| 0:00.0 | I'm Brian Hyatt. This is Rolling Stone Music Now. Harry Styles has a great new single out called Aperture, and his new album, Kiss All the Time, disco occasionally, will be out on the 6th of March. |
| 0:13.4 | To talk about all things Harry, I have with me, Rob Sheffield. Rob, thanks so much for joining me. |
