Zayn malik pillow talk video download11/14/2022 ![]() ![]() Perhaps the only disappointment is that Zayn doesn’t experiment a bit more, but there will be time for that. Musically, it’s effective, sparse, classy and impactful. There’s room for invention when he inevitably takes it to the arenas, and it’s the perfect first single for a new step in his career. Vocally, Zayn plays it totally safe, and he’s very wise to do so. Or even Miguel, actually, with whom Zayn is going to have to compete in the vocal stakes as more singles trickle out. ![]() There’s nothing wrong with that, particularly, but wouldn’t it have been nice to hear Zayn really opening up his instrument? While it’s a fine performance, it’s not exactly Mariah. ![]() In fact, the vocal range of the whole song is A flat up to that top B, just a smidge over a single octave. We’re calling this new breed of malaise ‘Zayngst’. Placing the melody at this limit is a classic pop trick, as it ramps up emotional engagement and the illusion of real struggle - something that fits in perfectly with this new, angsty version of Zayn, no longer required to run around on command like The Monkees. The chorus melody deliberately plays close to the edge of his tenor range, shooting up to a top B. When we hit the chorus, though, we get a glimpse of Zayn’s range. Inventive, memorable, and precisely the kind of hook that makes a song sink into your head without you realising it. Listen to how he sings “Nobody but you, ‘body but me, ‘body but us, bodies together”: he makes it skip with triplets against the prevailing tempo, reigning them in beautifully and hypnotically. Thanks to that easy bed, Zayn’s ad-libs become super-playful. It means that, in keeping with making this a simple song to sing, all he has to do is variously rattle up and down that pentatonic scale to achieve an impressive sound. The vocal melody in the verses is almost purely pentatonic, clinging desperately to those black notes and very rarely stepping beyond. And even on piano, this will be no trouble.īut back to Zayn’s performance. ![]()
