a possibility, yeah, Dance No More, oh, my gosh, the disco, that was all I felt with that song, it was like a disco, you know, yeah, he delivered, and one of these songs, I can’t remember, when I was initially listening to it, I was, like, this feels like a One Direction song, I was, like, oh, my gosh, I can’t, yeah, exactly, I wonder if she brings back songs, right, so many emotions, yes, exactly, and so that’s why I’m, like, oh, I kind of love that you’re, like, drawing back a little bit into it, you know, because it’s, like, yes, like, remember your roots, yeah, you don’t want to forget, like, some other people, One Direction, not going to say who, you’re not going to name names, but, yeah, I’m glad he likes to hold on to it, and he appreciates it, yes, obviously, because it brought him so far, like, starting with One Direction, and then his solo career, and then, yeah, and now this, and now he’s charting, and everything, and he’s making moves, he’s making moves, but, yeah, I know that some of the more popular ones, obviously, have been, like, American Girls, yeah, I thought that one, like, as soon as I heard it, I knew that that was going to be a, one of the top ones, how could it not, though, like, obviously, he has such a big American fan base, too, yes, and so, with that said, like, having one named after the American Girls, like, come on, we deserve it, we deserve it, even though he, even though he hated on this one, exactly, even though we didn’t get a tour, if he dissed us on the last one, it’s okay, right, we get it, all apologies taken, right, right, I thought that was good, but also, like, even with the more, like, pop ones, I still think that, like, the slower, I know that you said you liked the pop ones, and I think he nails a good pop song, I mean, like, think about, what’s it called, oh my goodness, Off of Harry’s House, the single, I’m blanking, yep, completely blanking on it, but his, oh my goodness, what is it called, whichever one, a lot of the pop songs on there, they were really good, you know, and I think he knows how to make a really crisp pop song, you know, and he’s proven that through, like, Fine Line, like, literally with Watermelon Sugar, Golden, you know, and I don’t think he’s, like, I’m glad that he’s not shying away from other genres, you know, and, like, Reset and Bringing Back, okay, as it was, that’s the song that I was thinking of, yeah, like, they’re just, they’re good, like, pop songs, but he’s still venturing into, like, okay, I said I’m doing disco, and here’s a disco song, and then pulls up with pop, or Dance No More, you know, and then Aperture, oh my gosh, Aperture in itself was just, like, this is a pop song that everybody can dance to, and, like, whenever I see these, or listen to these songs, I see, like, the Instagram ones, or the Instagram pictures of the listening parties and everything, I’m like, yes, that’s exactly what this is, this is, like, something to dance to, to vibe to, you know, to, I feel like it’s perfect for summer right now, too, that’s coming up.

That is literally what I’ve been saying, I was like, this is so, like, I should be on the coast right now, windows down, hair in my face, with the, going, like, 65 on the freeway, listening, because you drive safely, listening to this album, like, that’s what this is giving, and I need that right now.

Exactly, and I think that the timing, that he, this timing, specifically, he’s giving us enough time for it to, like, okay, like, springtime, you know, like, settle in, you know, take in the, take in the vibe, you know, and then summer hits, and it’s like, go for it, you know, like, blast this at the beach, blast this at the pool, you know, like you said, going down the freeway, on the coast, it’s so, it’s so perfect, and I think that he, like, has nailed the timing-wise of, like, when to release, because I know that last time that he released, Harry’s House, that was also, like, in the beginning of the year, that was also, like- Yeah, he usually does release, like, close to the beginning.

Yeah, in the beginning of the year, which I think is so great, especially for, like, pop albums, because you’re able to, like, I feel like whenever you release the song earlier in a year, and then it goes through summer, it has the possibility to stay relevant, you know?

Yeah, definitely.

Like, I think about Brat Summer, Brat Summer stayed relevant for so long, because it had, like, a song of the summer, you know, and I, I want, I want Aperture to be the song of the summer, because it’s just so good.

It’s gonna be the song of the summer.

It’s gotta be, it’s gotta be, yeah.

