Zayn | New Album 'Room Under The Stairs', His Daughter Khai, Pennsylvania

Since we lost Liam I’ve started listening back to all kinds of interviews of the boys just to feel connected to the band and to Liam. I feel like they carried me through insanely dark times in my life and now with liams passing I am in proper grieving mode….i just can’t get over it and can’t comprehend it. And somehow it just helps to feel close to one of the boys….i love you zayn. Miss you li.

Guys... that's because he is promoting a new album. I think cuz this sound is so different for him... he needed to do this & cause a stir. Good for him, I hope he sells millions of albums.

[@willowthewindbelow]

I think he is a lot more comfortable with a long form style and people he is comfortable with. So I expect he would also want to go on Drew Barrymore.

[@LataAkter-sj8mi]

​@@SusanLaskowski-kb8pgwell zayn has never been one to stay in this pretentious industry and to sell his soul to be a media darling by doing trivial,idealised and pr things to feed money for the big media industries and shoving themselves into our faces with random fake narratives. The more is revealed abt this industry (secret Grammys committees, EPSTEIN TRAFFICKING LIST, P. Diddy etc) the MORE my respect for zayn increases even more that he saw it for wht it is and chose to stay out of it. Even Yolanda first leaked gigi's pregnancy and sold her OWN granddaughter's face to the paps but Z is insistent to keep far away out of it. But you can literally see how much more comfortable he is in interviews and just how much more open he is compared to other ones from his past! He's working on his decades long anxiety and the conversations he's having are so mature and also correlating with my headspace it makes me wanna cry 😢. Z has hus own fan base that stays dedicated and loyal to him and listens to his music even with 0.01% content over years bc they genuinely do just love his music and his personality they would like but don't need/DEMAND content from him to stay a fan, some have been #1 on Z for 6-8 years and others are more newer fans like 3 years in zquad or sm even less. Zayn only utilises this industry to put out his music and artistic expression, and keep his ability/connections to collaborate with other personnels musically so he can release the best work in the vibe he wants to.And speaking of, Room Under The Stairs is zahns first album with his new label mercy records, so it needs cause some stir anyways. RUTS needs to be more successful and bring in more money than any other artist who's on Mercury's waiting list. Labels don't just keep artists who don't constantly bring in money and Z fans need to understand that maybe not reach #1 (maybe zayn himself dosnt want all that commotion,expectation,unnecessary judgement from ppl who know only the most surface value things as he jeeps saying he doesnt like to go to the commotion of this fake industry) RUTS need to be a big stir otherwise Z might lose his "voice"/ability to make music in the long-term. If u listen to his unofficial rap album from mid-2021 called Yellow Metal, which he just posted a link on X to for his fans who r still there, u will see how much he hates the industry and he talks passionately abt many causes there, police racism, lying politicians, environment, fake friends, temporary nature of this industry, airport racism and school racism in 90s, and UK,Palestine,his persona,the next/current generation etc he says "attentions seekers their span is weak" "my eyes are set to [the] summit and I see u bitc#es plummet" "they say they will never kill another unless that brothers skin is brown" "its f the feds till they stop killing coloured" "this industry's a cage" "my name ain't on the list unless it's "ethnic"" "you say my skins quite fair (or smth like that), take up my name in a flight and try to convince immigration that ur bloodlines half white" he tells his cousins to work hard he disses sm celebs he says he "heals ppl like a clinic" etcetc

[@knockshinnoch1950]

Zayn is intelligent and articulate. So much positive energy and tempered with a calm humility.

