Harry Styles has unleashed ‘Harry’s House’ – his third studio album.

Led by the indie-pop stylings of ‘As It Was,’ the set sees Styles exploring themes of romance, heartbreak, and acceptance.

That Grape Juice has been spinning the LP since its release. Join us below to find out which five tracks are essential on ‘Harry’s House.’

5. As It Was 

Styles’ first song to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 also happens to be one of the most essential songs of his career. Serving as a change of pace from the sensual ‘Grapejuice,’ ‘As It Was’ brings a lightning bolt of energy that is much needed. With vibrant keys and fervent drums, this has been one of the biggest hits of the year for a good reason.

4. Satellite

Pop music has always had a fascination with space – see Elton John’s ‘Rocket Man’ and Ariana Grande’s ‘NASA – but Styles has delivered one of the most dynamic songs about it. Across the song, Styles finds himself “spinning out” right before the back half of the song kicks in and delivers a rock anthem worthy of both stadiums and the stars.

3. Late Night Talking

There are many tracks across the album that recall the flamboyance and flare of David Bowie, but none more so than synth-heavy ‘Late Night Talking.’ Complete with snappy production and a message about being a cure-all for his lover, Styles’ committed delivery allows for a sneak peek into the warm, lamplight glow of true romance.

2. Little Freak 

One of the more intimate tracks on ‘Harry’s House,’ Styles offers up the tale of former lovers and while one has moved on, the other has not. A nostalgic reflection of a relationship, it is complete with 80s-inspired synth beats, haunting guitar, and poetic lyrics. More than a standard ballad, Styles has created a surprisingly emotional cry-bop, one that stands among his most poignant to date.

1. Matilda

If there is one thing that fans and critics have been in agreeance with when it comes to Styles’ new album, it is that ‘Matilda’ is the best song on it. A stirring ode to a friend who has faced neglect and trauma at the feet of family and loved ones, the song sees the subject inch toward adult stability. An acoustic ballad, Styles proves that there is immense power with a gentle emotional touch.
