Later, on "Cross Your Mind," Horan allows himself to be played, resigned to admit, "Leaving me in pieces, but I swear it's worth it every time/Love the way you hurt me, and it doesn't even cross your mind" atop a slick bass groove and disco handclaps. On the driving "Black and White," Horan declares, "I promise that I'll love you for the rest of my life," as the drum beats pulse and guitars soar. Despite the often dour and forlorn lyrical content, the songs are full-blooded and more energetic than the average breakup album. Heartbreak Weather is a big leap forward for Horan, confident ("Nice to Meet Ya"), mature ("Bend the Rules"), and even a little seductive ("Small Talk").
Unlike his debut, which was rooted in folk-influenced rock sounds, this set frees Horan with polished production and mainstream-friendly shine, a breezy guitar-based pop sound similar to contemporary work by Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, and his former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles. With his sophomore effort Heartbreak Weather, Irish singer/songwriter Niall Horan delves into the highs and lows of the titular heartache that comes in the wake of a breakup.
