It has been revealed in an interview with Marie Claire that Lea Michele will release her second album in early 2016!

In a recording studio in West Hollywood, California, Lea Michele is discussing the embarrassment of riches her team believes is her second album. For the past month, her songwriter and vocal engineer have been recording Michele's tracks to be produced into what Michele hopes will be a more successful venture than her first effort, 2014's Louder, which received mixed reviews and sold just shy of half a million copies worldwide. That album—a collection of conventional pop songs designed to lure her youthful Glee audience—was not a true Lea Michele album, as she now insists: "I have a better idea what that is."
Michele, 29, doesn’t have kids, of course. She’s waaay too busy for that. She promised herself two years ago that she’d never do a TV show, a book, and an album at the same time. (Back then, she was filming Glee, writing her first book, Brunette Ambition, and recording Louder.) But here she is, laying down tracks for her next album (out early next year) before heading to a lunch where she’ll get her first glimpse of her fall book, all while preparing to fly to New Orleans with her boyfriend, aspiring actor Matthew Paetz, to shoot her next Ryan Murphy show, Scream Queens.

Ugh I'm so ready. Louder is already among my top 10 favorite albums, it's just a phenomenal mix of booty-popping bops and beautiful ballads/mid-tempos. I just listened to it again and the album still holds up. Also slay at it almost hitting 500k, wow I never knew.
