Where is Louis Tomlinson’s debut solo album?

Louis Tomlinson fans are wondering just where his album is after a new teaser.

Followers of the One Direction star have been taking to Twitter to beg for news about when he’ll release new music.

Louis recently joined The X Factor as a brand new judge, mentoring Dalton Andre Harris to victory last year.

Louis is the first judge to have also been a contestant on the show. As a member of One Direction he has sold more than 150 million records worldwide and achieved more than 100 global No1s. One Direction were the biggest selling UK act globally for three consecutive years and in 2013 they were overall the biggest selling act in the world.

However many fans of the singer didn’t want him to join the show, instead hoping for him to focus on his debut solo album.

Speaking back in July last year when he signed up for the show, Louis reassured fans: “The album is still definitely my priority. It doesn’t change any release time or anything like that me doing the show.

Explaining why he decided to join X Factor, Louis added: “I just thought, I’ve come from the show and it made a lot of sense for me to go on. And I’ve always been interested in mentoring that’s why I’ve done things in the past with my label so it’s something that’s been on my mind for a number of years now.

“As soon as I got the assurance that it wasn’t going to effect any of my music and actually it was going to help it then I could seriously start thinking about it.”

It’s now February and Louis’ solo record remains unreleased – but it IS definitely on its way.

Sharing pictures from the studio on Instagram, Louis teased: “It’s coming…”

Speaking back in December, Louis explained to X Factor’s own host Dermot O’Leary on his BBC Radio 2 show.

“I’m a bit pedantic about this, I want it to be value for money so it’s going to be as many tracks as I can possibly get on it. I want to get it close to 18 for the deluxe.”

He added: “It’s been a long process but I’m a proper perfectionist and I have a few more songs that I need and want to write. It’s more about the type of artist I am.”

So Louis fans… watch this space!
