    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.

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

    This album is really my favorite of Niall Horan, there are people who will say that it is basic and boring, but it is not about listening and coming to the conclusion that the album is boring, the songs have to be enjoyed and their lyrics analyzed. depth. Songs like "Arms of a Stranger", "Still" and "New Angel" are perfect and elevate the quality of the album.

    Horan has escalated my expectations with this album. Saddening that I found it so late. He's definitely outperformed his first solo album in every sense- lyrically, vocally, the creativity. Not only this but he's also outperformed his ex-bandmates (the other two that are still relevant).

    HBW é melhor que o primeiro álbum pela produção mais ambiciosa, pelos vocais mais trabalhados e pela organização do álbum em si (em torno de um conceito específico, com a ordem das músicas super bem pensadas etc).

    Este nuevo album de Niall es conciso, fuerte, muy bueno, Niall juega con su voz más que en el Álbum anterior, al igual que las producciones de cada canción se sienten bien cuidadas las letras son sencillas pero la forma en la que están escritas, demuestran que Niall es un gran Autor, lo único que cambio del álbum es el es el cómo están acomodadas las canciones

    This album is much better than Harry Styles "Fine Line", why do I make this comparison? For obvious reasons, but ex 1D.

    Niall delivers good lyrics, good music, good voice!

    Great beats and great lyrics, it starts off with my favorite song of the album with Heartbreak Weather’s title track and it is one of my favorite songs that has started off an album in quite awhile. It then continues onto more songs about relationships, which would be my only criticism of the album. Relationships are great to sing about but I would like to see some more variety of topicsGreat beats and great lyrics, it starts off with my favorite song of the album with Heartbreak Weather’s title track and it is one of my favorite songs that has started off an album in quite awhile.

Relationships are great to sing about but I would like to see some more variety of topics of songs but that would be the one complaint. He paces his songs well and knows where to put his strong songs to keep his album flowing. Great second effort for Niall and continues to show he’s the most talented musically of his 1D counter parts.… Expand

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Heartbreak weather is an excellent album. It creates an entire context and atmosphere of what a heartbreak looks/feels like. The name of the album already introduces that idea. Heartbreak weather symbolizes the mix of emotions involved and Niall, through the album, approaches the subject from many different perspectives. Tracks like new angel and arms of a stranger talk about the getting over phase while tracks like black and white and nice to meet ya show the excitement and even a little inocence from when you are on a good place in yout relationship. Those changes of point of view make the album fun and dynamic. In terms of lyrics the album is also amazing, as we can see, for example, in dear patience, where Niall personificates a feeling and has a conversation with it in an extraordinary well written song. Basically, Niall is a storyteller and he does it very well: with a clear concept, he is really able to emerse the listeners into the situations he talks about and that´s what makes the album so involving. My only reservation is about the linearity of the story, wich I think could have been better done. Despite the concept is very clear, the sense of time, cause and consequence can be a little lost, wich could easily be fixed just by changing the order of some songs like no judgement, that would make more sense in the beginning of the album than in the end since the start with black and white (the song heartbreak weather is more like a presentation of the concept) expresses the joy while the relationship is good and the end with still symbolizes the melancoly of admitng that getting over is hard. Summarizing, heartbreak weather is an outstanding involving album and Niall is definitely in a better place as a solo artist than he has ever been. Hope to hear more from him soon and excited about what is coming next.… Expand

    Even with a bruised heart, he's a charmer. [Apr 2020, p.87]

    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.
