NIALL HORAN’S NEW ALBUM, HEARTBREAK WEATHER, SET FOR MARCH 13 RELEASE ON CAPITOL RECORDS
New Single And Video, “No Judgement,” Out Now!
Pre-Order Launches For Heartbreak Weather, Named As One Of 2020 Most Anticipated Albums By Rolling Stone.
On March 13. Capitol Records will release Niall Horan’s new album, Heartbreak Weather – the follow-up to his 2017 No. 1 album, Flicker. Horan shared his new single, “No Judgement,” along with the official video. Horan wrote the song with Julian Bunetta, Tobias Jesso Jr., John Ryan, and Xplicit. Bunetta, his frequent collaborator, produced “No Judgement.” Download/stream HERE.
Reflecting on the new track, Niall Horan said, “When you’re with me, there’s no judgment. There are enough people judging, so you don’t need to be judged by me.” The official video for “No Judgement” was helmed by MTV VMA-winning director Drew Kirsch (Taylor Swift, John Legend, AFI) and shot in Los Angeles.
“When I listen to albums, I like to listen to them start to finish. With Heartbreak Weather, I wanted to tell the story that was in my head, hopefully, lead people down the storytelling lane of an album tracklisting versus just ‘I’m gonna skip to the next one,’” explains Horan. “I was trying to think about how I could write a different album than the usual…I wanted to write songs from different sides or from someone else looking in.”
Rolling Stone placed Heartbreak Weather on its list of the 70 Most Anticipated Albums of 2020 and praised Horan’s recent “Saturday Night Live” performances of “Nice To Meet Ya” and “Put a Little Love on Me.” Heartbreak Weather is now available for pre-order HERE. Fans who pre-order the album in digital format will instantly receive “No Judgement” plus the album’s first single, “Nice To Meet Ya,” and “Put a Little Love On Me.”
“Nice To Meet Ya,” which has amassed more than 300 million streams globally, has been heard in “The Bachelor” and tapped for a Chipotle digital ad campaign. TIMEobserved, “The tune is grounded by his easygoing hum and a confident, low-key lyrical delivery. But it’s a pop song through and through, with a catchy rock inflection to boot.”
Horan will launch an extensive tour in support of Heartbreak Weather on April 20 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN. The North American leg will include shows at Barclays Center in New York (April 29) and The Forum in Los Angeles (May 18). The Nice To Meet Ya world tour will include performances by special guest LEWIS CAPALDI plus FLETCHER. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.niallhoran.com.See below for itinerary.

With his full-length solo debut Flicker (Capitol Records), he achieved massive global success and widespread critical acclaim.
