one diection used to mean a lot to me, but i've slowly grown out of them in these past two years. zayn was always my favorite because he seemed to be a genuinely sweet guy and the fact that he was a person of color and a muslim, made me a bit more protective of him cause he dealt with a lot of racist and islamophobic shit that never really get covered by the media (cause suddenly people don't care when it comes to that). haven't been really keeping up with him, but i'm excited to see what he comes out with.

the interview is wonderful, everyone should read it

"I can map every lyric and every note to mean something to me. It’s a snapshot of my life and the thoughts on my life, my hopes, my aspirations, and my regrets in the summer of 2015."
 
“I always felt that I got some favoritism sometimes in certain places because the fans obviously want to relate to someone that’s similar to them,†he says, having consumed the spliff and moved on to a cigarette. “I’m just a normal person as well as following my religion, and doing all the normal things that everybody else does. I love music and I get tattoos and I make mistakes, and I’ve had to go through relationships and break up relationships. I feel proud that people actually look to me and can see themselves in that.†I ask if that attention makes him feel pressure to set a good example, and Zayn replies, “I don’t feel like I felt pressure ever. I always felt good that I was, like, first of my kind in what I was doing. I enjoyed that I brought the diversity. But I would never be trying to influence anything or try to stamp myself as a religious statement or portrayal of anything. I am me. I’m just doing me.â€
 
Even benign subjects like how Zayn became known as “the mysterious one†raise endless questions. Did he appear mysterious because management forced him to play that role—and if they did, was Zayn seen as mysterious because of the color of his skin? Or was he naturally withholding because he felt creatively exiled within the group? Or was it simply because on a few unlucky press days he just didn’t feel like talking? Zayn says there were plenty of times where an interviewer, having only asked questions of his bandmates, would turn to him and suggest, “Zayn you’ve been awfully quiet.†“I’m actually quite easy, a happy-go-lucky sort of guy,†he says, “but there was a lot of situations that were almost created to make me be portrayed as the mysterious or quiet one. I guess that’s just something that people buy into, and it helps them sell things. It’s a product that’s already designed, and it sells.â€

I loved that whole interview. It's really long but I read it. It just seemed so genuine and from the first look he does really look like he has a lot of writing talent. He also has a voice for it, I'm excited to see what he has to give! I love him so much.

this was a very interesting read, very honest too. one direction was never gonna try to go r&b lol, they love indie pop rock too much for that, it was obvious when they voted to cover teenage dirtbag and zayn refused.

 

malay praises him!!! i'm excited abt his album tbh

 

also loved that he wrote a song from his dad's perspective and about people he has met  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Talking to Fader, the 22-year-old pop star said: 'There was never any room for me to experiment creatively in the band. [it was] generic as f**k. That's not music that I would listen to. Would you listen to One Direction, sat at a party with your girl? I wouldn't.' 

 

Describing the group's chart-topping sound as something he would rather not listen, Zayn  revealed that as much as he 'loved' the band, the music was never something he could get int

 

Defending what his sure to be a controversial view point with his fans and those of the band, he made clear that it's only his honest opinion and not something he means to cause harm with.

'I don't think that's an offensive statement to make. That's just not who I am,' he explained. 'If I was sat at a dinner date with a girl, I would play some cool s***, you know what I mean? I want to make music that I think is cool s***. I don't think that's too much to ask for.'#DEAD

Revealing the extent to which his friendships with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan have been destroyed, he revealed that the only member he talks to still is Liam.
