Dublin-born singer-songwriter, RuthAnne, has spoken about writing with solo artist, Niall Horan.

The 30-year-old, who started songwriting at 17 said: 'With Niall, he’s a pop artist, but he wanted to do something like Fleetwood Mac or The Eagles, so we got to write these songs that were more storytelling.'

“It was such a fun project, and such an easy project too. I’d written some songs for One Direction’s Four record and had only really met them in passing, but Niall was aware of me because he knew there was an Irish songwriter on the team. We had a session set up for their fifth album which was me, Niall and another producer and we really hit it off straight away.

“What I love about him is that he had a book of lyrical ideas. You And Me was the first song we wrote and then Seeing Blind the next day… it was so easy.

'Slow Hands was the last song for the record. When I found out I had five songs on the album, I couldn’t believe it. What I think worked is that he made the record with friends and there’s an effortless quality to it. He made a real artistic statement with it.'

LA-based RuthAnne Cunningham has also writen for Bebe Rexha, Britney Spears and Martin Garrix. She released her single, 'The Vow,' yesterday (March 23).

Horan invited RuthAnne on stage at Dublin's 3Arena earlier this month to sing "Seeing Blind" with him.
