After it was announced on the 25th March that Zayn Malik would be leaving One Direction, fans went into meltdown. Now almost a year later and Zayn has gone solo; releasing his debut single 'PILLOWTALK'.
After 5 years of One Direction, Zayn decided to leave the tour due to 'stress' and later left the band because he wanted to 'be a normal 22-year old'. However after multiple interviews we now get the impression that Zayn was actually just unhappy in the band and that he never really had the chance to decide if it was for him. Now he is due to release an album with 'PILLOWTALK' being his debut single.
The song immediately reached number 1 in 60 countries after its release today. The song was also trending on Twitter worldwide- no doubt helped by the fact that supermodel girlfriend Gigi Hadid features in the video. The video directed by filmmaker Bouha Kazmi has many racy shots of the couple and earlier today they exchanged flirtatious tweets about it on twitter. The song seems to be the first of many and Zayn has announced the album 'Mind of Mine' will be released on the 25th March; exactly a year after leaving One Direction.
It seems the song has had many mixed reviews of fans but is bringing in a whole new audience in which Zayn is trying to achieve. However, when the album is released I'm sure it will bring us plenty of surprises from the Bradford lad!
