It's Sunday and it's time for A Nice Pair - our weekly series where we pair up a book and a record for a cohesive reading and listening experience. Today we're pairing the book Harry Styles by Alex Bilmes, Aya Kanai and Jem Aswadwith his latest release that just arrived here this week, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

This luxe gift book for the ultimate Harry Styles fan features over 100 pictures of the superstar and a gold-foil cover. It recognizes his impact on music, fashion, and culture and delves into his signature moments. Top cultural, music and fashion industry contributors dial into what makes him a Sign of the Times and how his authentically positive and unique forms of self-expression have helped redefine modern masculinity.

Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, Harry Styles' fourth studio album, was just released on March 6th. Ellie Rowsell of the band Wolf Alice and members of the London-based House Gospel Choir provide background vocals on numerous tracks on the album. Styles co-wrote the album alongside frequent collaborators Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson and it features hits such as Aperture and American Girls.
