Niall Horan's debut solo album outLondon, Oct 23 (AZINS) Former One Direction star Niall Horans debut solo album "Flicker" has been released.

It contains 10 original tracks.

Released by Capitol Records on Monday, the songs include "This town" and "Slow hands" and Horan's new single "Too much to ask".

"Flicker" is the result of a year-and-a-half-long writing and recording process, reports billboard.com.

"It's something that I've worked really hard on and I'm incredibly proud of it. This is the first time I've put my thoughts and emotions on paper and then onto record and it feels really good," Horan tweeted.

Horan collaborated with producers Julian Bunetta, Jacquire King and Greg Kurstin for the album.

The singer will soon be on his Flicker World Tour 2018 where he will also be performing to crowds in Europe, South America and Australasia.
