Harry Styles’ new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, is coming this spring — but will there be any featured artists joining him on the dance floor?

According to the British pop star, no. In an interview with Capital Breakfast on Friday (Jan. 23), Styles managed fan expectations by revealing that — like all three of his prior solo albums — HS4 won’t include any special guests. “There are no collabs on this album,” he said, choosing not to beat around the bush when asked about it point-blank.

He added with a shy grin, “Just me.”

The musician’s answer may not come as a surprise, as Styles has never been one for including duets on his albums. His 2017 self-titled debut, 2019’s Fine Line and 2022’s Harry’s House were all strictly solo works, and all of them reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

The interview comes hours after the release of Styles’ first single in years, “Aperture.” The house-inspired track marks the first taste fans are getting of Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, which is due out March 6.

Elsewhere in the interview, the One Direction alum spoke about having to “fall in love with music all over again” during his three-year break from the spotlight after feeling burned out from his Love On Tour, as well as gushed about his lifelong love of Shania Twain, who will be joining him on a few dates of his recently announced Together, Together tour.

And while Styles’ fans have shown up to his shows in sparkles and feather boas in the past, the Grammy winner told Capital Breakfast that this time around, “I just want them to come ready to dance.”

“I want them to come ready to be with their friends, close their eyes, open their eyes, dance, let it go and be whatever and whoever they are in that moment,” he said. “And I think it’s going to be fun and I’ll be right there with them.”

UPDATE (Jan. 23): Chappell Roan and veteran manager Roger Davies have been added to the already stacked list of honorees at the annual Resonator Awards, which will be presented by We Are Moving the Needle on Jan. 27 at Los Angeles’ iconic Chaplin Studios (formerly Henson Studios).

Roan will receive the Harmonizer Award, presented by Heart’s Nancy Wilson; Davies, who has managed such music superstars as Olivia Newton-John, Cher, Sade, Tina Turner, Janet Jackson and P!nk, will receive the Transformer Award. The Harmonizer Award honors a creator who uses music to leverage social change. The Transformer Award, which will be presented by a special guest, celebrates a changemaker who uplifts women’s voices across the industry.

Comedian Fred Armisen will host the show. Performers include FLO, Greg Kurstin, Jim James, Lucius, Sia, Thundercat and Victoria Canal, plus a DJ set by U.S. Girls. There will also be a tribute performance in honor of this year’s Luminary Award recipient, Chaka Khan, featuring Grace Bowers, Hayley Williams, Lalah Hathaway, Maggie Rogers and more surprise guests. The event’s live music is supported by Live Nation Women, a division at Live Nation dedicated to driving progress for women across the industry.

In the lead-up to the Resonator Awards, We Are Moving the Needle will host a curated auction featuring exclusive music memorabilia. All proceeds will benefit the organization’s scholarship fund. The auction will include instruments signed by boygenius, Haim, Remi Wolf, Train and more. The digital auction is open to the public on eBay, with additional special items to be revealed at the live auction next week.

PREVIOUSLY (Jan. 7): Chaka Khan, St. Vincent, Haim and Amy Allen are among this year’s honorees at the 2026 Resonator Awards, which will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 27, at Chaplin Studios (formerly known as Henson Studios) in Los Angeles. The Resonator Awards are presented by We Are Moving the Needle, which was founded in 2021 by Grammy-winning mastering engineer Emily Lazar.

“Empowered women empower women,” Khan, who is set to receive the Luminary Award, said in a statement. “I am honored to be part of a movement that celebrates the creativity, resilience, and determination of women creators everywhere. We lift each other and shine. Together, we are moving the needle.”

Fittingly, for an event being held during Grammy Week, several of the honorees are 2026 Grammy nominees.

Allen has four nominations this year – songwriter of the year, non-classical (an award she won last year), album of the year for her contributions to Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend (Allen won in that category three years ago for her work on Harry Styles’ Harry’s House); and two song of the year nods, for cowriting Carpenter’s “Manchild” and the Bruno Mars/Rosé collab “APT.”

Honorees Roselilah and Jayda Love are current record of the year nominees. Roselilah is nominated for co-producing the Kendrick Lamar/SZA collab “Luther”; Love as engineer/mixer of Doechii’s “Anxiety.” Love won a Grammy earlier this year for best rap album for Doechii’s Alligator Bites Never Heal.

Many other honorees are past Grammy winners. Khan is a 10-time Grammy winner. In addition, she will receive a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy at the Special Merit Awards on Saturday, Jan. 31. St. Vincent, a six-time Grammy winner, is the only female solo artist to win multiple Grammys for best alternative music album. She has won in that category three times, for St. Vincent, Daddy’s Home and All Born Screaming. Gena Johnson has won two Grammys – best country album for Chris Stapleton’s Starting Over and best Americana album for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit’s Weathervanes.

Other honorees include five-time Grammy nominees HAIM; 2025 Grammy nominee Bella Blasko (Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, The National); 2025 producer of the year (non-classical) Grammy nominee Alissia (Mary J. Blige, Anderson .Paak, Kaytranada); writer-producer duo Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser who crafted Addison Rae’s breakout debut album this year; and Betty Bennett, co-founder of the audio company Apogee Electronics.

