  • Niall Horan: The Rolling Stone Interview

    Niall Horan: The Rolling Stone Interview
    Apr 30 2026
    On a new episode of The Rolling Stone Interview podcast, writer Larisha Paul sits down with singer and songwriter Niall Horan as he gears up for the release of his new album, Dinner Party. At 32, he’s spent half of his life playing shows and releasing records, first as a member of One Direction, and for the past decade, all on his own. The past few years in particular have found him in an introspective state as he reflects on falling in love and contending with grief following the death of his former bandmate, Liam Payne. Horan processes it all through music. He approaches pop with optimism, honesty, and an exceptional ear for sharp melodies. Four solo albums in, Horan is most interested in celebrating life and love with thousands of fans each night on his increasingly ambitious tours – then retreating from the spotlight until there are more songs to play.

    Apr 8 2026
    You’ve never met a mother quite like Paul Cauthen. The outrageous Texas country singer remains proudly defiant on his new album The Book of Paul, which he says is about “the freaking trials and tribulations of Paul.” In a new episode of Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, the man known as “Big Velvet” tells us exactly what those tribulations are. He also talks about writing songs for Beyoncé, explains a lyric that dissed Kenny Chesney, and reveals where his alter-ego “Big Velvet” ends and Paul Cauthen begins. It’s a wild ride with one of country music’s most complex figures. Country is Here… Nashville is Now. Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly. Learn more about your ad choices.
