Former One Direction member Zayn Malik recently took to Instagram on August 23, 2024, and posted a video of himself singing his track Shoot At Will. While his fans have always been in awe of his vocal skills, it was the singer's long hair, full-face beard and moustache look which garnered a lot of traction.
Since Zayn isn't very active on social media platforms, the excitement of fans to see their favourite singer in a new look was evident from the Instagram post's comment section. Praising the Pillowtalk singer's full beard look, one of the fans commented:
"Damn the beard."
Internet users also used affirmative phrases to praise Zayn Malik, encouraging the singer to post singing videos more often:
"I think it shows a certain level of intellect"- Zayn Malik comments on being compared to other musicians
In an interview with Nylon Magazine dated May 14, 2024, Zayn Malik talked about experimenting with country music in his album Room Under the Stairs. Indicating that he isn't getting into country music because other musicians are, he told the publication that he is worried about being compared to artists like Post Malone and Beyoncé, who also launched tracks of the country music genre recently.
Talking about where the country vibe of his album came from, the singer said:
I was pretty much on my farm having a glass of whiskey and listening to a bit of Stapleton by the fire with my dog, playing guitar. I’m proud of it. I think it shows a certain level of intellect, to be a bit ahead of the curve."
Zayn also talked about having thoughts about going behind the scenes and writing music for other people. However, instead he thought of putting in the work and claiming the reward. He told the publication:
“I’m not trying to chase fame, I’m trying to chase achievement. At this point, I feel like I invested so much time into it, becoming a decent singer and everything. I’ve got to commit and show people that this is something I want to do and it’s something I’m about.”
Discussing his song writing process with the publication, Zayn Malik mentioned that he likes to bounce "from one thing to another" and that it happens fast for him.
Zayn Malik's fourth studio album, Room Under the Stairs had released on May 17, 2024, through Mercury and Republic Records. Moreover, in an interview with Nylon magazine in May 2024, the singer said that he doesn't want to give too much away but he is working on "a lot of music".
Zayn also stated that he might be releasing "another record pretty soon." However, the singer hasn't posted any update on releasing new music yet.
