Or sing about it, anyway-he politely dodged questions about Olivia during a recent interview with Howard Stern. It’s been well over a year of on-set romance and oceanside PDA between Harry and his current partner, Olivia Wilde, and Harry seems to be ready to talk about his thriving, oft-controversial relationship. I’m sorry.)Īnd no complaints about that, but are we sure someone didn’t just mistake the shopping list for song lyrics and commit to the bit? It’s also worth noting that Harry’s House adds to Harry’s ongoing run of fruit-titled songs, with “Grapejuice” following in the sticky footsteps of “Cherry,” “Kiwi,” and “Watermelon Sugar.” Someone feed this man.

(A real term that I just learned about, and now you have to know about it too. Whatever the reason, Harry’s House is rife with food references, primarily on the opening track, “Music for a Sushi Restaurant”: “green eyes, fried rice, I could cook an egg on you … sweet ice cream, you could use a flake or two / blue bubblegum twisting round your tongue.” On “Daylight,” he sings, “dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you,” and “Keep Driving” contains a verse devoted to “maple syrup, coffee, pancakes for two / Hash brown, egg yolk, I will always love you.” Someone is clearly into sploshing. Did Harry eat before writing any of these songs? Perhaps he was mid-diet to prepare for his rumored nude scenes in the upcoming film My Policeman. My mother always said you should never go grocery shopping hungry, and perhaps crafting an album abides by similar rules. Light stuff! But now, between Harry’s House’s soothing lyrics, unhurried melodies, and even some recent casual meadow frolicking, it’s clear that Harry is ready to slow down, stay on the ground, and enjoy the little things in life. “Yesterday it finally came, a sunny afternoon / I was on my way to buy some flowers for you / Thought we could hide away in a corner of the heath” he sings on “Grapejuice.” On “Daylight,” he croons, “Out of New York, I’m on my comedown speed / we’re on bicycles, saying ‘There’s life out there.’”įive years ago, Harry Styles was flying over Scotland, dangling from a helicopter and taking himself very seriously as he kicked off his solo career with an epic, nearly six-minute power ballad about the end of the world. Harry leans into that intimate “day in the life” energy on several tracks. The promo around Harry’s House has exuded a sort of tranquil, intimate vibe since the first teasers were released-even the minimalist album cover evokes a Madewell campaign rather than the flamboyant imagery of albums past. But it may be time to consider a new lifestyle aesthetic: domestic Harrycore.

In recent years, trendy “aesthetics” like cottagecore, dark academia, and most recently “coastal grandmacore” have gone viral among the fashion-forward youths on TikTok. From endless food references to getting very detailed about, uh, various elements of his current relationship, here are the biggest takeaways from Harry’s House.

The record ushers in a new phase of Harry’s career, one that sees him swapping soaring rock ballads for breezy summer bops and cementing his status as one of our most reliable, ever-improving pop stars. Just weeks after headlining Coachella in a haze of sequins and Shania, the boy bander turned megastar’s third solo album, Harry’s House, is officially out. In an era of streaming music that seems more indistinct and unpredictable than ever, Harry Styles is a constant source of can’t-miss content and larger-than-life moments.
