Zayn Malik

Take it as you want.

Yeah, so the new album Connor Call is the derivative of a lot of inspiration from, you know, my Indian heritage and culture.

I've always put, you know, like little soul things in there, little ad libs here and there, even on Dustal Dawn with Sia.

And it's something I've always liked to show the world, you know, like I can sing like this too.

So we went into that a little bit more.

Conoco is, in its definition, is the act of creating percussive sounds with your voice, so like drum sounds.

So I made a lot of the production out of my own voice.

So I'm singing like layers and layers of different vocals to make the beat.

And once we started doing it, like for first three, four songs, I was like, yeah, the whole record needs to be like this.

So just let into that and drew a lot of inspiration from that.

Yeah.

It's my voice, even the drum sounds and stuff on some of them.

Yeah.

Like I've been affected to make them sound like a drum, but I'm singing it.

I've had that song for years.

I've had that song for like...

five, six years, I think.

I had it even before Room.

Caught it a while ago, and it was just a great song, but it didn't feel like it fit on Room, because Room was such a raw, different kind of singer-songwriter project thing, that it felt too produced and too clean and crisp, but I didn't write that song.

I have no problem professing when I don't write songs either.
