Harry Styles secretly recording ‘mystery’ new album in Berlin after being inspired by Brit pop legend

Insider reveals how Harry ‘loves having a bit of mystery around what he does’

HARRY STYLES appears to be taking inspiration from David Bowie on his fourth studio album – by heading to Berlin.

David famously recorded three records in the German city and now Harry has been spotted spending time there with Brit producer Kid Harpoon, who worked with him on his last No1 project, Harry’s House.

Helpfully, Sony Music’s new European HQ is also in the city . . . so it more than makes sense.

An insider said: “Harry wanted to take some time out following Harry’s House and his massive world tour.

“Now, he is busy finishing up his next record and, like Bowie, Berlin seems to be the city which is inspiring him.

“Harry loves having a bit of mystery around what he does.

“It’s exactly what Bowie used to be like, and he is one of the greatest artists in the world.

“There is a huge amount of interest in what Harry is going to do next, and his team are really excited about releasing it to the world.”

In recent days, fans spotted Harry in the capital and stopped for a chat with the star as he ­wandered around the streets almost unrecognised.

One posted a TikTok video online and said Harry had kindly stepped in to cover their taxi fare after they ran out of euros to pay for the trip.

The woman then claimed she had offered Harry some dollars in return, to which she says he replied: “No thank you, I’m not going to America.”

Well, as the country is now being run by a permatanned eejit, I’m not surprised about that.
