Zayn Malik Discusses Leaving One Direction & Musical Future
FUSE TV - Zayn Malik Discusses Leaving One Direction & Musical Future
Eight months after departing One Direction, Zayn Malik has opened up for the first time about his decision to leave the group, his standing relationship with the remaining 1D members and his future as a solo artist in the latest Fader cover story.
In one of the engrossing story’s more revealing passages, Malik says that he struggled with his lack of creative input in One Direction’s music. “There was never any room for me to experiment creatively in the band,” Malik says. “If I would sing a hook or a verse slightly R&B, or slightly myself, it would always be recorded 50 times until there was a straight version that was pop, generic as fuck, so they could use that version. Whenever I would suggest something, it was like it didn’t fit us. There was just a general conception that the management already had of what they want for the band, and I just wasn’t convinced with what we were selling. I wasn’t 100 percent behind the music. It wasn’t me. It was music that was already given to us, and we were told this is what is going to sell to these people. As much as we were the biggest, most famous boy band in the world, it felt weird. We were told to be happy about something that we weren’t happy about.”
