JAKARTA - Singer Zayn Malik has just released an album titled Nobody is Listening on January 15. This album marks Zayn Malik's return to the music scene after releasing his last album Icarus Falls in 2018.

Known as an introverted figure, Zayn Malik did not do big promotion with his new album. However, recently, he did an Instagram Live which showed himself listening to the album Nobody is Listening.

The session was also used by the singer who was born on January 12 to greet his fans in New York, where he lives. It was 6 in the morning.

While playing the Nobody is Listening album, the Gigi Hadid couple were seen smoking and drinking a bottle of beer. The former One Direction member is also seen eating pizza while talking about his musical activities.

“I recorded a song today. It may seem strange. I just sat at the computer, "he said in the Instagram Live session.

As it turns out, what Zayn Malik did is leaving confusion among fans on Twitter. Not a few of them asked why he played the song so loud in the morning. In addition, fans also suspect that his idol is consuming marijuana.

Creative Process

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid welcomed their first child in September 2020. Both are enjoying their new roles as parents. This is one reason why fans react to seeing his idol's 'strange' behavior.

"Why is Zayn consuming marijuana and listening to loud music and sparkling lights at six in the morning when he has a baby at home?" said one fan.

Zayn Malik and marijuana are inseparable. Since he decided to leave One Direction, the Dusk Till Dawn singer admitted to consuming marijuana as part of his musical creative process.

"(Marijuana) sometimes helps the creative process of music, if you consume good marijuana," he said. Even through an interview with NME, Zayn Malik said that consuming marijuana had become a habit for him.

However, he never said when he came into contact with marijuana. “I don't want to say it because I don't want to influence other people. It's something only I do. "

On the other hand, that statement did surprise fans. But some photos of Zayn Malik smoking in the past consciously unconsciously remind fans that this is not a new habit for his idol.

Trying to be comfortable in front of the public

Zayn Malik's name cannot be separated from the boy group One Direction, where he started his musical career. As a member of the world's leading pop group, Malik has been through hard times.

For Zayn Malik, being in a music group doesn't suit him. He also seemed not ready to face the increasing popularity.

Zayn Malik announced he was leaving One Direction in 2015 because he wanted to be a regular person. But a few months later, he released the song Pillowtalk as a marker of his solo career.

Since then, the 28-year-old has made controversial statements about One Direction. One of them, he said, the image of One Direction did not match his character. The statement is unfortunate for fans and group members such as Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Niall Horan.

However, Zayn Malik fans defended the idol. They asked netizens to stop making assumptions about their idol life.

Not a few of them said it took time for Zayn Malik to appear to show what it is in public. As is known, in 2017, Zayn Malik once shared his experience of dealing with anxiety and mental health.

For that reason, he admits that he cannot appear in front of many people, so holding concerts and promoting his new project is a challenge. This Instagram Live session is one of the things Zayn Malik can do comfortably.

Along with fans' concerns, Zayn Malik was reluctant to respond to the controversy their artist made.
