If you've been listening to “This Town” on repeat since it came out, you might not recognize Niall Horan on his new single “Slow Hands.”

Instead of an acoustic guitar and a metric ton of melancholy, Niall returns here with a backbeat, a little Auto-Tune, and a sizable helping of horniness. While it's not exactly dance pop, “Slow Hands” kicks up the tempo from where Niall started out and locks into a sweaty, summery groove with some meaty bass and hazy guitar licks.

Turns out he's got more cards than “sad troubadour” in his deck.
