Malik wears a tight black dress with an open V-neckline for this video, often gazing wistfully into the camera lens or staring intently out a window. Long shots create an air of grandiosity while human figures seem smaller; this visual motif is further reinforced through costuming and cinematography.
Icarus Falls
As soon as Zayn Malik left One Direction in 2016, many wondered whether he could sustain himself on his own. After all, he rose to fame with millions of teenage fans behind him before debuting solo album Mind of Mine which achieved significant commercial success – yet since then hasn’t quite managed to sustain this momentum and reach success on its own.
Icarus Falls may mark a final farewell to former boy band superstar, 25-year-old Dax Shephard. Inspired by Greek mythology’s Icarus who flew too close to the sun and burned himself with heatstroke, his sophomore release offers an honest portrayal of his struggle to reach his full potential.
“Satisfaction,” the opening track on Malik’s album, opens with thudding drum beats and his hauntingly soft voice, detailing some of the hardships associated with being a pop star and singing about superficiality within his peer group. Subsequent tracks on this record explore more subdued tones: songs such as “Back to Life” and “There You Are,” depict a fall from grace but eventually Malik is saved by love from women he encounters along his journey.
Malik has made waves not only with his music but also in fashion. He collaborates with footwear designer Giuseppe Zanotti and is currently developing men’s shoes for Versace. Additionally, Malik signed on as executive producer of an upcoming television series called Boys that follows a fictional boy band as they climb their way up the charts of fame.
Though Icarus Falls starts strong, its remaining tracks become monotonous quickly. Their production doesn’t diverge enough from Mind of Mine’s style; their run time of 27 tracks doesn’t help either as songs feel longer than necessary and their similar instrumental production makes distinguishing between songs difficult; thus making Icarus Falls an exhausting listen.
BeFoUr
BeFoUr, the fourth single from Mind of Mine, is an emotive song that captures its spirit perfectly. The lyrics evoke feelings of empowerment and self-reflection while encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves and live life on their terms. beFoUr has earned widespread critical acclaim from music critics for its smooth vocal performance and meaningful lyrics penned by Zayn.

BeFoUr’s message encourages young people to stay true to themselves and not conform to society expectations, something especially pertinent today in a world plagued by sexual abuse and racial tensions. It has resonated worldwide audiences everywhere – part of Zayn’s musical legacy.
PillowTalk
