Almost one year on since he abandoned his One Direction bandmates (or enemies if you believe the tabloids), Zayn Malik's dropped his debut solo effort, 'Pillow Talk'. I can't imagine any of the other band members having the same solo appeal, perhaps because Zayn's voice has always been (perhaps with the exception of Harry Styles) the outfit. Appeal aside, no one expected his first outing after his musical divorce to be so bloody good. It's anthemic to say the least, meeting at the intersection of RnB and pop perfectly. Singing about pissing off his neighbours having what I can only imagine is very loud and obnoxious sex, the thick beat is soaked in x-rated imagery and the production is far more grown up than you might expect. If he keeps this up he'll have so many hits under his belt he won't ever need to regret his decision to chuck all that future 1D cash away.
