Niall Horan Completes Fourth Solo Album and Teases New Music Snippets

Niall Horan announced Tuesday that his fourth solo album is complete, according to a post on X. The former One Direction member did not provide a title, tracklist or release date for the project, but shared two candid photographs and brief instrumental snippets that appear to be from new songs.

One clip featured a four-second sample of a midtempo acoustic guitar track being played in the studio, while another showed Horan playing a melody on piano.

In a post from late January, Horan confirmed he was working on new music, which will follow his 2023 album, "The Show." On Feb. 14, he posted a five-second video from the studio, showing someone playing acoustic guitar and Horan recording vocals. He included a fan's question, "So... when the album?" and responded in the caption, "Just a little more time."

Horan recently released the single "Drive Safe" with British artist Myles Smith. In December, he coached Aiden Ross to victory in season 28 of NBC's "The Voice," becoming the first coach to win their first three seasons and just the second coach, after Blake Shelton, to win three consecutive seasons.

Horan has charted several singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Slow Hands" (No. 11, 2017), "This Town" (No. 20, 2016) and "Heaven" (No. 62, 2023). His debut solo album "Flicker" reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2017. His second album, "Heartbreak Weather," peaked at No. 4 in 2020, and "The Show" reached No. 2 in 2023.
