After One Direction members parted ways in 2015, Niall Horan knew his career was far from over. Two solo studio albums later, his third, ’The Show’, is the strongest statement he has made as an artist yet.
Niall sits down with Zane Lowe to acknowledge that the global pause the pandemic caused was the first time he was able to have time off since being a teenager. This time of solitude gave Niall the time and space to reflect on his career and steer it to the next chapter.
’The Show’ is a metaphor for the craziness of his career, with songs like “Never Grow Up” and “If You Ever Leave Me” dealing with the struggles of being an adult in today's world. Niall also comments on the ongoing rumors of a One Direction reunion, what the legacy of the band means to him, and his plans to tour.

Thanks for having Niall on here Zane!

My life would be sadder without your music Niall. Especially this last year when things have been hard for me, I've played your music over and over. So excited for Friday. 🎉

He was so nervous playing with his hands and picking his nails just want to hold his hand and be like it’s okay

@teetertotter5787 11 ай бұрын

Our unproblematic king. Love this man and who he has become. What the 1D boys went through during those intense 5 years is absolutely mind-blowing and the fact that they didn't even register it themselves is stunning.

@romelbaday7622 11 ай бұрын

This is my favorite Niall interview so far aside from that one with Tom Power. Niall is charming, personable, and always going for the lighter side of things, you can see a little bit of discomfort when Zane wants to see vulnerability. (Also maybe it’s about that “media training” 🙄). But as the interview went on, we got to see Niall’s worldview a lot more.

I agree. Much more in depth. Human.

42:02 For those wanting to hear reunion and/or 1D talk and are hoping and/or losing hope… I found this to be a very positive outlook while still not having an answer yet. I had been getting worried that he was getting so tired of the questions that he might not even want to ever reunite.

I don't believe in a near reunion anymore. What we might get is reunion for a tv show, where they watch and comment old performances, where they are joking around and tell some anecdotes. Maybe jamming a little. But a full reunion in the meaning of recording a new album and going on tour for several months... no I don't think this will happen soon.

This young man and his former band mates literally helped me get through the pandemic. Their lives , and little shows , the collaborations were all incredible. That’s how I became such a fan . I wish them massive success personally and professionally

@pinkrebel8412 11 ай бұрын

I never realized until Zane had him on his plate, that Niall avoids the depths of the uncomfortable. And its beautiful that Niall seems a bit anxious or unrelaxed and Zane pulls out that guitar and settles the tension from him. You can actually feel Niall's breath change. That was very kind.

@nickipierre35 11 ай бұрын

My favorite thing to do is watch a Zane Lowe interview before the album is released, then we rewatch it after listening to the album a few times. I’m so excited for The Show. Appreciate the both of you so much ❤️

@arkansas_girl846 11 ай бұрын

Amazing interview. This is the kind of interview I want to listen to. Im so sick of the surface questions that get asked every time. I want to know thoughts, feelings, emotions and experiences an artist is going through when writing. Growing up on 70's and 80's rock Niall's sound just takes me back to childhood. I can't wait for the album. Ive already ordered and bought tickets for the tour.

@carolynnfridley2483 11 ай бұрын

Same. I love who he has become and the fact he is not afraid to talk about wanting therapy and digging into his emotions I love. I can't wait for the tour next year. The date I have tickets too is only a year and 2 weeks away!

Niall has the kind of camera-shy personality of an amazing talent... I just started listening to him seriously a few months ago and I'm already in love with his sound and musical persona

My 8 yr old son really wants to see Niall in Toronto. He adores your music and plays his guitar to it every morning before school even though he doesn't know how to play.

@TashaSiera 11 ай бұрын

This is why and I’ve said this many times before but this is why I just fucking love the way that Zane Lowe has interviews artists. He gets n a deeper level without getting too personal (he respects that space) with Zane you get the real shit and no BS. We learn more about an artist through him than any other interview.

@elinlindstrommusic 11 ай бұрын

Agree! Personally I love to watch interviews but also I easily get frustrated bc of the host. I love the way Zane reaches the core without losing respect

THIS is the kind of interview i was missing from niall. we don't only want to hear about his music, but also his THOUGHTS behind it. i love to know where an artist was at in their life when they were writing, what they were going through etc. im not asking for at detailed story of every experience they went through that made this album turn out the way it did, but it makes them so much more human when you go in depth with feelings and thoughts, without getting too personal. not just the surface level stuff we hear in most interviews.

As an artist, I can see how releasing music during the pandemic must've been so frustrating. But as a fan, I am so grateful to have received that second album during such a dark time in the world. 'Heartbreak Weather' will always remind me of driving around in my car, with no destination, just listening and waiting... waiting for the world to go back to normal, not really understanding what the new normal would even look like, or when that would be. That album is a friend to me; a small token of comfort within so many unknowns. Thank you Niall.

He was SO nervous. He generally isn't at least never to such a degree. I wonder why that is... But I could see that Zane was trying to ease Niall's nerves by playing the guitar and encouraging him.

I love listening to just how an artist makes their music. I don’t want to hear about the drama and whatever else. I’ve said it so many times but I always just want to pick my idols brains on their music. How they come up with the lyrics. Or where do you find the inspiration. I love this! This is the type of interviewing that needs to be happening😌💜
