Zayn Interview for PAPER Magazine Original text: PAPER Translation: Zayn Malik Daily When Zayn Malik left One Direction in March 2015, more than a few tears were shed around the world. Just Google "Zayn gone crying" and you'll get tons of videos and tweets from teenagers around the world sharing their grief, as well as a video of his former bandmate Harry Styles, who was filmed shaking off a tear at their first concert without Zayn. The world's biggest band survived without its fifth member, releasing one more album before announcing a hiatus in March last year. It's unclear whether the hiatus is actually a breakup, but in the meantime, Zayn has set out on a solo journey with no obstacles in his way. His debut album, Mind of Mine, was released at the end of March. The record is filled with slow R&B and confessional lyrics akin to Miguel and Usher, each song built around his powerful falsetto. The 18 tracks include catchy songs with a beat that makes you want to shake your head, such as “BeFoUr,” as well as slow ballads, such as “iT's YoU,” in which his voice is simply unearthly. Incandescent and self-confident, new Zayn joins the ranks of artists who use only one name on stage - he now uses the brand "ZAYN" and names one of the most beautiful women, model Gigi Hadid, with his girlfriend (there have been many controversial statements about whether they broke up or not; but judging by interviews, comments in the media and Hadid's Snapchat, it can be assumed that they are still together). His first single, "PILLOWTALK", climbed to the top of the charts in various countries, including the US and UK, which was released in January. The video for the single showed his new, sexy side, which we saw during passionate kisses with Gigi, while showing a naked girl with a flower between her legs and red special effects. On at the moment The video has over 521 million views on YouTube. All in all, Zane has a pretty good life. And on this May night in Los Angeles, this extraordinarily successful 23-year-old multimillionaire spoke with PAPER in the recording studio in which he is already preparing his second album. Surrounded by a small crew of English girls from his record label, Zayn is as simple as can be. We had a modest dinner of fried chicken and brown rice. “I didn’t feel well lately, because I partied too much and didn’t take care of myself, didn’t even eat much. Now I’m trying to take care of myself,” Zane notes. But at the same time he has cigarettes, so sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t. Zayn has had time to hone his responsible, measured approach to fame. It's all been a whirlwind since he was discovered as a 17-year-old on the UK version of The X Factor, when he, along with his bandmates, auditioned as a solo act but were grouped together to become part of one of the biggest boy bands of the world. He came to TV as an ordinary teenager from the English industrial town of Bradford - the son of a British woman and a British-Pakistani father, who grew up in a Muslim family with three sisters. After the group was formed, his "normal teenage life" came to an end as the group went on to set chart records with five albums and never stopped touring the world, confirming their status as one of the major acts in pop culture before. how Zayn left her. Based on his last few days in Los Angeles, it looks like his solo career is in a similar fast lane. It was a week of interviews and photo shoots, as well as a TV appearance on The Voice, where he performed his newest single, LIKE I WOULD, accompanied by a laser light show. “The pace was crazy,” he says, adding that this frenetic pace has been the norm for him lately. For his second album, he reteams with Mind of Mine producer Malay, born James Ho, best known for his work with Alicia Keys and Frank Ocean. The two came together last year when writing Zayn's debut album, but, according to the latter, they are just figuring out what the artist's future sound will be. "We were just experimenting with different things," he says. What's for sure is that Zayn will continue to deviate from the teenager's "bangs" - British slang word for the hairstyle he had in 1D - when he sang and danced in unison with four boys. In almost every post-1D interview, he has stated that this album - and the start of his solo career - serves as a public introduction to Zayn as an adult. So it's no coincidence that the album contains intense sexual imagery and explicit phrases - such as "Being in bed all day / Fuck and fight" ("PILLOWTALK") and "I'll make her wetter than ever / Four letters - not question/ She likes it when I’m careless/ And I like it when she’s naked” (“WRoNg”). "Making the album sexual or addressing sex wasn't a conscious decision," says Zayn.

One more thing frank interview singer almost a year after leaving the group.

We are sure that 2016 will be the year of handsome Zayn Malik! The daredevil who ditched his boy band, his princess, Perrie Edwards, and told everyone he was going to write “real” music. A little rough, but to do something really worthwhile, sometimes you have to take risks. We all remember Malik's famous interview with PAPER magazine, in which he finally answered all the questions tormenting fans, adding that he never liked the music of One Direction, although he respects the guys. And here is another “bomb” in Zane’s naively sincere and at the same time tough style – a fresh interview for Billboard magazine.

