Like his other One Direction buddies, Niall Horan has gone solo. And while we've already heard his debut track 'This Town', apparently the album will be folk-pop.
Niall's been inspired by the likes of Fleetwood Mac for the record, and told Entertainment Weekly: "Whenever I would pick up a guitar, I would always naturally play chords like that, and finger pick a lot and play that folky kind of style."
Interesting. 1D fans needn't lament just yet though, as he's still sticking to his pop roots.
Niall said his solo record will have a "folk-with-pop feel to it" and added that "some of the songs are heavier than others".
"I play a bit of electric on some tracks and we obviously played around a lot with percussion stuff to build up the songs so there was a lot of things going on percussion wise," he said.
Niall also confessed that singing without his One Direction bandmates had been tough, explaining: "The biggest challenge of making the album was making sure I could sing for that long.

"I did write the songs in my key so I didn't try to make it too difficult for myself."
Meanwhile, Niall recently suggested to fans he's been battling pneumonia (or something similarly nasty). Get well soon, Niall!
