Background and recording

[edit]

Horan announced the album on 7 February 2020 alongside the release of the third single "No Judgement", and stated in a press release that with the album, he wanted to "tell the story that was in my head, hopefully lead people down the storytelling lane of an album track listing. [...] I wanted to write songs from different sides or from someone else looking in."[4] Horan took inspiration from the work of Bruce Springsteen[5] as well as the Arctic Monkeys and The Weeknd.[6] The album was recorded from October 2018 to January 2020.[7][8]

Heartbreak Weather received generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 63, based on eight reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[26]

AllMusic's Neil Yeung reviewed the album positively, stating that the production of the album was better than Horan's 2017 debut album, Flicker, adding that "despite the often dour and forlorn lyrical content, the songs are full-blooded and more energetic than the average breakup album".[1] Chris DeVille, writing for Stereogum, stated that the album is "much better" than Flicker, commenting that Heartbreak Weather's writing, production, and performance all represented "an upgrade". However, he felt that "Horan is capable of evolving" but added that "such flourishes suggest this boy-band alumnus may someday grow up to be the man after all — or at the very least he won't be desperate for a reunion tour". Jason Scott, writing for American Songwriter, named the record "a stylistic leveling-up" while complimenting Horan's take on heartbreak.[32] Michael Cragg of The Guardian highlighted that the album contains "hints of experimentation, such as the swaggering hybrid of Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian in "Nice To Meet Ya", but it's the excellent title track's flirtation with glossy, synth-tinged MOR that suggests where Horan might be headed next. Proof that it's often the quiet ones you need to keep an eye on".[27] Mike Wass, writing for Idolator, wrote that the record "just might be pop's first, feel-good breakup album" and that "there's no sophomore slump here" while calling it "a winning collection of love songs from multiple perspectives with very few skips."[33]

Some reviews were more mixed. Mark Kennedy of the Associated Press called the album an "overall bright collection" and felt that Horan made "14 perfectly fine tracks, if not volcanic ones" and that it "is in no way a disaster" but that "it's just not an improvement on his debut effort".[34] Ella Kemp of NME called the album "a mixed bag" and felt that there was "a great voice let down by some not great songs", writing that Horan's "lyrical landscape is somewhat thinner and the production even more impenetrable" than that of Flicker. She concluded by complimenting Horan's "incredible" and "convincing" voice, adding that the album "isn't an entirely lost cause, but one to build upon for a more inspiring future all the same".[29] Adam White, writing for The Independent, described Heartbreak Weather as "a tranquilliser of an album that only occasionally sparks to life" and "largely drab", explaining that Horan "struggles to define his musical identity on his shiny if haphazard second album" which is "entirely stuck on safe mode". Nevertheless, White specifically praised "New Angel" and "Arms of a Stranger", calling the latter "concert-ready and irresistibly shiny".[28] Writing for The Telegraph, Neil McCormick felt like the album lacks "any particular character" and that "everything sounds like something you might have heard somewhere before", stating that the record is "the closest thing to a One Direction album since the band split".[30] Ed Power of the Irish Examiner wrote that Horan "ticks the boxes but doesn't cause a storm".[35] Quinn Moreland, writing for Pitchfork, felt that Horan "spends too much of the record bouncing between sounds and songwriting concepts to feel distinct" but did compliment the album's final track, "Still," calling it "the realest, rawest moment on the record and a small bit of proof that Horan has the potential to make it on his own."[2]

The record, which serves as a follow-up to his debut solo effort Flicker (2017), features 14 tracks blending pop-rock, folk, and influences, with Horan handling lead vocals, guitar, and piano across much of the material. The album narrates the emotional arc of a deteriorating relationship from both partners' perspectives, inspired by Horan's own breakup experiences during its creation. Key singles include the upbeat lead "Nice to Meet Ya," the atmospheric "No Judgement," and the piano-driven "Black and White," which highlight Horan's growth in songwriting and production alongside collaborators like Julian Bunetta and John Ryan. Critics offered mixed reception, praising its heartfelt storytelling and melodic hooks—such as in tracks like "Dear Patience" and "Put a Little Love on Me"—while noting occasional generic elements in its pop sensibilities, with The Guardian awarding it three stars for Horan's confident evolution beyond his One Direction roots, and Pitchfork critiquing its uneven execution at 4.7 out of 10. Commercially, Heartbreak Weather debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 59,000 equivalent units in its first week and marking Horan's second top-10 entry there, while topping the and achieving number-one status in Ireland and .

