Harry Styles just dropped a wonderfully joyful new music video for his hit tune “Late Night Talking“. With polka-dot pyjamas, multiple bed buddies, and pillow fights a plenty, it’s a playful ode to the after party and goings on after dark, with Harry pulling off a typically stylish and charming performance. Check it out below.
“Late Night Talking” is currently floating at No.14 in the UK Singles Charts, having previously peaked at No.2, and is Harry’s latest single following his record breaker “As It Was” that stayed at No.1 for a staggering 10 weeks. His new album Harry’s House has been a huge success and the biggest of the year for a British artist so far. With 4 songs concurrently in the top 10 of Billboards Hot 100 at one point (“As It Was“, “Late Night Talking“, “Music For A Sushi Restaurant“, and “Matilda“) he became the first British artist to ever achieve the feat, catapulting Harry’s House into the annuls of history and further cementing Styles’s star power.
In this video, Harry can be seen to wake up confused by the absence of his sleepover compadre to then search for them beneath the sheets in an Alice In Wonderland-esque sequence. The video then darts between various different sets and locations with multiple different partners enjoying Harry’s company in bed. It’s all very tasteful and fun, with the tone of the visuals complimenting the fizzy pop nature of the song nicely. Some particularly memorable sequences involve Harry bombing it down a busy road near Buckingham Palace on a king sized bed with his bandmates, or an incredibly extra spoonathon where 20+ people happily roll around in bed together. The undercurrent is all quite saucy, with many different actors and extras coming together to pull off the free-living sentiment of the video. It’s nice to see people of all different shapes and sizes, genders and ethnicities getting their spotlight too, for a pop video that could have so easily fallen into the glorification of unobtainable standards, there’s a nice level of grounding to the production.
It’s a stellar addition to Harry’s latest album campaign and an obvious reminder as to why he’s such a golden goose at the moment. As for what’s next for the star, the rest of the year already looks pretty filled out, with his world tour taking him across Europe, America, and Australia only finishing up in March 2023, the boy wonder from Cheshire looks to be a busy bee for the foreseeable future. No more UK show dates in as it stands though unfortunately, but as soon as we know, you’ll know.
