Niall Horan - The Show

 

Irish singer and One Direction member Niall Horan's 2023 solo release The Show

Featuring "Heaven," "Meltdown" and "The Show"

"Overall, this is undoubtedly Niall Horan's finest and most mature album to date — and was certainly worth the wait." — Clash Music

"This new collection finds Horan moving towards the lusher production sound of his former bandmate Harry Styles. Laurel Canyon references mingle easily with Eighties synth-pop and Noughties guitar rock. It's beautifully cohesive." — The Independent (U.K.)

The Show is Irish singer Niall Horan's third solo album and first since 2020's chart-topping Heartbreak Weather. Preceded by its lead single "Heaven," the album matches the pure emotion of his globally beloved past work with a powerful new element of soul-searching reflection.

It had been three long years since his last release when Niall Horan sat down at his piano to compose the beginnings of The Show. The smoky title track draws the curtain on Horan's latest pursuit, underlying the premise for the project as a whole, writes American Songwriter. 

"It's important to find other ways of saying things," Horan told the magazine. "That is where the concept made the songs broader."

"I feel like it sounds like an album that a 29-year-old would release," he adds. "I could have kept releasing the same stuff as I did before, but I feel like when my new influences come into play it's (inevitably) gonna sound just a little more mature."

The pandemic halted Horan's tour in support of Heartbreak Weather; his long-awaited return to the live circuit has made The Show all the more special.
