Louis Tomlinson has just signed with BMG for his second album. During his time creating music with boy band One Direction and for his first solo album, the singer was part of Sony Music Entertainment, most closely associated with the label under it, Syco Music. Tomlinson confirmed his departure from Syco via Twitter back in July 2020, but had not yet shared details of his next steps.
Hope everyone is doing ok! Just wanted to let you know that Syco Music and I have agreed to part ways. I’m really excited for the future and to be back in the studio writing the next album. Can’t wait to finally see you all on tour!!
Stay safe and see you soon, Louis x— Louis Tomlinson (@Louis_Tomlinson) July 11, 2020
Now we know where the Doncaster native has chosen to go, and we also know that he is in the middle of working on his second album with them. BMG VP A&R Jamie Nelson stated: “We are delighted to welcome Louis to BMG. He is already busy working on new music, and we are excited to join him on the next phase of his extraordinary career.” At this stage, both Louis and BMG are still very cryptic, but we can see that something new is in the works, and we can be on the lookout.

This news is accompanied by other recent news that the 29-year-old songwriter has had to push back the dates of his world tour due to the pandemic, like many other artists. All of the confirmed dates are now in 2022, and while many of the previously purchased tickets are still valid for the postponed dates, some shows, such as The Wiltern in Los Angeles, will have to be refunded. You can find more information and updates on local shows on his official website here.