Resonator Hall of Fame Awards will be presented to Elaine Martone, Jaime Sickora, Judith Sherman, Mary Mazurek and Michelle Sabolchick, and posthumously to songwriter Allee Willis, who died in 2019, and producer, songwriter and DJ Sophie, who died in 2021. Previous Hall of Fame inductees include Alicia Keys, Linda Perry, Ann Mincieli, Leslie Ann Jones and Marcella Araica.

The event will include a seated dinner, awards ceremony, and live performances. Funds raised will go to support the mission of We Are Moving the Needle – a nonprofit organization working to “radically reshape the future of the recording industry.” The organization empowers women, trans, and non-binary creators, producers and engineers to succeed through scholarships and grants, mentorship, research, advocacy, and community events.

“We Are Moving The Needle is about strengthening the music industry so creators can thrive on their own terms,” Lazar said in a statement. “The Resonator Awards are a reflection of that mission — honoring not only remarkable artistry, but the shared commitment to building an industry that lives up to its values.”

In 2019, Lazar became the first female mastering engineer to win a Grammy for best engineered album, non-classical for her work on Beck’s Colors. Two years later, she became the first mastering engineer to land three Grammy nods for album of the year in a single year. She was the mastering engineer on Coldplay’s Everyday Life, Haim’s Women in Music Pt. III and Jacob Collier’s Djesse Vol. 3.

Fans of Wicked: For Good were dealt a wicked hand on Thursday (Jan. 22) when the nominations for the 98th Academy Awards were announced and the box office hit movie musical was totally shut out. After 2024’s first part garnered 10 Oscar nominations at the 2025 awards — making it one of the year’s three most-nominated films — this time around stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were denied entry onto the short roster of actors who have received two Oscar nods for playing the same role in two different films.

While it appeared neither woman had publicly responded to the shut-out at press time, singer Charlie Puth definitely had something to say about it in an X post where he decried the non-noms. “Ariana and Cynthia not getting nominated for Wicked is such a disappointment,” wrote Puth. “I don’t watch a lot of movies, but I believe the amazing musicality they both showcased should be acknowledged.”

In addition to the actors and director Jon M. Chu being shut out, the movie’s two original songs, “No Place Like Home” and “The Girl in the Bubble,” also failed to make the cut.

Fans seemed hopeful that Grande, 32, might receive a nomination for best supporting actress for her role as Glinda in the film after the first part of the big screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical scored 10 nods, including best picture, best actress (for Erivo) and best supporting actress for Ariana; Erivo was nominated best actress at this year’s Golden Globes, while Grande received a best supporting actress Globe nom.

And Arianators weren’t shy about voicing their displeasure. “I’ve been on social media because sometimes a mental health break is needed but NOT nominating Ariana Grande for best supporting actress ensures she doesn’t make history and was done deliberately. Convince me otherwise @TheAcademy, I’m not gonna boycott the #Oscars but you’re wrong for this one!!!!!,” wrote one aggrieved super fan.

Another was equally irate, saying, “I can’t believe we are living in a world where Ariana Grande doesn’t receive one single televised award for filming a 5 hour movie that is a masterclass in transitioning back and forth seamlessly from comedy to emotional trauma all while singing at a Broadway caliber level. I’m just shook.”

The 98th Oscars will air live on ABC on March 15, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m PT. Conan O’Brien will host the show for the second year in a row.

Everyone’ wild about Harry. Harry Styles, that is.  

The former One Direction star is back with a banger, “Aperture,” the first cut from his forthcoming album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, due out March 6. 

“Aperture” has caught Styles’ fans off guard, but not in a bad way. Like “End of Summer,” the first track from Tame Impala’s latest album, Deadbeat, “Aperture” is a departure from familiar fare. It’s a pulsating, electronic number.

In the first interview for this current album cycle, Styles told BBC Radio 1’s breakfast host Greg James that the song was influenced by “classic pop songwriting,” and name-checked LCD Soundsystem and English post-punk band The Durutti Column as inspiration.

“I saw [LCD Soundsystem] at a festival in Madrid, then saw them again at Brixton [Academy, London]. It was so joyous watching them be immersed in it,” he told James on Friday morning, Jan. 23. “The inspiration from watching [LCD Soundsystem] and realizing ‘that’s how I want to feel when I’m on stage,’ and it matched the music I was making.”

Styles’ fans around the globe will get a chance to hear “Aperture” and much more when he embarks on his Together, Together tour, which will include 50 stops in seven cities: Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York, Melbourne, and Sydney.

Produced by Live Nation, the trek gets underway in May and will include 30 shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, his only concerts in the United States, and a six-night run at London’s Wembley Stadium. 

If social media is a good gauge, “Aperture” is pressing the right buttons. Fans are turned on, tuned up and blissing out. Check out a selection of tweets below.

“Aperture” is one of 12 tracks on Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, which is executive produced by Kid Harpoon. The collection is available for pre-order on limited edition vinyl + CD, exclusive merchandise, box sets, and more.
