Niall Horan Releases Special Live AlbumWATCH VIDEO BELOWOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Simon Jones PR In April 2018, Niall Horan and his band took a brief break from their world tour to travel to Dublin to record tracks from his debut album âFlickerâ with the revered 45-piece RTĂ Concert Orchestra. The recording formed the basis of a one-off TV special, broadcast earlier this year. The music recorded that day is now being given its official release. 'Flicker featuring The RTĂ Concert Orchestra' is released today on Friday, February 1st. The nine-track album features eight reworked songs from the multi-platinum selling album âFlickerâ, including singles 'This Town' and 'Too Much To Ask', plus previously unreleased track 'So Long'. Niall says: âFlicker was an album I made that came from the heart and my heart is very much in Ireland. Recording tracks from that album with a 45-piece orchestra was a dream come true and to be able to do it at home with the RTĂ Concert Orchestra, one of the best in Europe, if not the world, was really special. âWhen recording the album, I could never get the production right on âSo Longâ. I played it in tour rehearsals one day and the band joined in with me. We ended up making a new version which sounds amazing live and has been part of our tour setlist. I love that we can finally release a version of it now.â Listen here: The RTĂ Concert Orchestra performed under conductor Gavin Murphy, who also arranged the orchestral scoring, and was led by BrĂłna Cahill.
His debut Platinum single 'This Town', released in 2016, sold more than 6 million track equivalent units globally with the follow up, 'Slow Hands', selling over 8.5 million. In October 2017, Niall released his debut solo album 'Flicker'. On release, the album hit No. 1 in the US and Ireland, Top 3 in the UK, and went to No. 1 on iTunes in a staggering 61 countries. It has since gone on to sell over 2.5 Million albums worldwide and been streamed over 2.6 BILLION times.
