Malik also plays a line of folksy electric guitar in the last track “River Road,” giving the song a polished and high-end feel. Throughout the album, Malik maintains a fresh electro-pop sound - his first track, “Calamity,” even incorporates some melodic rap. Of those tracks, Malik has two collaborations - one with American hip-hop singer-songwriter Syd, who is featured on the fifth track “When Love’s Around,” and the other with English rapper Devlin on the ninth track “Windowsill.” These features continue a trend of high-profile celebrity musician collaborations for Malik, who has previously worked with artists like Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Timbaland, Sia, and Kehlani. Unlike his first two solo projects, “Mind of Mine” and “Icarus Falls,” “Nobody Is Listening” is quite short with only 11 tracks and a run time of about 30 minutes. In the days leading up to the release, Malik even created a hotline that fans could dial to hear excerpts of the new songs.

He kept his fans in suspense by releasing yet another single, “Vibez,” just days before the release of the full record. In his usual style, Malik teased the album a few months before its drop, releasing the lead single “Better” on September 25 of last year. This is the singer-songwriter’s second big announcement of the year, following the birth of his daughter in September of 2020.
“Nobody is Listening” is Malik’s third solo album since his decision to separate from the critically-acclaimed boy band One Direction in March of 2015. The release date coincides with Malik’s 28th birthday, as if the album were his birthday gift to his fans.
Dedicated to his long-time partner Gigi Hadid, the album has a deeply personal touch that few artists are able to achieve. With his long-awaited album “Nobody Is Listening,” singer-songwriter Zayn Malik delivered a selection of emotional and distinctly love-driven songs.
