“The Show” combines the authenticity of the One Direction alum’s 2017 debut, “Flicker,” with the full-bodied melodies of 2020’s “Heartbreak Weather.”
At times, 29-year-old Horan is in over his head. He feels like he’s “sinking, overthinking” on the cathartic “Science,” while the top-down groove “If You Ever Leave Me” warns a lover with one foot already out the door, “Hope you know that you’re sentencing me to a life on my knees.”This is the One Direction alum’s third solo album.
And it does. Bolstered by a piano and string section, the bewitchingly cinematic title track embraces unpredictability, with Horan learning to “hold tight, get ready for the ride” and trust the path he’s on.has helped with his soul-searching. He sings about the ecstasy of love at first sight on the synthy, The 1975-esque “Save My Life” and takes infatuation to another level as he promises to follow his partner “’til there’s no tomorrow” on the folky “You Could Start a Cult.
But even when things seem to be going his way, Horan recognizes he’s his own “worst enemy” on the introspective closer, “Must Be Love.” He describes himself as a “specialist at overthinkin’ everything” in relationships and admittedly struggles to “keep it simple and follow [his] heart.” It’s perhaps the most candid confession on an album full of them.
