Zayn Malik Announces New Album "Room Under the Stairs": Here's When It Arrives

Zayn Malik revealed Wednesday that he will release a fourth solo album, "Room Under the Stairs", on May 17.

He shared the news alongside a photo of the album’s cover art, featuring a silhouette of the 31-year-old singer’s face with a depiction of the space beneath the stairs of a home within his face.

Last year, Malik dropped the new single “Love Like This,” from the upcoming album, his first release of new music since 2021’s "Nobody Is Listening".

It has a busy year for the former One Direction singer, who is pulling triple duty in the upcoming animated feature "10 Lives", for which he will write new music and perform a duet with Bridgerton star Simone Ashley. 

Malik and Ashley will both star in the pic, in which the singer will play “tough-guy twins Cameron and Kirk,” with Ashley voicing a student named Rose.

Malik will also serve as the executive music producer on the movie, overseeing its musical creative direction. 

According to a description of director Chris Jenkins’ (Surf’s Up) movie, it is centered around a “pampered and selfish cat who takes his many lives for granted. After carelessly losing his ninth live, he begs for a second chance — and an opportunity to prove he can learn from his mistakes. When his wish is finally granted, however, he learns that it comes with some caveats.”
