The MixtapE! Featuring Louis Tomlinson, Charlie Puth and more new music

New Music Fridays are an exciting, yet terrifying prospect for any music lover.

Essentially, it’s a weekly celebration where favorite artists and fresh faces release their latest offerings to the world, flooding streaming services and digital retailers with an onslaught of aural treats. But who has time to sit there and listen to everything before updating their playlists? Too many good things! (And, to be fair, usually a few stinkers too.)

As it turns out, we do. Welcome to The MixtapE!

Louis Tomlinson is moving in the right direction.

On September 1, the former boy bander announced his new solo album Faith in the Future will be released on November 11. To give devoted fans a closer look at the project, the 30-year-old artist released “Bigger Than Me,” a song aimed at celebrating personal growth.

“All my experience of working in a group, like One directionthe experience was incredible, but I don’t feel it has anything to do with what I’m doing now,” said Louis Official schedules. “I was not an individual artist. I had to work a little on who I was.”
