This one has potential to be a track at dance clubs, although something – not sure what – seems missing.

Sample lyrics: "Hope I only leave good vibes on your living room floor // It hurt so bad that I didn’t when you asked for more // Your dad probably loves me more than he ever did now // Yeah we finally knocked down." No. Sure, it's the lead single but it's a little too cheesy/obvious. Indeed, the album does not disappoint, but there are songs that are better than others. USA TODAY listened to all the tracks on the new album and ranked them from OK to best. "(N)obody listening is so good thanks for never disappointing me and giving us such a great album," another said. "Zayn Malik creates nothing but masterpieces," one wrote on Twitter. Less sanitized, more real.Įarlier this week, Malik tweeted out a phone number fans could call to hear portions of the new album, which he has described as his "most personal project to date." It's the latest example of artists getting creative to promote their new works during the coronavirus pandemic, which has stifled traditional album rollouts.įans seem to have liked what they heard. Malik is coming into his own as an artist. The lyrics in many cases are more raw than you're used to and you'll hear an f-bomb or two. If you're a longtime fan, there's going to be a bit of an adjustment here. The opening track, "Calamity," for example, is essentially strictly vocals. The 11 tracks on Malik's latest album blur the lines between pop and R&B, with a decidedly stripped-down feel. It comes a little more than two years after his last release, "Icarus Falls." The former One Direction singer – who now goes simply by Zayn – dropped his third album, "Nobody Is Listening," Friday.
