“Gospel EP Loading…..” Willie wrote to caption his Instagram post earlier this week. “It’s time to finally share some new music soon.”
The video Willie shared shows him in the studio working on new music, as he brainstorms a new song and records it. His followers shared their excitement over the news that Willie will be releasing original music.
Willie hasn’t announced a release date for the project, but it’s still exciting to know that things are in the works. Fans have been ready to hear more from him since he finished his run on American Idol last year.
This isn’t the first time Willie has teased new music since his time on the show. Earlier this year, he posted a snippet of an original song called “Myself.” Before that, he posted part of a song called “Pressure.” It’s not clear if either of these tracks will appear on the EP in any form.
