He has also been hitting up instagram and answering fan questions discussing topics from global warming, to WWII documentaries, to his upcoming album, to the Met Gala.

Join us this week for an episode full of silly guessing games! Guess the song, finish the lyrics, and other fun games that you can play along with at home! The fandom had some very tragic news last week that Louis' sister Felicite passed away and we thought it would be nice to have a very casual light hearted and fun episode to hopefully lift our spirits a bit and give us a break from the sadness. We hope this episode does that for you too. Check out Talk Direction Down Low on patreon.com/talkdirection for EXTRA PODCAST CONTENT!!

Louis’ beautiful song Two Of Us is out now! On this episode we invite special guest Sophia to join us to talk about their experience interviewing Louis for the online publication Line of Best Fit and to discuss Louis promo and of course Louis’ new single Two Of Us. In this episode we both laugh and cry, so be prepared for lots of emotions. Louis’ live performance blew us away and his lyrics are so personal. We dig into the musical production, varying instruments used on each chorus, and what he means by “one life for the two of us”.

Louis promo season is in full swing! In this episode we talk about Louis' very own pokemon go type game where fans had to go to "hotspots" around the globe to collect interview clips. Suuuuuuuch a fun time! We discuss everything Louis said in those clips as well as the interview he did for Line of Best Fit. We recorded this *right* before we got the new single "Two of us" so we throw in our last minute predictions & hopes and generally just enjoy having a nice casual chat after the intensity of our February episodes!

Buckle up for our last #HS1 song discussion. This week we delve into Sweet Creature: unconditional love, comparisons to 1D’s Strong, plucky guitars, and the rawness of Harry’s voice. Plus we discuss LOUIS: song teaser trailers, possible upcoming live performances, single release date, and his upcoming interviews in two different magazines. It seems like #LT1 is actually coming SOON! We hypothesize about his song Two of Us and try to figure out why he removed and then re-uploaded the picture of him playing piano.
