Harry Styles Links Marathon Discipline to New Album on Runner’s World Cover With Haruki Murakami

He says marathon training gave him the solitude that guided the sound of his fourth record.

Overview

  • In a cover conversation with novelist Haruki Murakami, Styles calls running “a conversation with myself” and describes it as his way to process the isolating effects of fame.
  • The feature lands ahead of Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., set for release on March 6.
  • Multiple outlets report that Netflix will stream the album’s first live performance on March 8.
  • Styles says time in Berlin nightclubs shaped the record’s communal, electronic feel, citing Floating Points, Jamie xx, Fadi Mohem and Ben Klock as influences.
  • He recently clocked about 3:24 in the Tokyo Marathon and roughly 2:59 in Berlin and plans a Together, Together world tour starting in May, including major U.K. dates.
