Hello! Welcome to my channel
and today we have a problem, dear viewer!
And what exactly is this problem? I'll explain to you!
In a video that I talked about Harry Styles' album,
I said I would make videos about One Direction guys' albums as they release it,
because it would be a massive video if I waited to make a video talking about all their albums at the same time.
But what is happening now? Well, we have an album that wasn't launched,
but we already know the songs.
So I was confused if I should make a video or not,
and I decided to make it to explain how it's possible that we have an album but don't have it at the same time.
So, on July 10th Niall Horan announced that he'd be doing some Flicker Sessions
all over the world.
In these Flicker Sessions Niall will be in 9 countries and 21 cities,
one of them being Rio de Janeiro here in Brazil.
And one thing that we could observe since this announcement is that the Flicker Sessions wouldn't be massive,
they're going to be kind of intimate.
The place where the concert is going to be here in Rio de Janeiro has room for 4k to 5k people,
and is one of the biggest venues of the Flicker Sessions.
Some venues have room to 2,5k people only!
And only with this information we could see that the Flicker Sessions would be a little different from what we're used to.
The tickets started being sold the next week of the announcement
and some people bought tickets without knowing what to expect of these Flicker Sessions.
That's because untill the announcement Niall only had two official songs,
'This Town' that is calm, romantic, but very beautiful and good to listen to;
and Slow Hands that is a cheerful song, sexy, totaly different from This Town;
and we also knew another song called On The Loose,
that Niall performed before in some radio event, I don't know...
but that was never officially launched
and I was very silly... I said I wouldn't listen to it before it was officially launched. Poor me!
But the Flicker Session #1 was dated to August 29th
and I was hoping Niall would launch his album before it.
He announced the Flicker Sessions on July 10th,
until August 29th there would be plenty of time to launch an album.
But what happened my dear viewer is that August 29th came and this album wasn't launched at all!!
On Flicker Session #1, in Dublin - Ireland, country where Niall was born,
we found out what were the intentions Niall had with these Flicker Sessions:
he wants to perform the album Flicker (that named the 'sessions' and is also a name of a song)
to the fans before launching the album per se.
The last Flicker Session is November 22nd
and we'll have to wait until then for this album being launched "officially".
And why do I say "officially" with quotation marks?
Because we have internet,
people have periscoped it, there are several videos of the Flicker Sessions here on YouTube...
If you search on YouTube you'll find the songs and the performances.
But I thought this strategy is very crazy!
At the same time that it's kind of kamikaze, because he sold tickets without having an album,
it's also wonderful because you're saying to your fans that they're important
and that you're only launching the album after some of them listened to it live,
so I think it's a very interesting idea!
The Flicker Sessions setlist has 14 songs.
I'll say the name of the songs very quickly, I don't know them all so I'm gonna read it.
We have a song called 'The Tide',
we also have a song called 'Seeing Blind' that is one of my favorites,
we also have 'This Town' that we already knew,
'Paper Houses' that I really like too,
'You and Me',
'Fire Away',
'Flicker' that is one of my favorites
and one of Niall's favorites too, given the name of the album and of the Sessions
he said is the song he liked writing the most and he's very proud about it, and the song is really cool,
there's 'Too Much to Ask' that Niall said it's gonna be the next single,
'Since we're alone',
'Mirror',
'On the loose' that one I said we already knew but wasn't launched yet,
'Fool's Gold' from One Directon,
'Slow Hands'
and 'On my Own' that he ends the concert with and all that.
Niall plays the guitar in almost every song,
I think 'Slow Hands' is the only one he doesn't play it,
and he said he doesn't know what to do with his hands while he's singing it,
just like me, I don't know what to do with these hands of mine whem I'm making these videos.
If you want my general opinion about the album,
I think it's kind of Country, kind of Folk,
I don't know how to explain it!
There are some calm songs, some very romantic songs,
and we're not getting what's goint on
because we don't know about a serious relationship Niall has had these last years,
someone that could break his heart so bad that he'd write these cool songs about,
and if you ask him he'll say he's single as f*ck,
so we don't know if these songs are inspired in his real life events
and Niall has been dating, maried, has kids and all that, but we never knew
or if he just watched a movie and got inspired about the story on the screen, who knows?
The real fact is that I like the songs, a lot!
And one of the reasons that I bought the tickets before knowing what the Flicker Sessions were about
is because I really trust Niall when we talk about music, his taste is very good!
So, I just made this video for you guys because I thought it was a very interesting marketing strategy that Niall had here
good one lad!
And now we only have 2 more albuns to talk about,Louis and Liam!
Let your comment down bellow of your thoughts about this marketing strategy as well.
And thank you so much for watching, if you liked it please leave you thumbs up!
