The singer confirmed his fourth solo album is on the way
Niall Horan‘s new era is about to begin. The singer confirmed he’s finished his new album, his first since 2023’s The Show.
In a post on his social accounts, Horan posted a series of photos with the caption, “Album is DONE.” Alongside the photos, he snuck in two snippets of music, the first being a few seconds of mellow acoustic, and the second featuring his hands on the piano. The title and release date have yet to be revealed.
Horan has been teasing new music since the start of the year, when he posted a video on Jan. 22 confirming he’d been in the studio. He followed that up with another video on Jan. 14, featuring him at the mic alongside several musicians. He pasted a screenshot of a fan asking about the new album over the video, and replied, “Just a little more time.”
Horan’s new album will mark his fourth solo record. Last year, he celebrated the fifth anniversary of 2020’s Heartbreak Weather with two unreleased songs (“Dress” and “Nothing”) as well as live recordings. “I can’t thank you enough for the love and support you’ve continued to show for this album all these years later,” he said at the time.
Horan recently teamed up with singer-songwriter Myles Smith for “Drive Safe.” Last fall, he sang on a new version of Thomas Rhett’s “Old Tricks.” Recalling how it happened, Horan said he heard it in the studio with their mutual collaborator Julian Bunetta. “It came on and I was instantly hooked,” he said. “I told Thomas Rhett straight up I was gutted he didn’t ask me to jump on it. I just loved everything about it, it’s a proper country song.”
