Niall Horan announces new single Nice To Meet Ya
Niall Horan has confirmed the title of his new single.
Nice To Meet Ya will be released in September, co-written with RuthAnne Cunningham, who penned Niall's highest charting single Slow Hands. Tobias Jesso Jr. (P!nk, Shawn Mendes) and Julian Bunetta (Rita Ora, Clean Bandit) also worked on the track, with the latter handling production.
Niall announced the news at Capitol Congress 2019, the presentation event held by his label Capitol Records. The showcase saw Niall introduce the song, described by Billboard as "trippy" with "90s/'00s rock vibes + a bit of soul and dance".
Niall then performed another song called Put A Little Love On Me, produced by Greg Kurstin, the man behind hits like Hello by Adele and Sia's Cheap Thrills. Niall previously worked with Greg on his singles This Town and Too Much To Ask. The piano ballad was co-written with Jamie Scott (Rudimental, Justin Bieber) Mike Needle (Rag'n'Bone Man, One Direction) and Dan Bryer (Gavin James, Jessie Ware).
The County Westmeath singer also revealed that the release date for his upcoming second album is still to be considered. Niall previously stated he wasn't sure if the album would be released in late 2019 or early 2020.
As part of One Direction, Niall has scored the most Number 1 singles by a group this decade in Ireland, with all five of the band's albums hitting the top of the Official Irish Albums Chart. Niall's solo album Flicker also reached Number 1 on home soil.

I don't know I was what music you were listening to, but Niall's first solo album was a masterpiece, beautiful music. I am very proud of him!!!!!

yes Flicker's acoustic touch made my day. I added a lot of songs from Flicker to my morning playlist.

My least favourite sole effort from 1 DIRECTION...So i won't be expecting much from his 2nd opus!! BTW the second album from ZAYN really did flopped!! Went unnoticed when released in UK and USA? why is that?

It's not criticism but always remember for as long as these guys are touring and promoting their music it will work but if they will not do it just like Zayn (I know he's facing anxiety but his career is also suffering) it's not gonna work. (The reason why Niall and Harry are more successful in solo work as they toured and promoted their music) Unfortunately as a Directioner I understand that the one direction was loved and is loved by all but with solo it's completely divided the fans are divided. I like Liam and Zayn's music more because of R&B touch. I like Niall because of the acoustic touch in his tunes. Louis has heart touching lyrics but I don't think he has found himself yet. I still have a lot of respect for him after everything he has faced recently.
