Harry Styles - "Aperture"

Featured Replies

This is a grower and i really like it. They should release radio edit to DSPs as well, that could increase streams.

After a couple of listenings, I have mixed feelings about it. Normally, I'm really into that kind of song, but it should have built more and more towards the end, now it's just a long song without any surprising shift.. I'm disappointed at this point. Where's the Robbie's Rock DJ kind of song they told us about, I was expecting a more joyful song, now it's just a depressing vibe, especially with the bad music video. Still have hopes for good songs in the record but releasing that as a first comeback single with that kind of video, it's feels flat to me

4M first day is huge I think it's enough to guarantee a #1 debut unless the nosedive drop won't stop for the next few days jonny3

Actually vibing with this so hard, love the layered synths gayorkcat2

Only listened once… not first single material at all, no wonder it plummeted

The #3 debut on Apple Music is huge for a song like this eek

The last artist to have a huge debut like this was probably Taylor with Ophelia

It ain't gunna have longevity tho. Radio won't even touch this lol

I hope not. It's garbage .

The #1 debut is still possible

But the second week will be out of the top 10 probably.

I wonder if he will release a radio edit

Not a Harry fan but I just heard this and it was very, very cute. Saw somebody comparing it to BRAT which is.. crazy? Saw somebody saying it was techno influenced which is… also crazy? Definitely has some club music elements and you can totally dance to it but it feels way more atmospheric rather than anything else in my opinion. Gorgeous "we belong together" chants in what feels like the post chorus (?). Not sure about the song structure as they only let us listen to it once but it didn't feel too conventional honestly.

Techno is way more than just club bangers, there's a lot of techno genres who focus on atmospheres, like melodic techno for example and many more sub genres

Loved the intro and the first half. I was pumped. But then it kinda just flatlines and went nowhere.... ducky I'll give it a few more spins but man. This could've been awesome if it exploded somewhere after the second verse.

Just heard it now and it's fine. Hope the second single is better.

still have hope for this smashing tbh, it's so good and it's so unusual for a pop boy of Harry's calibre to really experiment in this direction in the 2020s clap3 deserves a good 2 weeks at #1 before Raye or Olivia or Taylor take over

Tbh I still have the same reservation about him: everything he does is still missing personality. His influences are very good, the songs and albums are fine, but his personal touch is nowhere to be found. That's why people forget he exists and his music as soon as he goes on hiatus.

I really wanna see HIS unique stamp, you know what I mean? Not just that he looked up David Bowie or LCD Soundsystem on Wikipedia.

The song is good though maybe it's not lead single material, either way the Gee Pee has no taste.

Eh I get what you mean but half of this statement is not true lol no one forgets that he exists when he goes on hiatus

Aperture is cute but also underwhelming.

Don't know if it's a good song to start a new era.

I live in Berlin so I do know a thing or two about techno. Still standing on my opinion that this has no techno elements.

The song's been on repeat for me! The drought is over for men in pop music.
