Zayn Wears Leather For “Dazed” Magazine, Talks Second Solo Album - Possibly Coming This Year Too!

He may have cancelled his concert at Capital FM’s Summertime Ball this past weekend over anxiety claims, but that wasn’t the only “public appearance” Zayn Malik had lined up for these days. Earlier this week his first cover on “Dazed” magazine got published. “Feel the Heat!” was the main headline the British magazine used to describe Zayn.

In the Collier Schorr-shot photos of his “Dazed” spread, the “Pillow Talk” singer is seen flaunting his tattoos, showing off how good he can look in leather and feeling proud of his almost-extreme thinness.

As far as his interview goes, read below a few of the most interesting excerpts of what he had to tell the mag:

  • “You’ve got to hold on to what you are and not let things get to your head, because if you do, that’s when everything comes crashing down terribly”
  • “I don’t tend to go out much,” says Malik. “I stick to my own bubble, as it is. Creatively and socially, I think, as I’m getting older, that’s just the way I am.”
  • “Prince created another world with the clothes he wore, and it gave him an otherworldly feel, which is all part of his legend. That was kind of what I was doing at the Met Ball... being fearless”
  • “I don’t know how to explain it, but it feels good to sing that way... I wanted to mix English with an Indian sound and make something cool out of it” – Zayn on ‘fLoWer’. “It’s a religious style of music that’s like a deep meditation prayer where you just sit and sing the same melody over and over – it’s meant to get you into a trance state.
  • This may be the first time Malik has been able to look back at his One Direction years having successfully made it to the next phase of his career. He clearly holds a deep appreciation for his newfound independence. “I know that musicians are seen as one-sided people a lot of the time,” he says, thoughtfully. “But we do have other elements to us as well. I didn’t feel good. Do you know what I mean? And if you don’t feel good…” His voice trails off and he takes a drag from a cigarette, his dark eyes focusing. “You need to be able to express what it is that you are,” he says, breaking into a smile. “I’m free at last.”

OMG at the never-ending shade at One Direction.

I know Zayn is just speaking his mind and saying the truth that lies in his heart, but for the sake of his relationship with his former 1D buddies and the 1D fans, Zayn should begin to just not comment on the issue anymore.

BY THE WAY, besides throwing shade and talking about his personality and the “Mind of Mine” era, “Dazed” magazine also got a major exclusive out of Zayn’s mouth. An exclusive regarding his second solo album, which might be here sooner than expected!

Now, Malik is rehearsing for some live shows and writing his second record, which, rumour has it, will be out before the end of this year (a claim he neither confirms or denies). He cites Drake, Rihanna and The Weeknd as dream collaborators, while hinting that he may have some surprise guests on the books already

Another album this year? A collaboration with a huge artist? My body is not ready for this unexpected slayage!

Thoughts?