[@Leslieh2138]

I’ve never watched Zach interviews, but this was so beautiful. You could tell zayn was so touched that his message was understood by someone. Zayn is so critiqued and you can tell he’s nervous that he’ll be misunderstood, because the public has for so long. You can tell zayn would get so happy when Zach would express his understanding of the lyric. Zayn has grown so much as an artist and human being. It’s been so beautiful to watch. I’m so proud. I truly believe he continues to learn from his mistakes and is a good person. All the boys did. Their One direction era had so many beautiful moments, but also some extremely hard ones that meant they had to do a lot of healing. I am devastated that Liam struggled. Made some terrible choices. Drugs caused so much damage to that sweet boy we first met. I’m still so proud cause I know he did try.. they all are.

[@valeskacanas9187]

I'm glad you said "all the boys did" people usually lay the blame Squarely Zayn. But ZAYN'S feelings were valid back then. Feelings aren't always logical and we don't always respond in a perfect logical way. I truly believe if ZAYN hadn't taken action back then, if he hadn't left the band...he may not be alive today. I know it sounds dramatic but when you're stuck in that mental health quicksand it's difficult to get out.

[@Leslieh2138]

⁠@@valeskacanas9187 I agree. Thoughts can be so overwhelming and that brings people to terrible logic. I think people forget that they were children! Everyone sees Justin Bieber and sends him grace, because of what Hollywood did to him. Rightfully so of course. That grace and understanding is not given to the boys. Growing up the way they did comes with trauma. Different than most, but trauma nonetheless.

i know we’re all happy to finally to get to know the real zayn after all these years, but let’s also give notice to how incredibly genuine and sincere the interviewer to create this safe space for zayn to have this authentic and heartfelt conversation. Kudos to this channel! Thank you 🙏🏼💙

It's so nice to see Zayn mature; he has a message many young people need to hear for their own happiness. A person doesn't have to have a kid to get there, but some do. (In fact, far too many adults don't mature despite becoming parents.) The ideas of perspective and how that ties to happiness and gratefulness for what comes your way regardless of how you label it. He's turned into a well-balanced grounded person.

[@valeskacanas9187]

He's 31 years old he's definitely not 17 or 21 years old anymore so you'd hope people naturally mature, plus he is a dad so one would hope for maturity in responsibility and care for their child. I guess people say it's so nice to see Zayn mature...because he very nearly didn't get to grow old...so many kids in entertainment and music industry don't make it. Zayn nearly didn't make it out of 1D over worked, micro managed, ostracised, controlled, creatively stunted and held back, "mysterious" caricature attached to him forever, nobody listening to him, feeling like a prop or puppet, developing an eating disorder, depression, melancholy, getting crippinly anxiety...if he hadn't snapped to action taken the risk to leave then perhaps he would have remained young forever never making it past his early 20s. Then later because he left the band and because he was pro Palestine. The death threats the nasty racial name calling and vilification, the vitriol, the ostracation, the global hatred from 1D stans and the media, the constant smear and black balling, the deliberate blacklisting from music, entertainment, touring industries. Pretty heavy stuff to go through on ones own, at early to mid 20s, without protection from the industry sharks and draconian record label contracts such as syco, modest management and RCA Sony.

I don't get what r u trying to say here?​@valeskacanas9187

[@dothaigiathuy]

This is just wow. Im lost for words . He presents such security, warmth and so much wisdom through his way of being . It’s truly the most magical thing to see a human finding oneself; He has this light to him that you don’t come across very often. An exceptionally raw and stunning interview❤ My heart is so full just by watching this.

[@hlalelwakunene4638]

Best interview I've witnessed in a (long) while....so personal, so integral and so very humane, like I've never wanted to know what an interviewer is gonna ask next more than this one, and i applaud you for that...very exceptionally done👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 beautiful all around 🎉🫂

[@Directioner_forever301]

Am i the only one who loves when zayn talks about khai? i feel like when the time will come and she will be able to be on camera she’s gonna be so cute but am pretty sure she’s already so cute i just love it when he talks about her u know

[@Ary00712]

Made our king comfortable, asked respectful questions and patiently waited for him to finish his words, well done zach loved to watch zayn in his element!