So, I think he’s nailed the timing-wise perfectly, and I don’t know, I’m totally gonna be blasting this, but also, like, there are songs that, on this album, that are, like, oh, what do you mean, you’re killing me, like, Coming Up Roses, you know, or Seasons of Weight Loss, I keep bringing up Coming Up Roses, because I love it so much, like, when it came out, I remember, it came out, like, because they played it at a concert, I think he was at some concert, and then they, like, he gave them permission to play it or something, and I remember seeing it on TikTok, and I just listened to it over and over and over, it’s like, yes, this is so good, it, like, the, this, like, orchestra aspect of it, you know, with the strings and everything, making it feel so classy, it’s like, yes, that’s so, like, this is, it’s a good balance that he has throughout the album between the pop and the more soft ones, and, I mean, I’ve already mentioned his lyrics, I think it’s just, in my opinion, it feels like such a romantic song, and I know that, like, it’s supposed to not be, like, romantic, it’s supposed to, like, have, like, not, like, a situationship, but it just feels so romantic with the orchestra, it’s like, how can you not just see it in, like, a beautiful, like, fun, romantic kind of way, and I think, I think it’s just so good.

Yeah, he definitely knows what he’s doing.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

He knows how to work those instruments.

Oh, for sure.

He knows how to get to his parts.

Yeah, him, like, being able to orchestrate something like that reminds me of, like, the Forever Forever YouTube video, where he, like, had the whole piano piece, and then brought in, like, the different instruments, it felt so cinematic, and that’s what I loved about that video, is it’s like, yes, this is a perfect intro, I’m not gonna lie, I cried, I cried, I thought it was so good.

That’s fine.

Exactly, yeah, I was like, yeah, it’s good, I missed him so much, I was looking forward to it, and I think with that, he really, like, regained all of his following, and was like, okay, I’m back, here’s, here’s what I have for you, you know, this is where we last left off, and then here’s where we’re starting, and then, like, a month later, he released Aperture.

Yeah, it’s like, oh, yeah, that’s, like, that’s amazing, thank you so much.

