Release week is so draining, new album and new music and it’s so exciting but on the other hand streaming like crazy and buying like crazy and even when you feel like you’re doing everything you can with the circumstances you have you’re still made to feel like you’re not doing enough.

How Did I Get Here? debuted at number #1 on the Top Albums of Spotify in the UK

That release was so insanely calculated and he did so much promo in one day you can’t convince me these men are even friends atp let alone in some secret loving relationship.

meaning aside, the whole mv is so professionally done. the quality, the settings - masterpiece. it really holds bits of louis' personality and authenticity. love seeing him smiling and having fun. the actors did such awesome job as well. and the end was chef's kiss. all of them singing a'cappella and then back to the *imposter* in question. he ATE with this mv.

Louis for Rolling Stone UK

One of the things I dislike most about #that album is that you just know it will get nominated for AOTY and while it’s the scammy’s so of course it will happen, it’s just frustrating that she can put a piece of work out like this recent album and still win over people who have worked probably a million times harder…

Been a LONG ass time since I’ve come here but here I am back in this place lmao

No need to publish but since you mentioned the disturbing amount of likes F stuff gets--I've now seen SO MANY video compilations of him in Louis' tags and the worst part is having been around for years I know that half the pics are either not F or not even Louis 😬 I see no difference between these "fans" and the ones that relate everything to H. It's depressing that his team isn't interested in fostering a fan base outside of the loonies.

It's really disturbing to see the obsession ngl. And it's not only fans. Just a few days ago, i saw a PEOPLE's article about Freddie's recent pic and i'm like wtf? I don't know if they ever wrote ONE article about a louis music release but just randomly writing a whole ass article about a child? It's so so weird. And i hate larries and babygaters for igniting this obsession amongst fans. If babygaters didn't exist, i don't think we would have this amount of posts or even accounts that work as Freddie's ua. In one hand we have the freaks who allow themselves not only to believe but to fucking post their proofs how Freddie isn't Louis' son daily (just imagine someone coming to you and saying you're not your parents' son/ daughter and i won't believe it until i see your birth certificate. Like seriously who tf they think they are). I still don't know what they think they're achieving with that, even if you think he isn't his child, holding that against him and always threatening to boycott his projects if you see the kid (which never works btw 💀) and hating on a kid daily is just disgusting and (bc i know that's what they care about) frankly useless. No one with a working braincell will ever believe a single word from crazy people like larries (i came back to Twitter the last couple of days and they're honestly truly schizophrenic there's no other explanation to the utter and complete dissociation in their thinking). They don't even think on how it reflects on louis, to have them as fans. I can't tell you how many irl friends became fans of louis after fitf but were so so put off by larries, they chose to remain casual fans only. On the other hand, we have some fans who work a little too hard to prove larries wrong. They hold on too strong to Louis' heterosexuality and fatherhood as a got you moment for larries. Totally ignoring how weird it it to keep posting a child's face. PS: A lot of the likes for Freddie's posts come from hrries who cling to that (and Louis' Larry denials ) as proof that larry isn't real since their fav didn't really give them a firm denial to shut larries up. I think louis is too talented to have a fandom like this. I always thought that his discography is too good to be included in this circus. Someone like him should've had a carrer trajectory similar to some of the top actors'. Drama free, promote his projects when the time comes, charms everyone with his wit and sense of humor then disappears until the next masterpiece drops. Unfortunately, he was sabotaged for too long and his current team is so useless, non creative and non ambitious it really is depressing. Even the big side projects if you will (afhf, aotv, lfl...) were all louis' ideas and made reality out of sheer will and determination from him. I will never forget in the afhf documentary where HE was the one telling Matt that the festival will happen and the logistics will be figured out and insisting so that the lazy man gets on with it and does his job. Like you're his MANAGER and not only you have zero useful ideas to promote him but also act like you're doing him a huge favor (against your will just so you could shut him up) when he asks you to do something that is in reality your job. His label is also useless (no radio, no playlisting). Hoping LT3 will have a better promo cycle (i'm a clown i know) and some miracle happens so we can get rid of larries, they're so harmful to his career and replace them with new healthy normal fans

It went from walls to faith in the future, now he is in the experiencing life “more content and wiser” phase surely it’s going to be a nod to that if he keeps to the theme.