Background

Announcement

On February 7, 2020, Niall Horan announced his second studio album, Heartbreak Weather, through a post on his social media accounts and an official press release from Capitol Records. The announcement revealed that the album would be released on March 13, 2020, marking Horan's follow-up to his 2017 debut Flicker. Accompanying the reveal, Horan shared a preview of the album's artwork, depicting him seated outdoors amid a dramatic thunderstorm, symbolizing the record's thematic focus on emotional turbulence. Coinciding with the announcement, Horan released "No Judgement" as the lead promotional single, available immediately across digital platforms. Pre-orders for Heartbreak Weather opened the same day, with all digital pre-orders including an instant download of "No Judgement" to incentivize early support.

Initial media coverage was widespread and positive, with outlets like , , and highlighting the swift rollout and praising the single's upbeat pop-rock vibe as a sign of Horan's evolving sound.

Inspirations

The album's creation was deeply informed by Horan's personal experiences following One Direction's 2016 hiatus, where he navigated the emotional complexities of love and heartbreak in his solo career. These themes became central to the "heartbreak weather" metaphor, reflecting the unpredictable emotional states he encountered during and after romantic breakups. Horan explained the title's conceptual origin as a representation of emotional turmoil, likening the shifting moods of heartbreak to changeable weather patterns, with each song evoking a different "forecast" in the journey through loss and recovery. This approach allowed him to explore varied perspectives on relationships, moving beyond singular narratives of pain. Building on his 2017 debut Flicker, which leaned toward introspective folk-rock, Horan sought to evolve his sound by integrating more upbeat, escapist elements into Heartbreak Weather, aiming for a confident blend of pop-rock that balanced melancholy lyrics with lively instrumentation. This shift marked a deliberate progression, emphasizing fun and resilience amid heartbreak.

Instrumentation was layered in studio environments to emphasize a live band feel, incorporating elements like out-of-tune guitars and first-take and vocals to capture organic energy, as heard in tracks like "Put a Little Love on Me." Songs underwent revisions over months; for instance, "Nice to Meet Ya" evolved through multiple iterations, with Horan taking breaks to refine ideas and avoid creative stagnation. In the aftermath of One Direction's hiatus, Horan faced challenges balancing his burgeoning solo career with personal recovery from surgery and a , alongside the pressures of "second album syndrome" following 's success. prompted extended pauses of two to three weeks, during which Horan pursued activities like golfing to regain inspiration, ensuring the album's sound remained authentic rather than chasing commercial hits. His particular approach to production—prioritizing fresh ideas early in the process—helped navigate these hurdles, resulting in a cohesive collection completed just before the album's March 2020 release.

Julian Bunetta, a longtime collaborator with Horan from his debut album , took on primary production duties for the title track "Heartbreak Weather," as well as "No Judgement" and "Bend the Rules," emphasizing dynamic rhythms and layered instrumentation to capture emotional intensity. John Ryan co-produced several cuts, including "Dear Patience" and "Everywhere," where he contributed programming, bass, and guitars to foster an introspective yet upbeat vibe. Greg Kurstin focused on tracks like "New Angel" and "Put a Little Love on Me," delivering orchestral strings and piano-driven arrangements that added depth to the album's romantic themes. Niall Horan played an active role in production decisions, co-writing every song and guiding the process to refine the pop-rock polish through iterative sessions that spanned over a year. Key co-writers included RuthAnne Cunningham, who partnered with Horan, Bunetta, and Tobias Jesso Jr. on "Nice to Meet Ya," infusing it with energetic, handclap-driven hooks. Teddy Geiger contributed as both co-writer and producer on "Black and White," providing guitars and programming to enhance its nostalgic tone.