That’s exactly what you wanted, yes, exactly, and I feel like, because it’s been since 2022 that he last released, yeah, so it’s been, like, four years, yeah, like, four years, like, four years, so it’s, like, that’s always a, like, good enough time for me to, to miss him, and to crave him, you know, he’s not releasing, like, so frequently, but even though I wish he did, but I think he’s, like, he understands that he’s gonna let us sit with what he has, you know, and I also think that it’s great that he took time for himself, like, yes, 100%, you know, do whatever you need to come back and make a great hit, and that’s exactly what he did, that’s exactly what he did, yeah, I was, I was so happy, because, yeah, I thought it was great, and like I said, I mean, for a while, I really, like, I really didn’t know what to expect with this, I think because Harry’s house, right, was so different than Fineline, yeah, so it was, like, oh, okay, like, this is a new vibe entirely, yeah, like, we’re no longer, like, feeling gloomy, you know, we’re no longer feeling the watermelon sugar, you know, right, what do you mean, okay, grapefruit, that’s where we’re at now, you know, so that switch was pretty drastic, you know, but then we get to now, with Harry’s house, and then disco occasionally, I feel like that was a more seamless blend, you know, to where you still kind of lingered in Harry’s house a little bit, yeah, but you still got the disco, you know, and I think that was, like, a really good transition to where he didn’t, like, jump genres too rapidly to where his fans are, like, yeah, excuse me, exactly, like, it’s a Harry that we knew, exactly, yeah, so I think that was, like, really good too, because sometimes I think artists don’t take that into consideration, like, when they do something new, where it’s like, oh, by the way, I’m completely switching genres, you know, it’s like, oh, that would have been nice to know, but yeah, I think, yeah, he knows, like, he listens to his fans for sure, he does, I think so too, yeah, I think so, and I’m grateful to it, I’m grateful too, I’m glad you listened, thank you, exactly, thank you for coming back, Harry, wherever you are, but I thought, I thought it was great, I also really think that the, oh, gosh, what was I gonna say, I just had it, I love that he’s able to, like, the way he’s able to bring people together through his music is another, it’s crazy, it’s another level, it’s crazy, exactly, I mean, obviously, he’s known worldwide, but, right, come on, it’s Harry Styles, but, like, the way he’s able, like, I think of Harry Styles, and I think of, like, my closest friends, and I think of, like, my family, my mom and sister, you know, we love listening to Harry, I saw Harry Styles with my mom and sister, it was amazing, amazing, yeah, so it’s like, whenever I think of him, I think of people closest to me, because he brings those people closer, you know, it’s like, so, like, thank you for that, you know, like, he’s created such a good community, and I think with his last tour, Love on Tour, I loved it, I loved it so much, I loved everything about the outfits, I thought the set list was great, I thought that the, like, what he brought together, like, you could see a feathery bow and be like, that’s Harry, that’s Harry, you see pearls, that’s Harry, that’s Harry, yep, the jumpsuits, Harry, exactly, so it’s like, you, he’s made himself known, like, in a good brand, but at the same time, with his music, he’s able to bring people together, which I think is really good, because sometimes, you can have, like, the separation between, like, an artist being so good at making themselves a brand, but then their music kind of slacks, you know, and he’s able to blend those two together so nicely, to where it’s like, watermelon sugar, you know, everybody loves that, whether you’re a Harry fan or not, you know, Golden, same thing, I, I think he’s made, like, a lot of those, like, really good hits to where it’s like, oh, like, he’s a, he’s known enough, but then he’s still, sometimes you just want to get cute, like, yeah, like, oh, I’m listening to nothing right now, nothing, nothing, it’s American Girls, oh, it’s nothing, nothing, exactly, yeah, so I think it’s, he’s really done something, yeah, and I think this album also just shows how much he’s grown since his very first album, you know, like, that album’s great, love it, but he’s so young, and he was fresh out of One Direction, you know, it was kind of quick, and then he pops up with this big, yeah, like, 10 years later, exactly, exactly, I couldn’t agree more, honestly, that statement is perfectly said, he’s grown so much, so much, and it’s crazy, it is, and it’s crazy to see it, too, like, I know we’re still really young, right, but if you’ve, like, followed him from One Direction, we were, like, what, seven years old when that band formed, and then, like, Harry’s your first crush, and you’re like, oh my gosh, I love Harry Styles, you get all of the One Direction toys, like, whatever, and then you become, like, a teenager, like, a preteen, and then he drops his first album, and you’re like, what, like, he was just in a boy band, and then you get to high school, and he’s dropping two more albums, and it’s, like, he’s growing with his fans, you know, because, like, all his fans are around our age, obviously older, you know, not too much younger, because they don’t know the lore, but, like, like you said, it brings us all together, and it’s, like, we literally grew up with him, you know, it’s, like, watching my little, my little, my older cousin growing up into something great, even though he was already great, but couldn’t have said it any better than you did, but it’s so, like, great to see his evolution, and be like, yes, you’ve changed so much, and that’s a good thing, like, we love the passion that he still has, and has continued to carry on throughout his entire discography now, and I think it’s, even though he only has four albums, you know, others would have more in this time, but what he’s given us has been great, you know, and they’re, like, timeless ones that you can just go back to whenever, you know, like, like, Fine Line, how are you not going to go back and just stream it so often?

Play She On Repeat.

Exactly.

Six times.

Oh my gosh.

And then move on.

Exactly.

Like, Fine Line was really good.

It was so good, and I, like, I mean, to draw back again, like, with the lyrics that he had in, like, Harry Styles, I, I think is, they were so good.

Yeah.

They were so meaningful, you know, and like you said, fresh out of One Direction, too.

Yeah.

It’s like, of course, that was amazing for, for that time, and then you look back now from where he’s come from, like, disco, occasionally, you know, you still, like, see that same passion in those lyrics, the, the deep meaningful ones, like, in The Waiting Game, or Season 2 of Weight Loss, they still carry the same, like, passion that he has for the music, and it’s really great to see that that hasn’t, like, diminished or died out throughout the time being, and I think it’s really, really good to see, because some, some artists just lose it.

Yeah, yeah, you’re like, you should’ve sticked, right, three albums, stay here, right there.

Exactly, but I think that, like, honestly, controversial, I think most of the One Direction members lost it after One Direction.

Yeah.

Like, Niall did good for a while, Louis lost it immediately, I’m so sorry, but he had, like, three pop songs that were, like, good, he lost it, he just dropped a new album too, actually.

Yeah.

And then, um, Zayn, he’s good, Zayn’s good, not gonna lie, um, but I think he lost it after 2016.

Yeah, that was his peak.

Alright, Leo, Leo, he did, he did good, but Harry, he, like, lingers, you know.

