Louis Tomlinson announces debut album ‘Walls’

1

Former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson told fans that his debut solo album will arrive on Jan. 31.

“Walls” will feature 12 songs, including the previously issued singles “Two of Us” and “Kill My Mind”.

“Two of Us” was notably dedicated to the singer’s mother, Johannah Pulston Deakin, who passed away in December 2016 after a long battle with leukemia.

The forthcoming album will also feature the single “We Made It”, which Tomlinson unveiled on Oct. 24.

After sending his fans on a scavenger hunt around the internet, the British musician confirmed that his debut studio effort was on the way in an Instagram video.

“I’m really relieved to finally be here. Thank you very much everyone for your patience. Cheers,” he said.

As Rolling Stone pointed out, Tomlinson is the final member of One Direction to release a debut solo album.

Zayn Malik, who parted ways with his former bandmates in 2015 after five years in One Direction, unveiled his debut “Mind of Mine” in 2016. The full-length was followed two years later by his sophomore studio effort, entitled “Icarus Falls”.

Harry Styles and Niall Horan both shared their debut albums, respectively titled “Harry Styles” and “Flicker”, in 2017.

Last week, Liam Payne announced that his debut full-length, “LP1”, will arrive a few weeks ahead of Christmas on Dec. 6.

Since One Direction split up, Tomlinson has dropped several one-off singles, including the Steve Aoki-assisted “Just Hold On” and “Back to You” with Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals. RGA
