    With Heartbreak Weather Niall Horan has shown incredible growth from his debut album Flicker. On this record he clearly had more confidence to experiment with different sounds, but he also stayed true to who he is as an artist.

My favourite thing about the album is how the songs tell a chronological story, instead of being separate. As the title describes, it gives you all the feelings that come with falling in love and then getting your heart broken. Niall once again showed that being the black sheep in a boyband won't matter in the end, it's musical talent that gets you further and will keep him in the industry for the long run! I suggest everyone to go have a listen, especially now that we're all quarantined and looking for something to do!!… Expand

    Heartbreak Weather lacks originality and substance. It is like a One D album only worse, because it is missing the better voices. Did he try to appeal to fans of the former band in attempts to score a hit? The over-production or auto tune is obvious.

    A mess... There's nothing original, the production is so claustrophobic and it makes it uncomfortable to listen to. Sometimes I didn't even understand what he was singing and the high notes are terrible and heavily autotuned. Definitely not an improvement.

    What a disaster. Cheesy, misogynist lyrics that wouldn't have been out of place in a Liam Payne song (Small Talk). He has four of the 1d songwriters so of course it sounds like a 1d album.

There’s a sense that some tracks are only a “na na na” bridge or a Liam Payne falsetto away from being potential 1D bangers, but that isn’t to suggest anything’s missing here: Horan owns the vocals and pushes himself into some new expressive territory.

While some have released mostly chaotic albums, some have sound their sound and signature in this five years since the band's hiatus announcement. This is not Horan's case.
    "Flicker", his debut album, as every other debut, gives you the right to make a very simple record with a little background band and a small production since the budget the label destins for you is very little. However, if you have been a One Direction member, this is not the case. With a big budget that could be destined to work with amazing producers, photographers and composers, Horan released in 2017 the flattest record you can imagine but was forgivable since being a solo artist was something new for him. Nevertheless, any artist's second studio album is the one that will define the rest of your career. Thus, I do not expect anything gorgeous in Niall Horan's career in a near future. You can not make the same mistake twice. "Heartbreak Weather" is focused once again in a love story and how this evolves into a breakup, using the most basic and common theme for an album once again. I don't know about you but I sometimes get too tired of this. Even though the lyrics are basic and its sound is very flat but correct, its production is amazing. Horan's voice sounds very clear and transparent and matches very well to the music. In concrete, the album begins very nicely and happens very quickly but, as you reach the seventh track, you get a bit if not very tired of this. When you reach that point it feels like you are listening to an endless 25-minute long song that doesn't add anything special to the album; it just makes it more boring if possible.
    In conclusion, "Heartbreak Weather" is a nicely produced second studio album that may define Niall Horan as this man that is not able to let the acoustic guitar get away from his hands as well as a poor man that is too afraid to make something new and fresh because he has no capacity to do so, transforming his persona into a decaffeinated European version of Shawn Mendes.    … Expand

    Niall Horan's Heartbreak Weather is truly a masterpiece. The first track is a great album opener and the evolution is clear.
    Nice work, Niall!

    You can clearly hear the growth since the last album and the way Niall has captured such a range of emotions is incredible - there's a song for every possible emotion you'll experience in a relationship.

    Assim como seu Primero álbum,Niall pôs uma tonalidade própria nas suas músicas. Apesar de ser um Pop,esse pop é diferente ,é um Pop Niall Horan.
    Podemos ver com certeza todo um trabalho sonoro,um trabalho de versos bem feito,toda uma exclusividade para seus fãs. Ele se empenha de uma maneira que não à o que falar. Que trabalho incrível.
    Viciada estou !
    Já nasceu aclamado, né more?!

    Infelizmente não dá pra dar uma nota quebrada, mas entre 9 e 10 eu acho que 10 é mais justo. Esse álbum é simplesmente incrível os vocais dele estão muito bons, senti uas músicas seriam ótimas nas vozes do Zayn, Shawn e Ed

    Still is the best song of the year so far, Small talk is a clear example of him trying new songs and the guitar in ALL of the songs was coupled with his voice perfectly.

    I think this is a solid pop album. It may not take many risks, but it's so easily enjoyable and catchy. One negative thing I would say is that there isn't much variety in the songs. They all sound pretty similar and there aren't really any standouts for me. But overall, it's a good album.

    i wish i had words to describe how surprised i am with this album, it´s been a while since the last time i listened to an album that i don´t skip at least 3 tracks, Niall you did you thing, but...i think you could´ve chosen better singles, ´cause i´d never choose "No Judgement" as a single when "Cross Your Mind" or "Arms of a Stranger" exist, but it doesn´t even change anything at all,i wish i had words to describe how surprised i am with this album, it´s been a while since the last time i listened to an album that i don´t skip at least 3 tracks, Niall you did you thing, but...i think you could´ve chosen better singles, ´cause i´d never choose "No Judgement" as a single when "Cross Your Mind" or "Arms of a Stranger" exist, but it doesn´t even change anything at all, congratulations Niall!… Expand

    After all the sentimental rigamarole, it’s tough to come away from Heartbreak Weather feeling any closer to Horan. He spends too much of the record bouncing between sounds and songwriting concepts to feel distinct.

    There are hints of experimentation, such as Nice to Meet Ya’s swaggering hybrid of Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, 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.