Exactly, he, he had that same, like, I feel like he had that pop star energy from the beginning, though, you know, he knew, he knew what he wanted, and he got that, yeah, and he’s been able to, like, like, like I said earlier, like, create, like, a good image for himself to where it’s, like, okay, like, in my opinion, I just find him so comforting, you know, being, like, like, this is somebody that, like, makes something that I find so, like, deep and meaningful to myself, and he’s able to do that, he just made it, you know, he did it, it’s like, I, like, obviously, that, that brings me immense comfort, you know, so it’s like, I wish he could just be your friend, you know, it’s like, it feels like it, and that’s what he’s done with this, like, album, you know, he makes you feel like someone that you can dance with, that if you, if you saw him and you met him, that he would just, yeah, yeah, that you would just be able to, like, break into song with, you know, sing along.

Yeah, that’s how I’ve always felt, like, you know how boy bands, you’re like, oh, he’s so hot, like, he’s so hot, like, with Harry, it was always just, like, he gets me for some reason, you know, I don’t know him, like, I feel like he would just get me if I was, like, hi, I’m Cassie, and he’s, like, oh, I’m Harry Styles, you know what I mean, and I feel like now that he’s older, too, he just gives off more of that energy, like, that comforting, welcoming feeling, and I think that, too, like I said, like, with his own person, he’s just so, like, welcoming, inviting, and his music reflects himself so well, yes, which sometimes you look at, like, an artist, and you’re, like, you do not look like anything that you make, right, but Harry is, like, yes, you, like, represent your music, and you, like, it’s an accurate depiction of you, and you can tell that, like, with the songs that he’s putting out, it’s truly just him, you know, and I know that he collaborated with somebody on this album to, like, like, produce it and everything, and you can tell, like, yeah, in the, in the production value of it, like, oh, okay, yes, the songs, they sound different than, like, something that he himself would put out, like, Harry Styles album, right, like, the debut album, it sounds different, but, like, in a good way, like, yes, this is, this is a good change, and it feels great to have, good change, that’s a good, yeah, good way to put it, exactly, it’s a good change, and it’s, like you said, like, growing up with him, it’s been, it’s been so fun, yes, honestly, it’s been so great, because it’s, like, yeah, you still, like, the whole community that he’s made, it’s such a great fan, like, community with everybody, to where there’s never, like, any, like, fighting or drama or anything, you know, and you can just, like, if you see a Harry Styles fan, like, you can tell, you know, you can tell, you can tell, it’s like, oh, yes, Harry Styles, like, I can tell you like Harry, exactly, like, oh, American Girls, yes, so good, you know, and I think that, like, sometimes with artists that you listen to, it’s a little more, like, oh, like, I don’t wanna, I don’t want people to know that I’m listening, but then with Harry, it’s someone that you can be proud to listen to, and that’s reflective off of his music itself, but also himself, you know, that’s great, that’s, like, thank you, you have a good character that I feel welcome to, like, embrace, you know, and want to continue to share, that’s why it’s like, yes, I love listening to Harry Styles, and I wanna talk about it, because I love him, exactly, like, his music’s on your card, so it gets it, you don’t, like, turn it off, no, exactly, oh, you should listen to the song, you know, yes, yeah, I couldn’t have said that better, yeah, it’s, like, something that you can just be like, yeah, of course, love it, like, everybody, everybody’s gonna love it, you’re gonna like it, exactly, yeah, and, like, with some of the pop songs that he’s done, like we said, who doesn’t like it, right, and over time, they just continuously get, like, better, and, like, feel more like a classic, you know, because, and, like, when I think of Golden, I think of, like, oh, yes, that time that it came out was so, like, dear and close to me, but now that I hear it again, like, if I hear it at a party, or if I hear it, like, on the radio again, it’s like, oh, yes, like, what a good classic song, you know, like, what a good Harry song, and I feel like, even though he’s only released four albums so far, he’s still managed to create such a legacy within himself, it’s like, yes, you’ve sold out so many shows, yes, you’re gonna sell out Madison Square Garden again, 100%, love it, love it, like, and he just, he’s, like, I’m proud of his accomplishments, and I think it’s, like, it’s well-deserved for him, especially after this album, like, some of the stuff that he put on here, I just feel is, it has to be recognized.