I always appreciated how Adele made it so easy for her to name her albums.

Adele’s album name trick is excellent, but unusable for anyone else now 😏, only because she’s inimitable. (Even though she’s in Harry’s circle, I can’t be mad at her.)

Confession: I don’t love “Faith In The Future” as an album title; I think it’s too sentimental, almost maudlin. I also don’t love either of Louis’ album covers. They are a bit flat and unimaginative to me, and they fail to convey the strength of the music inside. I wish Louis had as much a visual dexterity and imagination as he has a verbal one, in the layered way in which he approaches lyrics.

I really really hope that LT3 has a great cover design.

"I hate to break it to you, but Louis' documentary was a propaganda piece that i'm very happy didn’t get much press at all. Also, none of the other boys want to involve themself in that fake narrative mess if they don't have to."

This b*tch is merrily attacking Louis every day whilst also claiming she loves him. Please can everyone block her if you haven't already

Again, Louis himself STATED ON INTERVIEW that he didn’t invite Liam to the London premier. Liam showed up on his own accord. But Louis also said that he was happy Liam came. In other words, Louis didn’t invite any of One Direction, because the global premiers were to showcase Louis and the film itself, not One Direction. Having anyone else there would overshadow the idea of a SOLO project about how Louis came to this point in his SOLO career.

I’ve seen some posts from other Larries claiming that AOTV was “propaganda.” Propaganda for what purpose? To divide One Direction? Why would Louis— a man who has openly wanted a One Direction reunion and repeats his love of 1D— do that? Most Larries don’t like the idea that Louis included a segment about Freddie (and some boycotted the film because of it), but their bias doesn’t make the film any less true to reality.

All celebrity documentaries are marketing. Let’s repeat that: all celebrity documentaries are marketing. They tell their stories from a biased point of view that selectively leave out certain things, and make their subjects seem more sympathetic. An intelligent viewer can make their own minds, but that usually doesn’t include making up an alternate reality based on conspiracy fantasies.

Reading Larrie posts reminds me of journalists interviewing MAGA voters who have a complete alternate reality canon in their minds, yet when faced with fact checks, they refute that facts are “fake news,” i.e. “left-wing liberal propaganda.”

I don't know Louis but to me and as a Brit he drinks like the rest of us, we don't see drinking as anything more than that tbh so it's weird when people say he has a problem when to me there's nothing abnormal at all. You could say all of the UK has a drinking problem but he probably drinks less than he would back home considering most people get sozzled at the pub almost every night

To me, Louis has one beer (or vodka Redbull) on stage for each concert, and he doesn’t finish it by the end of the show. In many photos, we can see that he hadn’t even drunk half of one cup. He often meets fans after his shows and is always in control, never drunk. As far as I know, fans have never said that he smells like alcohol, only cigarettes and maybe perfume. He’s never canceled one show in two years— over 160 shows. He is professional in showing up to interviews no matter what time of day (sometimes 7 AM) and is always in control, usually with a cup of coffee.

You know as a smoker, who recently quit, i know the struggles of addiction to smoking and the temporary stress relief it provides, along with the side effects. A smoker always advices others to never smoke (at least, me and my smoker buddy always do that and i have seen many who does that.) This post makes me very uncomfortable. Ppl dont ever realize the underlying struggles of an addict and only think to make it into a personality. I abhor such ppl. We don't smoke bcoz it looks cool or thats the trend. May have started that way, but it is not the reason we continue smoking or not the reason why we struggle to quit. Tbh if smoking and occacional drinking is the worst habit Louis has, then I call it a win. Esp with the way the industry ppl are and the drugs they have access to. Ppl whose idols are drug addicts, should not throw stones on glass houses.

Also, we presume to know about their bad habits when we can’t know. We’re not observing Louis 24/7. In the photos that paps sneaked during Louis’ family vacation recently, he wasn’t holding a cigarette in any of them, and was most likely not drinking alcohol in any of them either. Part of it may have been in deference to Lottie’s pregnancy as well as the children there.

Sometimes fans presume the worst or best of Louis but he’s just a human being.
