His last album won him Grammy Awards, Brit Awards and a place on most people's Spotify playlists.
Now the Mail can reveal Harry Styles is back in the studio recording a new top secret album, in what is expected to be his most 'emotional' project yet..
Spotted in recent weeks stepping inside Rak music studios in St John's Wood near Regent's Park, 30-year-old Styles has been hard at work.
The studios were founded in in 1976 by English record producer Mickie Most - who was known for his hits with the Animals, Jeff Beck, Donovan, Suzi Quatro and Kim Wilde, among others. He was also a recording artist, record label boss and TV producer.
After Mr Most died in 2003 aged 64, his daughter Natalie Hayes took over the studios helping it to win studio of the year in 2014, 2015 and 2017.

Made up of four fully equipped studios, recording artists are also able to stay overnight in either of the two accommodations.
To allow traveling artists to have easy access to the studios, Rak owns a townhouse and a studio flat next door that come fully equipped.
The townhouse, which is next door to the studios, sleeps up to six people should celebrities come with an entourage.
There is also two bathrooms as well as a fully equipped kitchen should anyone prefer to cook at home.
The studio flat is above the main Rak building and has one bedroom, an en-suite and gives guests 24-hour access to the recording studios.
Rak also has its own dining facilities for recording artists – meaning they never have to leave should they want to.
And should celebrities fancy something sweet, there is 'biscuit cupboard' which is always fully stocked.
The idea was introduced in memory of Mr Most who would regularly fill the boot of his Rolls Royce with biscuits for the celebrities and staff working late at RAK.
New music from Styles is highly anticipated with many fans pleading for a 2024 album.
Whilst on stage in New Zealand in 2023, he spoke about the songwriting process and teased: 'We're almost at the end of the fruit bowl. Come album four, who knows? No citrus is safe.'

His third studio album Harry's House was released in 2022 and won him Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album as well as a Brit Award for Album of the Year.
Rak studios are just a stone's throw away from his North London home.
Sources say the tracks so far are some of the most poignant and most revealing songs they've heard from Styles.
No stranger to the illustrious studios, it's known he recorded his 2019 hit Adore You there.
Close friend and ex-One Directon bandmate Niall Horan, 30, recorded his 2017track Fool's Gold there too.
Having just got off tour, the star has been quick to return to the studio, with many thinking he would have opted for a long break before getting back to work.

Styles's Gucci-filled two-year-long Love on Tour is reported by Billboard Boxscore to have sold five million tickets and grossed $617.3 million (£489.2million).
Since breaking off from One Direction in 2015, he is now believed to be the UK's richest star aged 30 and under, worth £175million, according to the 2023 Heat Rich List.
Despite owning three properties in North London – bring his total investment in the area to more than £15million – Styles was spotted in New York this week with his new girlfriend Taylor Russell, 29.
The singer and actress were first linked as a couple in June 2023.
The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker is reportedly 'head over heels for Taylor,' a source revealed to Us Weekly last year before noting that he 'loves spending as much time with her as he can'.
At the start of the year the pair travelled to Antigua but shortly after their return, Styles was reportedly left 'shaken' after he was targeted by staler Myra Carvalho, 35, who was charged with causing him serious harm and distress.

Since his last album Styles broke up with Olivia Wilde, 40, whom he worked together with whilst starring in the 2022 film 'Don't Worry Darling'.
Then four months later he was spotted kissing model Emily Ratajkowski, 32, in Tokyo.
This month sources close to Styles revealed that despite dating his new girlfriend Russell for less than a year it is also said that he was 'ready to start a family' with the Canadian.
Sources explained:'Harry feels as if he has lived ten lifetimes already, but one thing is certain – his 30s will be nothing like his 20s. He has experienced all the fame anyone could ever want. He is now ready for the next chapter.
'He is in love with Taylor. He wants a family with her and this is the next phase of his life.'
And with his next music set to be the most emotional he's made yet, fans will hope to get an insight into the pop star's sensitive side.
