Friday Music Guide: New Music From Harry Styles, Yebba, aespa & More
Harry Styles, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally . The long-awaited release of Harry Styles’ new album is indeed cause to celebrate — and, if there was ever a time to occasionally disco, this is surely it. Kiss All The Time delivers plenty of dancefloor-ready tracks and even more introspective lyrics, which together offer a glimpse into Styles’ life of late, proving that sometimes a dim-lit nightclub is the perfect place to have a bright idea.
Kiss All The Time was executive produced by Styles’ longtime collaborator, Kid Harpoon. For more on Kiss All The Time , be sure to check out Billboard ‘s tracks ranked and critic’s take . Just two weeks ago, celebrated singer-songwriter Yebba announced that her second album, Jean , would arrive on March 6. The reveal came with lead single (and album standout “Yellow Eyes”).
The album follows Yebba’s 2021 debut, Dawn , which was largely inspired by the loss of her mother and earned a Grammy Award nomination for best traditional R&B performance. And while Jean is expectedly gorgeous, there’s a softer beauty about it — a quiet calm that can only accompany years of healing and acceptance. As a press release for the album states: “Releasing this album required surrender.
And surrender requires a kind of letting go. In this case, letting go of expectation, of the idea that grief resolves neatly, and of the fear of oversharing.”
