Louise reveals details of fifth studio album, Confessions, out in May.
The new album sees her hit the dance floor with a confident collection of euphoric pop dance anthems. Working with a variety of A list collaborators, the project includes Jon Shave (Charli XCX), Anya Jones (Benjamin Ingrosso, Kylie), Karen Poole (Becky Hill), Tre Jean-Marie (Perrie, Mabel), MNEK (Flo, Madonna), Miranda Cooper (Girls Aloud) and Hannah Robinson (Annie).
Louise says: “This album just happened. It had that momentum and I’ve worked with such great people. I’d have a pinch-me moment some days when I was in the studio, working with such great songwriters and producers, it’s been a dream team.
“The album is quite personal and I didn’t hold back. It’s something I’m not known for as I can be quite guarded. But here, I’ve brought the sassy part of Louise. It’s a good time for women to be coming out with music.”
The announcement follows the release of her first single from the album, Confession, last week. With lyrical themes about the first flashes of passion, Confession mixes an electronic bass and shimmering synths with a sultry and smooth melody.
