I did not get very far but that seemed to start really rough?
I know ONTD tends to have blinders on when it comes to Niall cuz he's charming and inoffensive enough but I feel like this era has lowkey started a bit rough for him. I think his team/label was sure that NTMY was gonna be a SH like hit but it's not taking off nearly the same way and they are throwing everything at it with radio play, discounts and remixes with bigger names. His North America tour dates with Lewis Capaldi went onsale last week and the early sales are not good if not outright bad. Most of the venues don't even have a sizeable dent sold yet and all but one show already has bulk ticket sale deals most for under $20. It just seems like the wheels are maybe falling off a bit or his team/label are just overestimating/overboking him
Lol I winced at the first few moments of circles and just skipped through to see if it got better and it stayed middling to bad, his own song sounded better within his own limitations.
You're going to bring out all the people who swear Niall has the best career out of all of them! White men with guitars who are deemed nice and harmless always get talked up so much even if their talents and performance are mostly pedestrian. He did manage to turn that horrendous snoozefest of a debut song into a 2x platinum seller by sheer doggedness and performing it at every single show he could for a year, he might drag this through as well, but Slow hands has really been his biggest and most noticeable hit and I don't know if he can replicate it.
It was crazy that he promoted the hell out of his debut for the better part of year but at least at the time you could tell he was trying to get ahead of the others. His radio support is frankly kind of insane for the numbers he pulls elsewhere so I could see this song being at least a moderate hit on the back of that support.
With tour already scheduled for next year how much of that promo is he gonna be able to do though. Especially if he's already facing an uphill battle trying to sell tickets. I just don't see how that is sustainable long term. He already discounted the hell out of his tour tickets last year. If he does it 2 tours in a row I don't get how is anyone making any $.
My friend and I had so much fun at his last tour but when we saw the prices for this one? No way. Especially after the last tour’s tickets resold for half the cost.
Still holding out for a drop. I can’t justify $150 for a Niall Horan concert. The price of concert tickets are disgusting.
There's something so raw and sharp about his voice when he tries to do higher notes or most things that are not at his lower register, but his lower register is fine. Nice to Meet ya is catchy too but could have done with some more body in the song itself. I have to say though that I think he's put in a lot of work on his voice because I've seen videos of 1d concerts and he sounded horrifying back then, he was on Louis' level and he's definitely not there anymore. Their vocal coach might have been awful in the band but it looks like he found someone better and put work into improving his voice, which is well done of him.
