Niall Horan has kept true to his promise and released a reimagined version of Flicker featuring in-studio collaborations with the celebrated RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

On Friday (February 1), the former One Direction bandmate released the new project, which saw the Irishman rerecord eight tracks off his solo album, including "This Town" and "Too Much To Ask," with the 45-piece band. In addition to the cuts, the collection also features a previously-unreleased track called "So Long." "Flicker was an album I made that came from the heart and my heart is very much in Ireland. Recording tracks from that album with a 45-piece orchestra was a dream come true and to be able to do it at home with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, one of the best in Europe, if not the world, was really special," the 25-year-old chart-topper said in a statement of the project, which was recorded in April 2018 during a brief break from his work tour.

“When recording the album, I could never get the production right on 'So Long.' I played it in tour rehearsals one day and the band joined in with me. We ended up making a new version which sounds amazing live and has been part of our tour set list. I love that we can finally release a version of it now," he continued.
