English singer and songwriter Harry Styles announced the title of his upcoming third studio album as Harry’s House on 23 March 2022, unveiling its artwork, a 40-second trailer and the album’s release date as 20 May 2022.[8] In the trailer, Styles steps on the podium of a theatre and grins while a “house façade” rises near him and synthesisers play in the background. Harry’s House features 13 tracks.[9] Joni Mitchell, who included a track called “Harry’s House / Centerpiece” on her 1975 album The Hissing of Summer Lawns, tweeted that she “love[d] the title”.[6] Upon announcing the album, he set up an interactive website and a new Twitter account. The messages say “you are home” and “in this world, it’s just us, you know it’s not the same as it was”.[10] In an interview with Apple Music, Styles explained how he came up with the album title: “The album is named after Haruomi Hosono, he had an album in the ’70s called Hosono’s House [sic], and I spent that chunk in Japan; I heard that record and I was like ‘I love that. It’d be really fun to make a record called Harry’s House‘.”[11] The album features John Mayer on lead guitar on “Cinema” and “Daydreaming”.[12]

Critical reception

On review aggregator Metacritic, Harry’s House received a score of 82 out of 100 based on 19 critics’ reviews, indicating “universal acclaim”.[16] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian wrote that the album “ticks a lot of the right boxes and has abundant charm, which makes it a perfect reflection of the pop star who made it”.[20] Reviewing the album for DIY, Emma Swann felt that while Styles alternately spends time “exploring vivid lyrical micro-vignettes” and then “obfuscating” the narrative on the album, he is “also not scared of being secondary to the song; a lesson it’s taken many others far longer to learn”.
