Niall Horan’s Got a Surprise Lined up

The former One Direction boys have been dropping hit after hit and it can’t get any better than this! They’ve all managed to settle in different genres of music and ultimately come into their own and Niall Horan is no exception!

He recently took to Twitter to reveal that his sophomore album is “complete.” He’s already given us a taste of his upcoming album, through songs like “Nice to Meet Ya” and “Put a Little Love on Me.” Both songs showed us a very different side to Niall. In fact, in ‘Nice To Meet Ya’, the former One Direction member has even experimented with his voice, opting for a bassy, huskier tone. The song transitions smoothly from toe-tapping piano chords to Horan humming melodically into the first verse.

If you missed out on the origin story of the track, here it is,”The lyrics came about from a half-true story. I was out one night and locked eyes with this girl,” Niall said, “We got chatting, and she was with a group of her mates and I was with a group of my mates. It felt like every time I turned around — like the lyric says — she just kind of disappeared. But then over the course of the same night, in different bars around that same area, we would bump into each other. It’s a song that is basically like a movie that is based on a true story, and then you start changing stuff that makes the song start to sound a little bit more interesting.” Well, clearly it worked!

Though we still don’t have a release date for the new album, in April the ‘Cold Hands’ hitmaker will kick off his North American tour. The Irish singer also mentioned that he’d be bringing a few special guests along for the ride, particularly his “best friend in the whole wide world” Lewis Capaldi and pop singer, Fletcher.

Well, we’ve got to keep our eyes peeled as artists have a habit of dropping albums before they set off on tour!
