Why Niall Horan Says His New Album Is His 'Most Mature' Yet
The Voice Coach releases his third solo project this summer—and there's a tour.
Niall Horan is dropping a new album!
Dubbed “The Show”, it will be The Voice Coach's third studio album to date. His previous solo works are 2017’s “Flicker” and 2020’s “Heartbreak Weather”. While he was a member of the hit boy band, One Direction, the group released five albums.
In an interview with NBC Insider, Horan opened up about his creative process on constructing the new album.
“I would say for the new stuff, there is some experimentation going on. Yes, just stuff I've gathered over the years, you know, like ideas that I've had, things that I've learned influenced me, I'm starting to hear them all already come through my music. So consciously, naturally, whatever you want to call it, it's just kind of happening,” he told us. “It feels really good. Feels the most mature. Again, I haven't released music since I was 25 or 26, and to be closing in on 30, I think you just gather more information as you go. So I'm starting to hear all of that stuff [in] my music. And what I'm saying is a bit more grown up I guess. And I wanted the sound of that to match what I'm saying. So I think it's my favorite stuff. And the best stuff that I've made,” he continued.

Is Nial Horan going on tour in 2023?

The first single off of the album is a tune called “Heaven.” He also explained to NBC Insider why he chose to release that particular tune first. “I think once you've listened to heaven, you've got an idea of what you're going to get. There's a couple of obscure sounds in there as well. But the concept, the sound, you know, just the through line through the album was very loud,” he said.
Watch The Voice on NBC Mondays at 8/7c and Tuesdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock.
