Niall Horan sends fans into a frenzy with forthcoming album update

The long-awaited news for fans has been finally revealed by pop star Niall Horan,  and it is quite a big one.

On February 24, the former One Direction member took to his Instagram a carousel of studio shots with a very simple but exuberant note, "Album is DONE."

The minute post immediately went viral, particularly because in one of the videos, he is softly playing the piano, indicating the emotional context of the next record.

A second clip the Irish singer-songwriter in-studio video where there is an instrumental track being played in the background indicating that the project is currently in its final production phases.

The fourth solo studio album, provisionally titled NH4, will be released in 2026, although the date of the release has not been disclosed.

This age bracket has already been teased by Niall to sound more mature, as that is what his life and mentality were at the age of 32.

He also has returned to the studio with his long-time collaborator Julian Bunetta who has produced legendary pop hits including collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on the hit Espresso.

In the meantime, his most recent cooperative work with Myles Smith named Drive Safe has contributed to the anticipation.

It is pertinent to mention that it remains uncertain whether it will be included in the final tracklist.