About new music

Journalist Chris Martins, who interviewed Malik (oh, how jealous we are!), seemed to have a great chat with the future 2016 star. And he started with the question: when will we finally hear Zayn’s tracks?

“My fans bug me every day. Like, where is your damn music already? You've been silent for months. Give us something,” Malik replies.

There will be music for you this spring. Malik has a contract with the RCA record company. And yes, in Zayn’s new album you won’t hear a single sugary note from One Direction songs.

About relationships with the guys from One Direction

By the way, about the guys. It's been almost a year since Malik left the group (March 25, in case you forgot). And we hardly saw him with any of the 1D members, except for Liam, who will always be his good friend. He moved away from the guys. Zayn, of course, doesn't say anything bad about former colleagues. But there is no denying the tension that exists in their relationship now: “I truly enjoyed myself and did my best to remain myself no matter what. But my place as a musician is not in a group at all. The guys preferred indie rock. This good music, but not for me. Where I come from, it was never considered cool."

Malik isn't sure if the One Direction guys are his "four friends forever," as he said when he left the group.

“The whole truth is,” Malik admits now, “you can think one thing about the situation, but then everything will turn upside down. True, I was going to be friends with all of them, but, probably, they telephone numbers changed, and now I just don’t call them. I tried to make contact, but never received a response. Some people are just too proud, but that will pass with time.”

About the new One Direction album

When it came to One Direction's latest album Made in the A.M., recorded after Zayn left the group, Malik said he didn't even listen to it. “I'll be honest. I think the first single was pretty good. Then I heard the second single and thought:

“Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t buy this album.”

About what a boy band really is

Recalling his time in One Direction, Zayn says: “We weren't allowed to say certain things or use words in the lyrics the way we wanted to. I sat and thought:

“If fans knew how it all worked, what would they think?”

“My argument was: people are above this. They want to hear something real, so why don't we write tracks about what's really happening?" Working in a boy band exhausted and devastated Malik, he just wanted to be home, closer to his family: “I came home. I saw my mother who cooked me something delicious. I binged for three weeks because I lost so much weight in the group. I saw my sister and put on my father’s sheepskin coat, and when I passed by, everyone took me for him. Nobody bothered me. I needed to get back to Bradford to find some peace of mind.”

About new sounds and sources of inspiration

Malik has always been the "Bad Boy from Bradford", an industrial town in the north of England. And now he’s a superstar, with perfectly styled hair, tattoos, skinny blue denim jeans and a now-fashionable beard. No, not another glamorous hipster. His music promises to be sincere, special, atmospheric, making the listener find peace of mind. In general, a complete embodiment of himself.

“Don’t expect a polished pop tune,” says general manager RCA label.

Now Malik prefers a tent to the Four Seasons Hotel and plays music outdoors. “We went camping for a week, set up a generator and a tent to sleep in the woods,” says James, Zane’s producer. “It was the complete opposite of what he did before.” We only had a grill, guns, bow and arrows. We were relieving ourselves in the woods and everything.”

In September 2015, Malik moved to Los Angeles, where "there's not a lot of negative energy around." He began recording tracks in an unfurnished bungalow “with the glass door wide open, a microphone in the backyard, under starry sky" Malik also said that he really loves graffiti and decorated the walls of the rooms of his house in this style. IN hometown Zane was struck by a thirst for creativity: “I could write, I could draw, I could barbecue, I could relax in my wigwam.” And the house in Los Angeles is a real creative corner, especially the home studio.

In a new interview with Zayn Malik, he talked about his relationship with Gigi, his second solo album and who Roger Malik is. The first thing a journalist from The Sunday Times noticed when meeting Zane in person was his eyelashes. The interviewer believes that his eyelashes should have their own account on Twitter, like Cara Delevingne's eyebrows. The singer arrived for the interview half an hour early! He was full of enthusiasm and, as always, he was surrounded by paparazzi who followed Malik from the Four Seasons George V Hotel, where the singer was staying during Paris Fashion Week with Gigi.

