Louisa Johnson Debuts First Post-'X Factor' Single - How Will She Fare Against Previous Winners?

Past winners have had mixed results with their first post-'X Factor' release?

Louisa Johnson has taken a different approach to previous winners with her first post-‘X Factor’ single.

Unlike stars like Little Mix, Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis, whose arrival on the pop scene was marked with a flourish of trumpets and a rolling out of a red carpet, Louisa is planning a Trojan horse-esque arrival on the pop charts.

Rather than going on the attack with a solo pop banger, Louisa is a featured artist on the latest single from Clean Bandit, ‘Tears’.
