The singer released his latest album on Friday and he previously opened up about his creative process, explaining that his record features \u201cSouth Asian influences\u201d.<\/p>\n
He told ELLE India magazine: \u201cI got into the studio, booked in for 14 days \u2026 the process was trying to create this vision I had in my mind that didn\u2019t exist anywhere else.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was no point of reference I could pull from or say, \u2018I want it to be like this\u2019. Even though I was drawing from Konnakol in terms of the technique and bringing in South Asian influences, it was still something I\u2019m proposing to a Western market, and I wanted it to still be R\u2019n\u2019B but have that flavour.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just had to freestyle a bit on the mic and see what came out naturally and build from there. We started with a click, didn\u2019t even have a drum, which gave us the starting point, and built the track around the ad-libs and Konnakol influences, and then wrote over the track in English.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Malik – who was due to attend an album playback session \u2013 hasn\u2019t shared any further details about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385139,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[74,1558,430,31406,156,2740,134,28750,3192,47006,8732,111,139,69,5270,6661,2737,43211,102,47005],"class_list":{"0":"post-385138","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-after","9":"tag-been","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-direction","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-former","14":"tag-health","15":"tag-hospitalised","16":"tag-illness","17":"tag-malik","18":"tag-mystery","19":"tag-new-zealand","20":"tag-newzealand","21":"tag-nz","22":"tag-one","23":"tag-scare","24":"tag-star","25":"tag-suffering","26":"tag-with","27":"tag-zayn"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
