Background
editIn 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
editLouise 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".
