Can you still remember the last time Zayn Malik released music? To be exact, the former One Direction member released Icarus Falls two years ago. Now, the new dad has dropped the second single from his third album Nobody is Listening.
Zayn released his latest song entitled “Vibez” on midnight of January 8. It’s a follow-up to the song “Better” which he released last year. In September 2020 Zayn and his girlfriend Gigi Hadid welcomed their first child together. Fans can listen to his new song through Apple Music or in a preview which was posted on Instagram.
The singer captioned his post, “Vibez out now. Nobody is Listening – Jan 15th!”
He first teased about his latest music on his Instagram Story on January 7 where he posted a short clip showing an empty theater and the words “TOMORROW” on the curtain.
Zayn became a household name when he first joined the famous boy band One Direction. After several years of doing music and performing with the group, he decided to leave the band in March 2015, claiming he had mental health problems. Since he left the group, he started focusing on creating his own music and breaking into the music industry as a solo artist.
In 2016, Zayne explained to Zane Lowe, “From like the first year really, I never really wanted to be there in the band. I just gave it a go because it was there at the time and then when I realized the direction we were going in with the music, I instantly realized it wasn’t for me because I realized I couldn’t put any input in; I couldn’t give my opinion on this or that because it didn’t fit the grain of what we were as a band or what we represented.”
He added, “So that’s when it became frustrating for me, that’s when I had to be like, I’ve got to start thinking about myself.”
Zayn Malik is now on his way to releasing his third studio album and making a name for himself in the music world. But if there’s a new role he’s proud of, it has to be being a dad to his daughter with Gigi.
