Harry Styles fans, the drought may finally be over. The buzz surrounding Harry’s long-awaited fourth album – lovingly dubbed HS4 of fans – is building, and it looks like new music could be right around the corner.
It has been over two years Harry’s house took the world by storm, receiving critical acclaim, multiple awards and chart-topping successes. Now rumors are swirling that Harry is preparing for his next era, and it might just be his most emotional album yet.
is HS4 Coming in 2024?
Although Harry has yet to officially confirm the album, all signs point to a 2024 release. Reports surfaced in March that the pop star was back in the studio, and whispers of new music have only intensified since then.
Harry doesn’t usually release music without fanfare. Others believe a spring or summer 2025 release may be more likely given his quiet build-up thus far.
What is the playlist for HS4?
Unfortunately, there is no official tracklist yet. Harry is keeping the details under wraps, but insiders claim this could be his “most emotional album yet.” A source is said to have told MailOnline that the new music will delve deeper into Harry’s personal experiences and emotions, which will tug at fans’ heartstrings.

Will there be any collaborations?
Harry’s previous album – Harry Styles, Nice lineand Harry’s house – above all had no guest appearances. However, HS4 could break tradition.
The As it was hitmaker has been spotted with several artists in London, fueling collaboration rumours. In recent months, Harry has been seen with Olivia Dean, Fred Again…, Florence Welch and André 3000. While these encounters may just be friendly hangouts, it wouldn’t be surprising if one or more of these talented artists ended up on the album .
The producer Yaffra has also been mentioned in connection with HS4which suggests that the new record can explore fresh and exciting soundscapes.
What else do we know?
Adding to the speculation, Deux Mois’ pop culture podcast Two U teased in September that Harry’s new music is “coming faster than you think.” While no specific timeline was given, they hinted that a lead single could drop very soon.

If HS4 drops in 2024 or not, one thing is clear: Harry Styles’ next era will be worth the wait.
