Zayn Malik Going To Make “Real Music”
Former One Direction member Zayn Malik, who broke fans’ hearts when he left the band in March, has announced that he has signed to RCA records, where he intends to make what he described on Twitter as #realmusic. Malik tweeted that he had left the band “to show you who I really am.” He is working with R&B producer Malay, who has collaborated with singers including Frank Ocean and John Legend, and has signed with Iggy Azalea’s management company Turn First, where he will be guided by the same person, Sarah Stennett, in charge of the Australian rapper, suggesting that his new direction will be more adult and less pop than One Direction’s.
