The cover of Niall Horan’s album will make you do a double-take

Did you spot this?

Am I… am I seeing that right?

That will be your first (and repeated) thought every time you look at Niall Horan’s debut solo album cover.

Obviously, we here have loved Niall since his One Direction days and we’re delighted that he’s now out on his own.

We’ve really dug his solo singles so far, ‘Slow Hands’ and his new one ‘Too Much To Ask’, and now that he’s released the title and artwork for his debut album… we’ve got some questions.

You see it too, right?

That album title is… yes, okay, technically it says ‘Flicker’, but with the typography in all caps, it does basically say ‘FUCKER’, right?

Now, did Niall see this and think “Yes, that’ll do nicely. A funny play on words, big fan”?

Or did, literally, this design pass through tens – if not hundreds – of people and not one person say “Eh… chaps? That says Fucker. I know it says Flicker, but it says Fucker. Should we give the design another go around?”

We should probably just be happy he didn’t title the album ‘Clint’, and leave it at that…
