Partner in Life. Many many crimes. Sounds familiar.

At the beginning of September, just when Harry Styles landed at the Venice Film Festival leaving behind a trail of gossip, another One Direction arrived in Milan, awaited by 34 thousand fans in raptures who in some cases camped out to sleep outside the concert venue . While the record boy band is on hiatus indefinitely, Louis Tomlinson is also building a respectable solo career., more anchored to music and less glamorous than her partner, also launched as an actor, but still capable of moving crowds and raising hashtags on Twitter. "Honestly when I see all those people under the stage coming to hear me I still can't believe it," confesses Tomlinson, 30, "Oasis" haircut (a band he loves "for the songs and for the attitude") and very strong British accent.

His first album «Walls» had been hit in full by the pandemic , forcing him to stop after just two concerts: «It was a hard moment for me, but in hindsight it went better this way - he says -. We digest music super fast these days and at least people have had a couple of years to listen to the songs well, making the tour even more special ».

It will also be in the wake of this enthusiasm that his second work "Faith in the future", arriving on 11 November, with two dates in the palazzettos in Italy already announced a year in advance (8 October 2023 in Turin and 9 in Bologna), is a album made «keeping concerts in mind first». The title is optimistic: «I'm not saying that the future will necessarily be better, but it's about seeing the glass half full and having some confidence. Certainly thinking like this will not make things worse ». Compared to his debut, Tomlinson says he has gained confidence and dared more, jumping from pop to rock with hints of punk, inspired in some points by the first Arctic Monkeys, in search of an energy to be transferred immediately on stage. "I tried to be less closed-minded - he explains -. On the first record I think I limited myself a little, the first single chosen was «Bigger than me» , a song about changes because «there are so many at my age and I tried to reflect and accept them», he says, but also a reflection on the impact of his music: «Come performer always aim for perfection and it's easy to get a little too analytical. But then when I see what the songs mean to people, it's all much bigger than I think, as if the songs take a life of their own."
