#'I have a lot of pride for what he's doing' sigh. thinking of when dunkirk came out and he talked about it and how proud he is of harry #how i wish things were different because these two were a dynamic duo and i still die every time they publicly mention each other... #even though it makes me a little sad because that's now happening by default of harry's fame scale — it's inevitable being asked about #the megastar of the moment when you and him were once together in the most successful music group in pop culture. #and sad also because its excluded that harry would ever address or mention anyone in particular publicly — #so yeah.. #i understand Louis though. about his only point of reference being the other members — he talks constantly about the #dilemma of finding himself outside the band. #so i understand #also the second paragraph <3 #lt2 press #hl

Louis talking about his boy brother being away all the time.

Louis hating het harrie fanfic is my vibe! We won’t watch it either.

It’s a good article, informative and sets a certain mood around the person Louis Tomlinson is. For someone who doesn’t know anything about Louis I think it can really frame the way you look at him.

It shows what aspects of Louis’ image is being focused on. Moved on from boyband days, finding his own identity, accepting he’s not mainstream, supporting the successes of his former band mates. It’s interesting what the article doesn’t mention too which is his girlfriend, or the name of his supposed baby mama (who is called an ex-girlfriend), or the name of the kid. It’s all made to sound like a very stable and quiet private life.

But yeah, I have to admit I’m mostly pissed they used Harry’s name in the headline as click bait when it’s actually about Louis. 🙄

Ahead of the release of his second solo album Faith In The Future, the superstar singer/songwriter stars on the cover of our brand new issue, on sale October 18. Charlotte Gunn joins Louis in London to tell an epic story of how the Doncaster-born artist went from the fields of Leeds Festival, to The X Factor, phenomenal global success with One Direction and beyond.

After a career with Sony, Tomlinson is going indie, in every sense of the word. As well as revealing all about Faith In The Future, his first record for BMG, Tomlinson reflects candidly on his journey through the music business, talking label bosses, boy band life, mental health, the fans and how he wants to make a positive impact on the industry. The star is joined by BMG’s Alistair Norbury, Jamie Nelson and Lisa Wilkinson, plus manager Matt Vines.

It's the use of AFAR for me:

"It's not the fact that you're not sympathizing. You're looking after him from afar, but you're not necessarily a shoulder to cry on."

-Louis on "That's the Way Love Goes" being about (love for) and encouraging a (platonic non-sexual best) friend to move on

"We're all watching each other from afar."

-Louis on 1D

Louis Tomlinson • Alternative Press • 06.09.2022

How Louis Tomlinson had to find his purpose again to make Faith In The Future

filming a documentary about his life and his relationship with his fans.

he’s admittedly “buzzing”

Faith In The Future, which is primed for the energy of a live show and shies away from much of the acoustic aspects featured on his first record

“…has references all over it that I think say something about me, that's so much more fulfilling than having a fucking No. 1 record.”

He felt angry, frustrated, purposeless. “I wondered if this was going to be my narrative for the rest of my life, (when 2020 tour cancelled) 💔

2003 Red Hot Chili Peppers concert film Live at Slane Castle, which he viewed five times throughout lockdown. …he was able to really look inward (during lockdown).

The support from fans … made him feel a little less lost.

“…I've got a deep fucking connection with my fans. I think of it as one entity,”

“…always liked to be honest and quite literal in my lyrics, there was a weight to it emotionally, and that's not really how I carry myself as a person. I don't fucking like people feeling sorry for me,”

“… I was so reliant on other opinions,”

“…create a great live experience on the next tour,” (FITF intention)

more freedom and spontaneity to it—and most importantly, authenticity. (FITF)

“Bigger Than Me,” … “ I wanted it to feel like a statement of intent

“Out of My System,” a pulsating, punk-tinged Arctic Monkeys-inspired

“That’s The Way Love Goes” … encouraging another friend to get over the fact that he’s not in a relationship anymore

“…We're all watching each other from afar,” he smiles. “When we do see each other inevitably, it feels like not a day has passed.” (about 1D)

he was told he could have an imprint through his label at the time, Syco (the lies)

Tomlinson’s artist perspective, he believes, makes him uniquely adept in this area (discovering potential artists)

“I’m really excited about this next chapter. My first record, I’m immensely proud of it, but it was hard to work out where I stood in the industry coming out of a band the size of One Direction and exactly what One Direction were. Where I’ve got to on this record, I feel really, really proud of.”

