Niall Horan Covers British GQ Hype

Niall Horan is on the cover of British GQ Hype. The singer is on the cover of the magazine’s upcoming April issue. Highlights from his interview are below.

On whether he feels empowered by being a solo artist:“Well, I’ve been doing it for ten years, so it’s about time I took the reins. And it’s been great. Even down to the creative elements, I’ve found with the upcoming album that I’ve become a lot more creative, whether that’s writing my last video or designing the set for my tour. The whole process has been more stretched out, whereas in the band, everything was going at once. Make an album, shoot a video, bang, bang, bang. And before you knew it it was all done.”

On his songwriting: “Over the course of Flicker, I became a better writer. Going on stage every night you get to see the looks on people’s faces, so I’m almost writing songs for a live show.”

On Zayn Malik: “As long as I’ve known him, Zayn’s been the hardest man to stay in touch with. Then we had a falling out a few years ago and, to be honest, that’s just the dynamic: you have people you are friends with and people you are not.”

Heartbreak Weather will be released on March 13.
