Former 1D star Louis Tomlinson reinvents himself as EDM star:
tmlnsn:
Fresh from wowing clubland with Steve Aoki collaboration Just Hold On, the 1D star has another dance banger on the way.
Louis has been in the studio with Tropical house DJ/producer Matoma.
Keeping his cards close to his chest the Norwegian, real name Tom Lagergren, told me: “I can’t really tell too much.”
“I remixed Perfect for One Direction and Louis wanted to do something so we went to the studio to connect and had some fun. My impression is he’s a passionate, talented person and a really nice guy.
“The big thing is that he is humble and down to earth so maybe something will come.”
Tom is one of the most streamed artists on Spotify thanks to collaborations with Coldplay, Sean Paul and The Vamps.
Ahead of tonight’s gig at London’s O2 Academy he told me: “I’ll have some new music out next month, a collaboration.”
“It’s totally different from what I have done before. More reggae influenced. My show is about forgetting your daily life, come have a party with me.”
With all of 1D gearing up for solo albums it seems unlikely a reunion will happen.
Not so says Niall Horan who seems a bit confused about which members are doing what.
He said: “I’m going to be doing a bit of a tour.”
“Louis has got his movie coming out, Harry’s doing his thing and Liam’s doing his thing. But when it does happen, it’s going to be great.”
Either he has Louis and Harry mixed up on the film front or that Jamie Vardy movie is finally happening.
One thing is for sure, Louis can get on the decks when 1D do return.
