Directioners, we’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that a new One Direction album is coming. The bad? Well, we still don’t know when — but it won’t be long!

On Monday (September 1), Zayn posted a photo of himself and Liam with the caption: “The new album is coming very soon and I’m very excited :D.”

The boyband recently took some time off of their Where We Are Tour to sit down with Today show co-host Carson Daly and revealed that they’ve written almost every song on the album and are going for a different type of sound this time.

And 1D aren’t the only ones happy with the 2013 follow-up. Their label boss, Simon Cowell, has heard the album and called it “fantastic.”

“There’s probably five or six tracks I’ve already heard that could be singles,” Cowell recently told Capital FM.

“There’s some very different kinds of songs than what we’ve done before; they’ve taken a few more risks. Most importantly, the boys love writing, they love recording.”
