New Zayn Malik music is finally on the way. The former One Direction star, 30, signed a new record deal with Mercury Records and wiped his Instagram feed on Tuesday and posted a video, which showed him sitting on a motorbike and revving the engine.
A link posted on his social media profiles guides fans to a "pre-save" website where they access the new music from his fourth solo album when it launches.

Malik's new music is expected to be released "this summer", according to Billboard.
Tyler Arnold, the president of Malik's new label Mercury Records, said that the new material will mark a major departure from the sound that defined his previous hits such as Pillowtalk and I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.
“As soon as Zayn and I met, I knew we had to work together. I was blown away by the new music, but just as impressed by his vision, drive, and spirit," Arnold told Billboard.
He added, "We’re honored he and his team have joined us at Mercury Records. We’ve got an incredible opportunity to tell the next chapter of his story together."
Malik was previously signed to RCA Records. He released solo albums with them: "Mind of Mine" (2016), Icarus Falls" (2018), and "Nobody Is Listening" (2021).
The new music comes two years after the release of his third album, "Nobody Is Listening" (2021).
"Mind of Mine" was released one year after the pop star parted ways with the record-breaking group One Direction, and was his most successful album by far.
Malik became the first British male artist to debut at number one in both the UK and the US. He was also only the third artist in history to debut at number one on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 charts.
