Flicker: Featuring the RTÉ Concert Orchestra is the first live album from Irish singer and songwriter Niall Horan. It was released on 7 December 2018 by Virgin EMI Records.[1] The album peaked at number 12 on the Irish Albums Chart and number 40 on the Australian Digital Albums Chart.
Background[]
In April 2018, Horan and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra recorded songs from Horan's debut studio album Flicker. The recording formed the basis of a one-off TV special, broadcast in early 2018.[2][3]
Critical reception[]
Louise Bruton of The Irish Times gave the album four stars: "Cleared of overproduction and an overly soft rock touch, [Horan's] voice is more confident and it takes the leads as the orchestra complements his songs".