[@rosedavenport7893]

This was one of the best interviews I've seen Zayn do. He is so relaxed and open to all the questions asked. His perspective on the path that has led him to where he is at this moment is so in tune with his attitude about life in general and prioritizing what is important to him. Zach did a great job making it feel like a conversation and not an interview when he took the time to let Zayn answer the question asked and not already into the next one in his (Zach's) mind. He waited and listened. ❤❤❤. Great job

[@gabbrielyz]

zayn is the sweetest, funniest and most talented man!

[@razoonwesley]

This might be one of the best - if not THE best - interview Zayn has ever done! Loved how they talked about each track in detail. What a deep and raw conversation. Thank you so much for having ZAYN! I know I will be watching it over and over again. Can’t wait for Room Under The Stairs to drop! ♥️

[@valrojas16]

seeing him this calm and at peace during an interview makes me so happy, i'm so glad he's doing better and is genuinely happy. So excited to hear the new album!

[@mcoleenroberts87]

One of the best interviews , I could listen to these two talk all day . Zach really knows how to have a conversation, not just an interview

[@ILoveCookie3]

All of Zach’s interviews are incredible. They always feel like a conversation that happened to be captured rather than a planned interview

[@nwokedorisnnenna]

Why am I smiling hard, It's really nice to hear him genuinely talk about himself

[@sxmpxp]

He's such a humble human person with so much wisdom, it is truly a gift to finally get to know him better and the record its a masterpiece, his best work yet and one of the greatests this year.

[@samgc3411]

This is his best interview, it feels really good to see zayn being this honest and open. The way he talks about his daughter and the meaning of every song of RUTS IM SO EXCITED. Thank you Zach for this 🫶🏻

[@whendaegumetbusan4121]

I'm in awe of this beautiful man. He has made himself so emotionally vulnerable and raw with this album and it's beautiful to witness. He's so honest and thoughtful with his answers. It's so refreshing, and I'm rooting for him to continue being this happy and confident. I can't wait to hear this album.

[@RaniaBhatti]

I love Zayn being able to do long interviews like this finally and being comfortable doing that and expanding his horizons ❤

[@teiaalexander7131]

Appreciate your understanding of Zayn and asked appropriate questions and not stray from the album concept! Zayn and Zach great team!

[@adindaputerifitriana1750]

it's so calming and happy to see zayn could do such kind of interview... i'm so glad seeing u could get better with your mental health.... I am so proud of u my man, be healthy always

[@silvertonguesfitf]

*ZAYN deserves all the happiness in the world💛, he's unique, I never I met someone so special, he is humble, he was never interested in money, in the industry, he makes music because it is his happiness, and he shares with us his voice from another world. And it gives me a lot of peace, like it's just him and me in the universe. It's a wonderful feeling, his music can heal hearts, and it saves our lives. My words will never be enough to describe how much I love him, admire him, and that I am blessed to have him in my life. I will never stop thanking him enough* :') 🌟💛✨

[@sandrasanchez4486]

I’ve loved this man during OneDirection and still do now, he has such a calming presence/aura

[@sfmmmo7599]

Omg!! I love the way you interview peolple, this is perfect for Zayn. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!! 🛐🛐

[@rachelfernandes115]

After watching this, i feel Zayn has definitely moved on in a good way. He went through the worst part and got a beautiful daughter out of this. He for sure will find the love he deserves, No drama of a mother in law in his life. If meant to be he will be with Gigi, if not its ok, He is a great human being and deserves someone who matches his energy. For now his hands are full with his daughter growing up. May God help his career grow and bless him with Joy, love and prosperity. So nice to see this side of him. the world should wake up and realize he is a gem of an artist and a human being.

[@bunch3008]

I really found he and gigi was perfect. Just they met in wrong time. Yk early 20s people haven't any idea of responsibilities and stuffs. And I think gigi and zayn haven't any bad blood between them. Yolanda is the problem. Really wish zayn and gigi back together ❤😭