#this fandom always gets so pressed whenever there's a leak #for me its pretty simple #leaks only reach the fandom #not the GP #so its not gonna cause any harm to the actual launch #because the fandom is gonna listen to the leak AND stream the launch #and the GP will not even know about the leak and will listen to the launch #so it makes no difference in the end lmao #lets chill #louis might be upset now but he'll get over it #and we'll support him always and either way #lt2 #faith in the future #louis tomlinson

[daisiesonafield-blog]

wtf is this video title???? there's nothing of "girls gone wild" in this video. unless you consider the fan screaming repeatedly "LOUIS DO YOU MISS HARRY???". Which btw, don't do that. On another note, when did my mans start vaping?

#ugh posting the whole pieces on my own cause every au just confuses me with how they article the extraction #. #i understand him. #and especially the euphoria thing because that was downright violation. #i hope fans don't try and place prejudgment on his repulsion because it's only natural the appeal of fanfiction to us being nothing like #what it is to its subject matter himself. #fanfiction #lt2 press

[twopoppies]

Wow he really said WMI is about the fans and another time about El? I mean, obviously the E thing is what they want us to think. Thanks to that uni reference 🙄 but if he’s then saying it’s about something else yeah sounds like he’s not too sure himself what he’s meant to say that song is for or about.

I don’t want any stunt line songs on LT2 unless it’s something along the lines of

🎶Oh I came back to town, you jetted off away” ✈️🎶

🎶 I guess that means that from today it is beard shaving day🪒 🎶

then the sound of the electric razor comes in, Louis shouts ‘oi oiii’ before an awesome guitar medley follows suit.

But yeah hopefully he’s been distancing from her for a reason, press has been stunt free for a reason, and it means we don’t have to put up with silly stunt lines for no reason

😆😆😆 your lyrics are top notch, darling. I really don’t give a shit about Eleanor. As long as they end babygate I’d put up with her as long as Louis feels he needs it.

NME August 2nd 2022

In a new interview, Louis Tomlinson shared his opinion on One Direction’s first studio album, 2011’s ‘Up All Night’, revealing that he’s not particularly fond of it after 11 years.

Last Monday (July 25), Tomlinson appeared as a co-host on the Australian radio station Nova FM’s program Smallzy’s Surgery, where in the opening moments of the episode, he pointed out that One Direction had formed exactly 12 years earlier.

When the show’s primary host, Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small joked that he was  “late to the party”, having first interviewed the boy band in 2012,  Tomlinson quipped back that “the first album was shit anyway”.

‘Up All Night’ was released in November of 2011, and although it  earned a mixed reception from critics, it became a global smash hit.  With the singles ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ (which has a cumulative 31  Platinum certificates between six countries), ‘Gotta Be You’ and ‘One  Thing’, the album peaked at Number One on charts in seven regions (as  well as Number Two in the UK), and racked up a total of 22 Platinum  certificates across seven countries.

The album remains One Direction’s most successful, with each of their  subsequent four albums – the most recent of which was 2015’s ‘Made In  The A.M.’, which arrived a year before the band announced their  indefinite hiatus – selling less copies than its predecessor.

Tomlinson appeared on Smallzy’s Surgery to plug his current world  tour, which wraps up with a trio of sold-out dates in Italy at the  start of September. Have a listen to his full episode below:

link to Smallzy interview on Spotify

Elsewhere in the chat, Tomlinson spoke about his upcoming second solo  album, which is yet to be formally detailed. Hyping it up, he told  Smallzy: “I’ve enjoyed [making this album] 20 times more than the first  album.

“I think there’s still pressure for me to deliver a good record but  there was just so many different opinions on the first album and me  trying to find my feet coming out of a band the size of One Direction.  So I feel like I’ve been able to look at this record with a bit more  clarity.”

Tomlinson’s first solo effort was 2020’s ‘Walls’, which earned a three-star review from NME’s Ella Kemp.  There, she wrote that “the album’s Oasis-imitating title track  indicates his headstrong ambition, the neat major-minor key changes just  about sophisticated enough to pull at your heartstrings”.

“He’s perhaps taking the time to find himself properly before  launching into a boisterous future,” Kemp continued. “He may be looking  back on what he loved – both the history he helped make and the one that  shaped him – before rebuilding something new. There are the foundations  here for a rewarding future.”

[O]ne particular track that Tomlinson is most pleased with is “Silver Tongues,” a joyful and wholesome moment that honors the little intricacies of his relationship. Once completed, he boldly stated it was the first time Tomlinson had written a song that he could imagine being sung by an artist that he is really fond of.

This is one of the Theo Hutchcraft co-writes I’m not ready!
