British singer Harry Styles won album of the year at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, an upset victory over heavy favorites Beyoncé, who still eludes the award, or Adele.
The pop sensation won the most coveted award in this equivalent of the music Oscar thanks to harry’s house, his third work. A record where synthesizers and smooth acoustics are accompanied by some very personal lyrics, to make it the most intimate record of the British star.
His departure allowed the former member of the boy band One Direction to achieve the status of a star appreciated by the greatest number.
“It doesn’t happen that often to people like me and it’s great,” the singer said onstage in Los Angeles at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.

The album comes across as the sonic equivalent of a warm California afternoon by the pool, while showcasing the Brit’s songwriting talents.
But this play didn’t necessarily seem destined to take home the top prize at the Grammy Awards, as it was up against blockbusters from pop titans.
Before Sunday, Styles had only one Grammy to his credit and was perhaps better known for his flamboyant style and stage presence than his musical ability.
