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 has peaked at number 12 on the Irish Albums Chart.

Background

In April 2018, Horan and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra recored 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".
