So, the new Zayn Malik single is here, and it's pretty much what we expected. Not that that's a bad thing. Listen to it below.
'Pillow Talk' is the sort of song that makes total sense of why Malik wanted to leave One Direction - there's no catchy melody, just slinky R&B beats and a soaring chorus that it's difficult to sing along to, and he sings the word "fucking" a few times.
It's not a life-changing song, but it's obvious that this is the kind of work Malik has been chomping at the bit to make for several years now. Hopefully he'll find his own musical identity as he records the new album - which he's just announced will be called Mind Of Mine.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Beats1, Malik admitted, "I never really wanted to be in One Direction."
Mnd Of Mine is set for release on 25 March via RCA Records.
