Louis Tomlinson is the last of the former One Direction crew to release a full-length solo album. But that’s all going to change soon. The singer is gearing up for the release of his debut solo record at the end of the month, and he’s departing from his former style of music. With his last few singles, “Kill My Mind,” “Two Of Us,” “Don’t Let It Break Your Heart,” and “We Made It,” Tomlinson has opted for ’90s Britpop influences over his former boy band’s radio-ready pop. But his die-hard fans have been eager for more information about his new era of music, and he has finally appeased them, unveiling his Walls tracklist in an unconventional way.
Tomlinson announced each song in his 12-track Walls record Saturday. But rather than simply posting the tracklist on social media, he found a creative way to make the announcement: He had a mural painted of the tracklist on the side of a London building. Surrounding an artist’s rendition of his face is the record’s entire painted tracklist.
