LOUIS TOMLINSON RELEASES HIS DEBUT SOLO ALBUM, WALLS TODAY!
GET WALLS HERE!
(January 31, 2020) Louis Tomlinson releases his debut solo album, Walls, today. Of the release, Louis says, “I feel like this is the start of my career, with so much to look forward to and all the plans in place. Honestly, I’ve been through every emotion possible in the past few years and come out the other side stronger and more confident than I’ve ever been. “I know I’ve made an album that my fans will like, one that sounds like me and has its own identity. There were times I wasn’t sure if this was what I should be doing. Now I can’t imagine doing anything else.”

The debut album consists of 12 tracks and is rooted in his real life on subjects ranging from his relationships to his family to the folly of youth and days of self-doubt. The album features previously released tracks, “Two Of Us,” “We Made It,” “Kill My Mind,” “Don’t Let It Break Your Heart” and “Walls.” Overall, Louis’s solo music has garnered over a BILLION streams.
Louis is also set to kick off his headlining world tour on March 9th in Barcelona, and stops in Toronto and Vancouver (see full list of dates below). Live, he’s most looking forward to performing the songs that reflect the indie-rock he grew up on and still adores today.
2019 was the year that Louis found his feet as a solo artist. He followed his award-winning return in March with “Two of Us,” which took the tragic loss of his mother as a touchstone and connected with fans around the world, with a run of acclaimed singles -the raucous “Kill My Mind,” the reflective “We Made It” and the soaring pop perfection of “Don’t Let It Break Your Heart.” 2020 is the year that Louis goes live with a 50 date World Tour, his first as a solo artist, with many dates already sold out including all the UK shows. From early March until late July, he’ll be on tour near nightly, crossing countries and continents. Earlier this year Louis headlined the Coca-Cola music festival in Madrid to an audience of 25,000 people, and recently performed to 65,000 fans at Premios Telehit in the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City. He also picked up the Best Song Award at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards for his recent single “Two Of Us,” which has so far hit 40 million streams on Spotify, with YouTube views at 23 million. In 2018 Louis won an iHeart Award for ‘Best Solo Breakout’, and an EMA Award for ‘Best UK & Ireland Act’ in 2017. He was ranked No.5 on Billboard’s emerging artists of 2018 and has over 60 million combined followers on social media. As a member of One Direction, Louis has sold over 100 million records.

About Louis Tomlinson
UK born singer/songwriter Louis Tomlinson burst on the scene with One Direction when they propelled to international success after finishing in third place on The X Factor UK. Louis released the first single off his debut solo album in March 2019 titled “Two Of Us.” The deeply personal pop ballad is his response to the passing of his mother but is the perfect track to spearhead his return to music as a solo artist. In September, he released “Kill My Mind” to both critical and fan praise. Louis has already released two hit solo collaborations; the club-ready Steve Aoki collaboration “Just Hold On,” released in 2016, and brooding Bebe Rexha duet, “Back to You,” released the following year. These two singles have garnered over 1 billion streams alone. In 2017, Louis won an EMA Award for ‘Best UK & Ireland Act.’ The following year he returned to The X Factor UK as a judge on their 2018 season. Louis’ unaffected and constructive judging style stood out during his first year as a judge, seeing him win the series. That same year, Louis won an iHeart Award for ‘Best Solo Breakout,’ and was ranked No.5 on Billboard’s emerging artists of 2018. Louis also won the 2019 Teen Choice Award for “Choice Single: Male Artist” for “Two Of Us.” He has over 60 million combined followers on social media and as a member of One Direction, Louis has sold over 100 million records. Louis honed his songwriting skills during his six years in One Direction, the most successful pop group of their generation, with record sales exceeding 50 million. One Direction were known for their incredibly infectious live shows and Louis says he’s eager to hit the road again as a solo artist.
