Niall Horan Previews Making of 'Flicker' Short Film

(Radio.com) Niall Horan's journey to solo stardom is documented in On the Record: Flicker, an Apple Music short film that follows him through the songwriting and recording process.

Niall's debut album Flicker drops October 20, the same day On the Record will debut on the streaming platform. The doc takes fans behind the scenes as Horan works to bring his solo vision to life.

"I always knew that if I ever made a solo album what it would sound like," Horan says in a trailer. "I spent the last year and a half between the four walls of a studio and I'm ready to go and show how proud of the album I am."

Niall says Flicker traces the journey of a teenager from Ireland, from an adult perspective. Filmmakers recruited one of Horan's biggest influences to appear in the movie: Don Henley. In a brief clip, Henley says of Niall: "I'm looking forward to watching him grow." Watch a preview of On the Record: Flicker here.

The Oak Ridge Boys Release 'Celebrate Christmas' Album

(Webster) The Oak Ridge Boys have made their holiday album, Celebrate Christmas, available at the 600+ locations of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.

No stranger to Yuletide musical offerings over their career - this being their seventh, the disc features many timeless holiday classics such as "Away In A Manger" and "Joy To The World," with a few new songs thrown in for good measure. New songs include the breathtaking "Come To The Manger" and the endearing "Rest In You Tonight."

Longtime tenor singer Joe Bonsall says that finding the right mix of the past and the present is a must. "First of all, we have to find songs we've never recorded before and that's always challenging. Because we've done so many Christmas albums over the years, there aren't a lot of classics left. Duane (Allen) works hard to find songs, whether it's for a regular project, a Gospel project or a Christmas project. We try to mix it up, and that's always been our goal." Read more here.

Lady Gaga Shares Message of Kindness

(Radio.com) Lady Gaga took to social media on Tuesday afternoon (October 10th) to share a message on the importance of kindness for World Mental Health Day.

"Kindness Matters: Youth with high mental health inventory scores are significantly more likely to describe their environments as kind. 79% of 'mentally healthy' high schoolers say their schools are kind places," she wrote.

"However, 61% of youth describe themselves as stressed and 1 in 4 say they are nervous all or most of the time," she continued. "90% of youth think mental health is an important priority but less than half talk about it with anyone. These statistics are highlights from a 'Kind Communities Survey' done by @btwfoundation [Gaga's Born This Way Foundation] with Benenson Strategy Group. It focused on youth (15-24) and parents to explore the factors that impact youth mental wellness including their relationship and environment."

"So simply, #BeKind," she concluded. See both posts here.
