Less than two months after Harry Styles‘ latest hit ‘As It Was’ found a home atop the Billboard Hot 100, its parent album – ‘Harry’s House’ – is looking to do the same at the perch of the Billboard 200.

Released Friday (May 20), the 13-track set – his third studio effort – features the previously previewed songs ‘Boyfriend,’ ‘Late Night Talking,’ and ‘Daylight’ and also comes as the follow-up to 2019’s history-making ‘Fine Line,’ which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.

“I feel like it’s kind of a collection of all of my favorite things and very much like the album I’ve always wanted to make, so I’m really happy,” Styles said of ‘House.’ “I think for me, it’s definitely the most personal record I think I’ve made. It was definitely the most intimately made thing I’ve done so far. Obviously, the [global health crisis] and everything kind of added to the way it was made.

Released April 29, the 13-track project – named after the street in California where it was recorded – was executive produced by Pop Wansel and features appearances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Syd, Thundercat, Blxst, Jessie Reyez, and Ambré.
