AceShowbiz - Zayn has unveiled his latest single, "Sideways," an intimate R&B track that delves into reflections on a past relationship. This new song serves as a preview for his upcoming album, Konnakol, which is scheduled for release on April 17 through Mercury Records.

In "Sideways," Zayn expresses a poignant longing for lost romance with lyrics like "I miss lookin' at you sideways/ face-to-face with your lips on mine," and "our legs on the pillowcase/ sideways, late at night with your love lying next to mine." The song captures a tender and personal atmosphere, showcasing his rich vocal delivery and emotional depth.

The forthcoming album Konnakol follows the 2024 record Room Under the Stairs, a more stripped-back project created in collaboration with producer Dave Cobb. Earlier this year, Zayn released the emotionally charged lead single from the new album, titled "Die for Me." The production of Konnakol is handled by Zayn himself alongside Malay, who also contributed to his previous albums Mind of Mine and Icarus Falls.

Explaining the album's title, Zayn shared that "Konnakol in its definition is the act of creating percussive sounds with one's voice but what it means to me lies somewhere much deeper." He described it as a sound that resonates from a time before language existed, emphasizing his connection to his heritage. Zayn noted that this album represents a deeper understanding of his identity, origins, and artistic direction.

This new release continues to highlight Zayn's evolving sound and personal storytelling, promising a rich listening experience for fans anticipating Konnakol later this spring.
