Harry Styles has already won critical acclaim for his upcoming album, Kiss all the time. Disco, occasionally with a score of 78 on Metacritic ahead of its March 6 release.
The 31-year-old singer had his lyrics leaked early on March 4 after critics panned the album and fans went into a frenzy to find out that the album is completely different than expected.
Despite Styles claiming in various interviews that the sound of the album is danceable, fans claimed that the lyrics have the ability to make one cry.
The Grammy winner’s upcoming song, Paint by numberseems to be about his relationship with Olivia Wilde and feelings of inadequacy to be a stepfather to her children at the time, to which fans noted that they “really did NOT need to read these painted lyrics so early in the morning omg,” due to their deep sadness.
Another X user shouted, “why are all these lyrics breaking my heart”, while one exclaimed: “JUST GET THE ALBUM ALREADY.”
Although the album reviews have revealed snippets of the songs, the upcoming album still feels as unpredictable as ever due to the sheer variety in the songs’ themes.
One aspect fans can be sure of is finding the vulnerability in all of these themes, as the One Direction alum told Zane Lowe that he made peace with the parts of himself he held close during the songwriting sessions for this album and wrote from that place of freedom.
