LOUIS TOMLINSON NEW ALBUM “HOW DID I GET HERE?” OUT NOW, ALONG WITH NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR SINGLE “IMPOSTER”
LISTEN TO ALBUM HERE
Global chart-topping music artist Louis Tomlinson today releases his third Album ‘How Did I Get Here?‘ here, along with the music video for his new single ‘Imposter‘ starring James Nelson-Joyce. Watch here!
For his third album Louis has pushed himself as a lyricist, songwriter, and performer, holding nothing back on these tracks. As a writer, he’s diving deeper into who he is than ever before. This time around, Louis assembled a handful of initial ideas in the English countryside before decamping to Santa Teresa in Costa Rica for three weeks in early 2025. He dove into writing and recording alongside primary collaborator and co-producer Nico Rebscher [Aurora, Alice Merton]. The atmosphere of his surroundings underscored the ensuing body of work.
Latest focus single ‘Imposter‘ is a raw and low-fi indie pop song featuring a pulsing bassline and dirty guitars. Written by Louis with Nico Rebscher and Dave Gibson, the lyrics talk about Louis’s reality of experiencing imposter syndrome and not feeling worthy. “I can’t get this feeling out my head, that I am the imposter. I don’t really know who I am anymore”. The reflective music is now live here and stars the RTS winning actor James Nelson-Joyce (This City Is Ours, A Thousand Blows).
Louis says: “Imposter was written in the jungle in Costa Rica. Conceptually it leans into the idea of identity. It’s probably the most melodic moment on the record, I’m really excited for the world to finally hear it!”
First single from ‘How Did I Get Here?’ released last year ‘Lemonade‘ was playlisted by Radio 1, Radio 2 and Capital in the UK, and Louis performed the track on Radio 1’s Live Lounge alongside a cover of Hozier’s ‘Too Sweet’.
Second release ‘Palaces‘ received critical acclaim from Clash Magazine calling it “A terrific, finessed piece of melodic indie, with a real sense of theatre and drama to the vocal.” Louis performed the track in an ‘Amazon Music Presents’ session and headlined Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball at The O2 in London.
Following a world-conquering run as a member of One Direction, Louis formally introduced himself as a solo artist with Walls [2020]. Dubbed “excellent” by Rolling Stone, his debut LP moved over 1.2 million copies worldwide and reeled in nearly 1 billion total streams. Two years later, he levelled up on Faith In The Future [2022]. The album hit No.1 in the UK, Spain, Argentina and Belgium, No. 2 in Australia and cracked the Top 5 of the US Billboard 200, capturing No.2 on the Top Album Sales Chart, Top Current Album Sales Chart, Top Independent Albums Chart, and Top Vinyl Albums Chart.
Louis has shined on collaborations such as the Platinum-certified “Back To You” [feat. Bebe Rexha & Digital Farm Animals] and Gold-certified “Just Hold On” with Steve Aoki. Beyond a slew of awards, he also impressively emerged as the rare presence who could appear on Family Guy or compete in the coveted football game Soccer Aid on the English squad. Along the way, he launched The Away From Home Festival (now in its fifth year), which he curates and headlines.
Notably, the Faith in the Future World Tour canvased five continents and affirmed his status as one of today’s most in-demand live performers, selling out arenas to capacity in 34 countries and stadiums in five countries, making an incredible homecoming at The O2 Arena in London. He accomplished yet another extraordinary feat and once again made history as the very first male solo artist to headline Mexico City’s Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez F1 track. In 2023 Louis released a feature length documentary ‘All Of Those Voices’ which was screened in cinemas in 65 countries, and had movie premieres in London, Tokyo, LA and Mexico City.
