Fans quickly took to social media to comment on the change in his accent, with some writing: ‘He’s sounding American.’
‘Okay but where did his accent go?’… ‘His accent has really changed! He’s forgotten his rootes through his voice again!’
‘Watching my good friend Harry Styles in all his new interviews like it’s a bedtime story, But the american accent jumping out at a few words was a thing.’
‘Is it just me or does Harry sound softer and has a slightly American accent now?’
Speaking about the residency, Harry said: ‘It feels really exciting [to be back]. It got to a point where I’d finished the album, I was living with it for a while and it was like OK the music’s ready, I feel really excited about it.
‘I’m excited to play it to people and that felt like a really good reason for the timing to be right for putting it out.’
And talking about setting the stage – Harry was asked did he really ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.’
‘It’s a life mantra! It’s unhealthy to disco all the time so loving and moving through your life with love and then taking a break every now and again to have some fun is a really good way to approach your life,’ he said.
