One Direction's second album will feature guitar playing from One Direction's Niall Horan. He announced the news on Twitter on July 27, 2012. Horan, who plays guitar at One Direction's concerts, did not play guitar on One Direction's first album, "Up All Night."
On July 27, 2012, Horan tweeted: "In the studio recording guitar with @carlfalkmusic! Next years tour is gona be fun ! #liveguitar."
On July 28, 2012, Horan tweeted: "What a sick day in the studio! Got loads of vocal down and recorded 2 songs! On guitar! #worldtour2013 #cantwait."
On July 27, 2012, One Direction's Liam Payne tweeted: "Studio was amazing today cant wait for the new album to be readdyyy."
Just a few days earlier, Horan's recording sessions were temporarily delayed because he lost his voice.
The title, songs and release date of One Direction's second album are to be announced, but the group and Sony Music have confirmed that the album should be released before the end of 2012. The album's first single is likely to go on sale in September or October 2012.
Songwriters who have contributed songs to the second album include Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, Savan Kotecha, Max Martin, Ed Sheeran and McFly's Tom Fletcher.
In an exclusive interview that I did with producer/songwriter Falk in May 2012, he hinted that Horan would play guitar on One Direction's second album. I asked Falk, "Does Niall play guitar on any of the new One Direction songs?" Flak replied, "Not at the moment, but you never know where we’re going to end up."

"Up All Night" has been a No. 1 hit in several countries, including the United States. In March 2012, One Direction made music history by becoming the first U.K. group to have a first album debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S.
One Direction came in third place on "The X Factor" U.K. in 2010. The group is signed to Syco Music, the record company that is co-owned by "The X Factor" executive producer Simon Cowell and Sony Music