Ziji is strength. Gigi Hadid just recently appeared on her 17th Vogue cover - the cover of the very first issue of Vogue Arabia. Meanwhile, Zayn is finishing work on his second solo album. The stakes are high as his first solo single, Pillowtalk, was #1 in 68 countries!

Since leaving One Direction, Malik has become a completely different person and he loves it.

Do you view Paris Fashion Week as work or pleasure?

Zane:“I don't see any difference. I do my job and at the same time have fun, because here I am next to my girlfriend.”

He flew to Paris to surprise Gigi!

“She didn’t know I was coming. But it’s so amazing to spend time here with your girlfriend,” Zane said.

Have you taken Gigi home to Bradford yet?

Zane:“I’ve never taken her to Bradford, not yet. But she met my family several times in London.”

After Zayn left One Direction in 2015, breaking millions of girls' hearts, he lived for six months at the Beverly Hills Hotel. But “Z” didn’t waste any time! While at the hotel, he created music for his first solo album, Mind of Mine. And then he bought a house in Bel Air, where he and Gigi lived together last year.

“G lived with me last year. I call her “G,” and she calls me “Z.” There are several other options for our “nicknames,” but I would like to keep them secret,” Zane admitted.

In the video for the song Pillowtalk we can see all the passion and love of the Ziji couple.

"This is our paradise and our battlefield." Why is “our paradise” understandable, but why “battlefield”?

Zane:“I don’t mean, of course, that this is a battlefield. This is a metaphor. Love hurts. Love is a very complicated thing. Perhaps my experiences of love before writing this album were difficult and not very pleasant.”

Let us remember that Zayn previously dated Perrie Edwards, a member of the group Little Mix, but to the great chagrin of many fans, they broke up in 2015.

“I think there is great power in expressing emotions. Previously men rarely showed their sincere feelings and emotions, but now it is accepted and respected by society,” Zain explained.

What can you tell us about your second solo album?

Zane:“Everyone always says that the second album is more difficult to write. But I'm very pleased with my work. This album shows real signs of growth and development. I hope that as a person, as a person, I also grow and acquire new knowledge.”

You have always been considered mysterious. Why do you think?

Zane:“I have no idea why. Obviously it was some kind of marketing strategy, aimed at attracting attention to my album. But I don't consider myself mysterious at all. Anyone! But not me."

You have no idea, but Zayn likes to pretend to be his evil alter ego, Roger Malick.

“It may be strange, but I created an alter ego for myself. His name is Roger. He influences me a lot. He also helped record a couple of songs on the new album. But today he is resting,” Zane said.

(Zayn Malik) became the hero of the December issue of Vogue. In his interview with the magazine, the performer spoke about his relationship with members of the boy band One Direction, which he left in 2015, and also shared details of his romance with American supermodel Gigi Hadid.

When Zayn left the group to pursue a solo career, few believed in him. However, during these three years, Malik became one of the most successful singers, making his colleagues jealous of his worldwide fame. And as the performer himself admitted, after his departure from One Direction he no longer communicated with his colleagues. Although at the beginning of their careers in the boy band, they all swore eternal friendship.

“Actually, I’ve always been a little on the outside, in my own world. I don't like to interact closely with a large number people. Since I left the group, we haven't communicated, to be honest. Those things and words that happened and were said after I left... Low, ugly... I never expected this.”, Malik explained.

Zayn also said that, despite his isolation, there is still a person who is incredibly close and dear to him - this is his girlfriend Gigi. She is always there, and only she can rely on her.

“Everything is just great with us! Gigi is very organized and I'm the complete opposite. She constantly helps me not to forget anything, to manage everything, to plan my time correctly. I can completely rely on her.", - shared the singer. By the way, Malik had previously admired his beloved, saying that without her his life would not be what it is now. Hadid was able to provide him with great support during a difficult period for him.

“I'm truly grateful to have met her... We're adults. Our relationships don't need any labels; we don't want to follow anyone's expectations. When I recorded my first solo album, I was angry with the whole world, it was a difficult period. But Gigi helped me look at everything from positive side» , - Zane said earlier in his interview.

Let us remember that the romance between the singer and the supermodel began in 2015. A year later, Malik proposed to Hadid, but was refused - then the girl did not want to rush things. Their romance continued to the delight of fans, but in March of this year the lovers officially announced their separation. True, a month later eyewitnesses noticed them together again. This is true love!
