Posted December 2, 20168 yr From The Sun: LOUIS TOMLINSON is the fifth member of ONE DIRECTION to go solo. I can reveal the megastar boyband’s most prolific songwriter has been in the studio working on his own materialThe news will delight 1D fans as it means all past and present members of the band — Louis, HARRY STYLES, LIAM PAYNE, NIALL HORAN and quitter ZAYN MALIK — will now have solo careers. Bosses at SIMON COWELL’s record label Syco are very impressed with what he has been working on and are keen for a release. New dad Louis, who runs his own record label within Syco, is the only member of the band who has stayed loyal to his X Factor mentor. Last night our source revealed: “Louis is a brilliant songwriter and had not initially planned his own solo career. But he’s been back in the studio and has been working on some really amazing music. “He’s played some to the powers that be at Syco, who are really excited. “They think he could be a real success as a solo artist, given his proven ability to write hit records and massive fanbase as part of 1D.” Louis certainly has plenty to write about. The Doncaster lad has had the most interesting life out of all of 1D since I revealed the band were going on an extended break. He became the first 1Dad in January with son Freddie Reign but dumped baby mama Briana Jungwirth and started dating US actress DANIELLE CAMPBELL. He also relocated to LA and divided his time between supporting Briana during the pregnancy and visiting his new girlfriend in Chicago.Louis missed out on the chance to join the judging panel on this year’s X Factor to focus on being a first-time dad and developing his label. In April the budding businessman added a new teen girl band to his roster, which also includes 2014 X Factor finalist JACK WALTON. The same month he made his debut as a judge alongside Simon on America’s Got Talent, earning rave reviews.It won’t be long until he is back to being the talent himself. This is a disaster as he can't sing!
December 2, 20168 yr This sounds like a disaster on paper but I have hopes that it could be good as he's definitely a good songwriter!
December 3, 20168 yr Why do I get the feeling that he's actually gonna be one of the biggest members of the band, to go solo? :lol: I don't know why, but he seems to be a lot more popular than people believe he is!! He is to 1D what Frankie is to the Saturdays, I think!
December 7, 20168 yr Rumours of Louis debuting his first single on the X Factor final this weekend, not sure if this is just fan rumours circulating or if there's an actual possibility, but Rylan's confirmed that an unannounced guest performer has an exclusive performance, so maybe there's truth? I'd be surprised but it's not impossible I guess.
December 9, 20168 yr Disaster? How immature. I, for one, can't wait to see his output; especially considering that insiders seem to be receiving it well.
April 4, 20187 yr It's a bit hard to imagine where they go from here, I guess team him up with a big name?
April 4, 20187 yr Has he actually found a sound and stuck with it? In other news I just found out my dad got into “Miss You” :P
May 13, 20187 yr This album is literally never getting released. Syco seem to think dropping singles until one is a hit is a good campaign but its not worked for him, PrettyMuch or Noah Cyrus
May 13, 20187 yr The strange thing is that Back to You actually was a hit, he's only had one flop since then and Syco haven't done anything in the 5 months since :drama:
May 13, 20187 yr The strange thing is that Back to You actually was a hit, he's only had one flop since then and Syco haven't done anything in the 5 months since :drama: Syco either seem to get their marketing on point or miss the spot massively. They released Miss You at a poor time and it in hindsight it did not have that much widespread appeal. Reckon they need to get a feature with him for it to take off.
July 7, 20196 yr @1147869256295387137 @1147880508900040705 It's been a while since Two of Us now so hopefully we get the new single ASAP! These huge gaps are really not helping his momentum :(
July 7, 20196 yr Hopefully we get a new single followed by an album (some time in the very near future!). It's going to feel really weird now having the likes of Back to You on an album if he does decide to include them. :lol:
October 12, 20195 yr Looking forward to this! It'll be interesting to see how it does, he does have a very large fanbase - it's just that the public appeal hasn't crossed over in a while to give him a hit. @1183010250145882112
October 12, 20195 yr Releasing at the quieter time is the best situation here as it will help the album achieve a higher chart position.
