We love it when an artist is excited about what they are doing. We love that for them. We love that about them. We believe that any artist should be excited about what they are doing.
Zayn Malik has released new music and we have to admit we are excited about it. We become even more excited when the artist loves what he is doing and talks about it. And that’s just what Zayn did with the release of his new single, What I Am.
“This is my favorite album that I’ve made to date, mainly because it comes from a place of sheer honesty and vulnerability. I wanted each song to feel as if it was just me sitting beside you telling you how I feel, singing directly to you. It’s raw and stripped back and the type of music I always hoped to make. Working with Dave Cobb has been an amazing experience.” Zayn said in a statement, “The way he’s elevated the music is second to none, and he has done an incredible job helping me create this record. I hope we can take listeners on some whimsical, magical journey, and that they enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.”
He continued, “I think just being where I was at that time, staying away from things, and living with my own thoughts inspired me to want to write something from that place. I’ve got to put this out as a whole body of work, it’s something for myself, not even just for the world.”
His entire album Room Under the Stairs, is set to be released on May 17. Listen to his new single below –
