Zayn Malik has hinted that he “may” release another album “soon.”
The former One Direction star returns with his fourth solo album 'Room Under the Stairs' this Friday (May 24th 17th), but he's always been writing songs. He revealed that a sequel may be released in the near future. future.
In an interview with Nylon magazine, he said, “I don't want to give too much away, but I'm working on a lot of music and might release another record soon.”
The 31-year-old star can create songs within a day, and some of the songs on the 2021 sequel to Nobody Is Listening date back several years.
he said: “I like jumping from one thing to another.
“For me, things are fast. I get a feel for it, write the songs within a few hours, and have them all cut that night.”
This country-tinged record was inspired by Tennessee Whiskey singer Chris Stapleton.
Zane said: “I was on the farm, drinking a glass of whiskey, listening to a little Stapleton by the fire with my dog, and playing guitar.
“That's what I'm proud of. I think it shows a level of intelligence that's a little bit ahead of its time.”
Country is a big mainstream commodity right now, with the likes of Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey and Post Malone leading the charge.
However, the “What I Am” singer insists that releasing a country record at a time when the genre is trending is a coincidence.
He said, “People need to know that I didn't jump on the bandwagon.”
Zayn believes the reason country is a hit is because music fans love the “lyrical depth,” which you don't get with some of today's “hopeful” chart music. Thing.
He suggested: “People are looking for a little more depth from the lyrics. On the Top 40 charts, a lot of mainstream music feels a little bit wishful.
“The songs are great. You know what I'm saying? They're catchy. They're playing on the radio, they're doing their jobs, but people want something a little more.”
Like Stapleton, Zayn draws inspiration from country legend Willie Nelson and loves the maturity and class of their lyrics.
She added: “I really got to hear their lyrics, their pain, their growth, their life lessons.
“When a Chris Stapleton song comes on, you don't think he sounds like an af*boy, do you? He doesn't do that! He's here saying, 'Good luck in the club!' not. We drink Bacardi! Or whatever young kids are using today.
“He's not like that. He has classes, right? He talks real adult stuff. And I respected that shit. I was like, 'This is cool.' Ta. That's something I can do. ”
