Former One Direction star Zayn Malik has revealed that his latest album will take inspiration from Indian music.
Zayn Malik says that his next album will have "Indian influences".
The former One Direction singer has promised that his fifth studio record is coming next year and suggested that it will be similar to his 2016 chart-topping solo debut Mind of Mine.
Zayn is quoted by The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column as saying: "The next album is soon.
"I have been working on some cool s*** in South Asian music and bringing those influences into my music as well.
"It is like pop, R+B, and a lot of Indian influences. The record is like a continuation of Mind of Mine in that sense. I might have some songs coming out in Urdu, too."
The Pillowtalk hitmaker revealed that fans would soon hear new music that he has worked on with a "cool collaborator".
Zayn, 32, said: "I've got some new music coming out soon with another cool collaborator. That is coming out first.
