Though Zayn Malik hasn’t released an album in nearly three years, the singer once described his 2021 record, ‘Nobody is Listening,’ as his “most personal” album to date. It was supported by streaming hits like ‘Better’ and ‘Vibez.’
It’s unclear whether either will ultimately make Malik’s fourth album, but it does indicate he’s kept those creative juices flowing.
With a new year, that means a new musical era might be just over the horizon. According to the star, a new album is likely coming sooner than later. Here is everything we know about Malik’s fourth album.
When will Zayn Malik release his new album?
Currently, there is no definitive release date set for Zayn Malik’s fourth studio album or a lead single. But over the last six months, the singer has given tidbits and clues into where he’s headed next, musically and lyrically.
In October 2023, Malik gave Billboard an update on new music. “I’m putting the finishing touches on it right now, I’m ready for this to be shared with the world. Excited and ready,” he said.
Things appear to be more ready than he let on at that time. In a January 2024 chat with Rolling Stone, he dropped a few teasers. “I’m doing a record I don’t think people are really gonna expect,” he said. “It’s a different sound for me, and it’s got some more narrative going on, like real-life experiences and stuff. My daughter’s mentioned in there a couple of times.”
In January 2024, Malik was seen signing autographs for fans in France. At the time, he briefly mentioned that the album was “coming soon” and that he was “actually going for a rehearsal.”
Later on Instagram, the performer shared a batch of photos, one of which included a performance/rehearsal of some sort. It could also indicate rehearsal for a new song before properly entering the studio. “Long time coming,” he captioned.
Fans immediately began speculating whether “long time coming” was a glimpse into the new music. “Is the song called ‘Long Time Coming’? Is the album called ‘Long Time Coming’? IS THE TOUR CALLED ‘LONG TIME COMING’???? WHAT IS IT,” exclaimed one fan.
