Zayn Planning First Major Solo Tour In Support of New Album

BY TER STAFF

Despite a successful start to his solo career and a huge No. 2 record with Taylor Swift, Zayn Malik has yet to take his music and debut album on the road. While his former One Direction bandmates, like Harry Styles and Niall Horan, have performed a plethora of tour dates and radio shows, Zayn has had very limited time on stage since leaving 1D.

But that may soon change, as Zayn revealed to Billboard that he is planning a major tour in support of his new album. With levels of anxiety that have caused Zayn to cancel a number of international performances, and which has certainly delayed a potential tour, this news is huge for Malik’s fans.

We can’t wait to see what Zayn has in store next.

Ahead of their anticipated performance at ComplexCON, N.E.R.D, which is comprised of Pharrell, Chad Hugo and Shay Hayley, has returned with their first new track since 2010.

With a rare rap verse from Rihanna, ‘Lemon’ has that classic N.E.R.D sound, proving that the trio hasn’t lost a step. Although Pharrell confirmed that the group was working on new music in 2015, the new record still comes as a big surprise to music fans everywhere. Let’s just hope that an entire album and a forthcoming tour will soon follow.

Watch N.E.R.D’s music video for ‘Lemon’ below.

We’re siding with GOOD Music for CyHi The Prynce’s new Kanye West-assisted single ‘Dat Side’. Off CyHi’s forthcoming and highly anticipated debut album, No Dope On Sundays, the new track also marks the first new music from Kanye West in months, only increasing fans’ anticipation for his full return.

The track also has fans chirping whether or not the track is at all aimed at Taylor Swift, who recently referenced Kanye in her new album’s first single, ‘Look What You Made Me Do’. In ‘Dat Side’, which features cover art very similar to Swift’s upcoming LP, Kanye raps:

“People claim they praying for you, really they be preying on you,
all this shit is weighing on you, don’t look back they gaining on you,
Ye look down they aiming for you, all this shit is draining on you,
and them people claim to know you, put em on get famous on you,
then they go and blame it on you, you this good they can’t ignore you,
they don’t respect who came before em and made they lane,
so I pull the lambo out, and went and got it baptized”

Shots at Swift or not, ‘Dat Side’ is definitely a hot track and a must listen.
