Zayn Malik Releases Album "Room Under the Stairs"

British singer and songwriter Zayn Malik released Friday his fourth solo album, "Room Under the Stairs".

The 15-track album features lead single “What I Am”, as well as tracks including “Alienated,” “My Woman,” Stardust,” “Something in the Water,” “Fuchsia Sea” and more.

"Room Under the Stairs" will mark the former One Direction alum's first full-length solo project since 2021’s "Nobody Is Listening".

The 31-year star dipped his toes into the country world for the new album, telling Nylon earlier this month that he likes the depth of the genre’s music. 

“People are in search of a little bit more depth from the lyrics. In the Top 40 charts, a lot of mainstream music feels a bit wishy-washy,” he shared. ”The songs are f—ing fire. You know what I mean? They’re catchy. They’re playing on the radio and they do their job, but people are looking for a little bit more.”

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

After leaving One Direction in 2015, Malik launched his solo music career with 2016’s "Mind of Mine" and followed it up with 2018’s "Icarus Falls".

On the other hand, the singer is pulling a triple duty in the upcoming animated movie "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.

He 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 life, 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.”
