Flicker Sessions – 2017
Fresh from the huge success of his global smash hit “Slow Hands” Niall Horan today announces that he will embark on the Flicker Sessions 2017.
Niall has spent the past year working on his debut solo album and is set to bring new music to his fans in a series of intimate shows. Opening on his home turf in Dublin, the tour will travel to London, Stockholm, Sydney and Tokyo before making its way to Los Angeles on September 19. Niall will then stop in Mexico and Rio de Janeiro before crossing North America, starting with Philadelphia on October 29 and ending the run in San Francisco on November 22.
Niall has sold over 70 million records as part of the all-conquering One Direction and has toured the globe numerous times. His debut Platinum single “This Town,” released in the fall of 2016, has sold more than three million track equivalent units globally and has been certified Platinum in Australia. Combined streams now surpass 350 million worldwide. The Los Angeles Times said, “The guitar ballad is a tender, swoon-worthy number” and Entertainment Weekly hailed it as “a wistful tale of young love lost”.
He followed up the ballad’s release with the grittier R&B-infused track “Slow Hands,” which went straight to Number One in 44 countries, and continues to climb the charts around the world. Line of Best Fit said “He’s shed his squeaky clean onesie and donned a crooner coat, giving us one of the coolest, catchiest choruses of 2017 in the process.”
In Australia, “Slow Hands” was a Double Platinum hit, an ARIA No. 2 and a Top 2 airplay single. Co-written by Niall and produced by Julian Bunetta, ‘’Slow Hands’’ shows off his assured vocals and a languorous guitar rhythm, a nod to the early 80s music that has influenced him in recent times.
