    “Nobody Is Listening” is concise and to the point, breezing through 11 songs in 35 minutes. While each of his albums has been a reboot, this one is the most dramatic of all — and clears the table for whatever might be coming next.

    Even though the album isn't as immediate as his prior work, it rewards repeated listens and some concentration, a smooth experience fit for wasting a day away between the sheets.

    With minimal production and few moments of experimentation, the album is flawed and doesn’t add much to Zayn’s musicality, but it indicates that he’s achieved some sort of clarity on the direction he wants to take as a solo artist.

    The record reaches its peak with the one-two punch of “Tightrope” and “River Road,” delicate closing statements and two of Malik’s best songs to date.

    I think you should put your prejudices aside and give this album a chance. Zayn is much more open and honest in this album. You can enjoy hisI think you should put your prejudices aside and give this album a chance. Zayn is much more open and honest in this album. You can enjoy his unique vocals in it, which is adorned with songs that will move you at any moment with their sexy tones. I think the usage of the guitar notes are great. Any song on this album pushes me to do little dance moves. Just one of them is great in terms of lyrics but the way it's sung was not for my taste. Overall, it has no skips! Really enjoyed while listening.… Full Review »
