Adam Bub
Welcome to Zayn 2.0.
That's the message we get from Zayn Malik in a new video teaser for his interview with The Fader magazine. It's his first full chat since leaving One Direction in March, no less.
In the clip, the 22-year-old recalls the pressure of being told "told what to do" over five years in the band – and his newfound "liberation". In the background, we get a taste of his first solo single, 'Befour'.
