Capitol Records recording artist Niall Horan will release his debut solo album “Flicker” on the 20th October. Accompanying himself on piano and guitar, he has been writing new material that takes its inspiration from the music he has favored since childhood and his contemporaries – artists like Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Lumineers and James Bay. He has been working with a small team of producers including Julian Bunetta, Jacquire King and Greg Kurstin to hone a cohesive sound for the album.
Niall has sold over 70 million records as part of the all conquering One Direction and has toured the globe numerous times. His debut Platinum single “This Town,” released in the fall of 2016, has sold more than three million track equivalent units globally. Combined streams now surpass 350 million worldwide. The Los Angeles Times said, “The guitar ballad is a tender, swoon-worthy number” and Entertainment Weekly hailed it as “a wistful tale of young love lost.”
The 23-year-old artist gave fans a second taste of his forthcoming album with the May 2017 release of the single “Slow Hands,” which went straight to Number One in 44 countries and is continuing to climb the charts globally, giving Horan his second bona fide hit single as a solo artist. Line of Best Fit said “He’s shed his squeaky clean onesie and donned a crooner coat, giving us one of the coolest, catchiest choruses of 2017 in the process.” Rolling Stone noted, “Above a stomp-and-clap beat and muted guitar, Horan allows his lower register to showcase his more seductive side on the track” while Entertainment Weekly observed, “…he was channelling the solo work of the Eagles’ Don Henley on this funky follow-up.”
On August 26th Niall kicked off his “Flicker Sessions 2017” world tour with a show at the historic Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. Tickets for the tour went on sale in July and sold out instantly around the globe. The run includes 13 dates in the U.S., beginning with a September 19 show at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. He’ll play the Beacon Theatre in New York City on October 31 and wrap up the tour on November 22 at The Masonic in San Francisco.
On the 15th of September Niall released the third single off his debut album titled “Too Much To Ask”. The song was written with Jamie Scott and produced by Greg Kurstin. On the same day Niall announced the US and Canada leg of his Flicker World Tour . For more details, visit http://www.niallhoran.com
