The former One Direction man gets jiggy with Gigi Hadid in the new promo
Zayn Malik has just released his saucy solo single, 'Pillowtalk', which is basically a three-minute paen to exchanging bodily fluids.
The former One Direction singer gets to give his American fashion model amour, Gigi Hadid, some lustful squeezes in the video before she starts crying tears of blood. Directed by Bouha Kazmi, we're also treated to high-heeled pony girl boxers, some Pete Townshend-style guitar smashing and a pink flower bursting out of another model's front-bottom.
Musically there are shades of both Rihanna and The Weeknd, plus rude lyrics like: “In your bed all day, fucking you and fighting on, it’s our paradise and it’s our war zone."
“I think I’m pretty black and white about what it’s about," he told the Sunday Times. "Everybody has sex and it’s something people want to hear about. It’s part of everybody’s life, a very big part of life! You don’t want to sweep it under the carpet. It has to be talked about.”
A very obvious exercise in shedding his boy band persona, which will doubtless split the 1D vote.
