    Niall Horan is an underrated musician. This album is so perfect, the lyrics and the different songs that are there.. it tells a story, its a whole album. I feel bad that the release date was the same as the pandemic because it deserved so much more. Niall is an amazing songwriter and singer, hoping to hear more from him soon

    Las canciones tienen un ritmo pegasoso e inmediatamente cuando lo escuchas te envuelve por tan buena letra

    Tiene maravillosas canciones que te llevan a una montaña de emociones. Cuenta una historia acerca del inicio de una relación y el fin de esta. Uno de los mejores trabajos de Niall, lastima que lo tengan tan devaluado.

    Heartbreak Weather is a better album than Flicker, the 2nd best album of 2020 in my opinion

    This album showcases the many different aspects of a breakup and has an clear storyline. The songs range from ballads to uptempo pop songs, and shows off Niall's versatility and vocal range. This is definitely one of his best works yet!!

    Easily the best album of 2020!! His musicianship skills are beautifully shown and the instrumental composition in put a little love on me deserves a special mention!! I got the chills when all the violins came in

    Horan has escalated my expectations with this album. Saddening that I found it so late. He's definitely outperformed his first solo album in every sense- lyrically, vocally, the creativity. Not only this but he's also outperformed his ex-bandmates (the other two that are still relevant).

    HBW é melhor que o primeiro álbum pela produção mais ambiciosa, pelos vocais mais trabalhados e pela organização do álbum em si (em torno de um conceito específico, com a ordem das músicas super bem pensadas etc). Em termos das letras, HBW tem um nível semelhante ao Flicker, embora eu prefira o álbum debut nesse sentido. De toda forma, é um álbum bem sólido, mal posso esperar pelo terceiroHBW é melhor que o primeiro álbum pela produção mais ambiciosa, pelos vocais mais trabalhados e pela organização do álbum em si (em torno de um conceito específico, com a ordem das músicas super bem pensadas etc).

    Even with a bruised heart, he's a charmer. [Apr 2020, p.87]

    After all the sentimental rigamarole, it’s tough to come away from Heartbreak Weather feeling any closer to Horan. He spends too much of the record bouncing between sounds and songwriting concepts to feel distinct.

    There are hints of experimentation, such as Nice to Meet Ya’s swaggering hybrid of Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, but it’s the excellent title track’s flirtation with glossy, synth-tinged MOR that suggests where Horan might be headed next. Proof that it’s often the quiet ones you need to keep an eye on.
