Sure enough, the former member of One Direction disclosed that he’s been working on his fourth studio album, having only recently unveiled an extended edition of his 2020 album “Heartbreak Weather,” complete with two new, unheard tracks.

In a video posted on his Instagram account on the 23rd of April, Niall greeted with, “It’s been a while, I hope you haven’t missed me too much.

Let me share some exciting news with you – I’m currently in a recording studio, working on an album!

Regarding the specific date for the upcoming album’s release, we can anticipate it to arrive quite quickly.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement but must confess, I’m unsure about the release date. However, rest assured, I’m pulling out all the stops to expedite the process and bring you something fresh from my creative realm as soon as humanly possible!

He mentioned, “You truly earned this, given your accomplishments from last year.” Completing The Show: Live on Tour in October was nothing short of amazing. “Shall we repeat the whole thing? Sounds great to me!” he suggested.

In a different video uploaded on his primary platform, the man from Ireland additionally revealed an uncommon recording of him singing “Dress” from the remake edition.

He expressed his heartfelt gratitude in a recent post for everything involved with the 5th anniversary re-release of “Heartbreak Weather”. He felt it was important to bring the album back into the limelight, hence the decision to do so.

Now that his previous album has had its share of limelight, it’s high time we focus on fresh endeavors. In fact, he’s been hinting at new tunes ever since the last concert of his global tour at Colombia’s Movistar Arena, which was more than half a year ago.

Starting tomorrow, you won’t see me around, Niall playfully mentioned on stage. “I’ll be nursing a hangover tomorrow! After that, I’ll vanish for a bit. I’m going to work on a fresh new album for you all, and I will return, I promise.

However, mere weeks following their tour’s conclusion, it was heartbreakingly confirmed that Liam, alongside bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik, received the devastating news about the untimely death of Niall. This tragic event occurred on October 16 when Niall fell off a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.

On Instagram, Niall expressed deep sorrow, saying, “I can hardly believe it, but Liam, my incredible friend, is gone.

Liam was brimming with vitality for life and enthusiasm for his work, which was contagious, as the singer of ‘Slow Hands’ put it. He was the most radiant person in any gathering and managed to make everyone around him feel joyful and safe. The laughter we shared over the years, even about trivial matters, continue to resurface amidst our sorrow. We got to realize our wildest dreams together, and I will hold dear every moment we spent.
