Louis Tomlinson says he will be “expecting a few texts” from his former One Direction bandmates when his new album comes out later this year. The singer, 30, said that following the group’s split in 2016, its members have each “embraced what we love musically” and he was “proud” of his own solo career.
Tomlinson’s second album Faith In The Future, will be released in November and follows his recently released single Bigger Than Me. Speaking on BBC’s The One Show about his recent world tour dates and upcoming album, he said: “I feel like I’ve been working towards that moment for a long time and this feeling that I’m feeling now it’s definitely the best professional year I’ve had in a long time or across my whole career.
“Because I came out of a band the size of One Direction, my first album – I’m immensely proud of it but there’s a lot of room for overthinking when you come out of a situation like I did. So actually I had more clarity on this album, I felt more comfortable saying this is who I am as an artist.”
