Zayn Malik has fans absolutely buzzing with a teaser for his new track, titled Fuchsia Sea.
The soon to be released song is not just another song from the former One Direction member, it’s his debut foray into rap.
Taking to his official Instagram account in the early hours of Saturday, July 5, the Dusk Till Dawn hitmaker shared a retro-themed snippet of the song.
The clip flashed the text “FUCHSIA SEA” and “COMING SOON” over a visually striking music video.
In the clip, Zayn, 32, is seen from behind, wearing an oversized, colorful abstract art jacket, exuding an edgy vibe.
Throughout the video, scenes are filtered with negative effects, featuring Zayn descending a staircase, interspersed with shots of a sleek black car and moments of him sitting in a dimly lit studio.
In addition, the Pillowtalk hitmaker shared the lyrics of his new rap song on his Instagram Stories, sending his fans into a frenzy.
The comments section was flooded with excitement, with some dubbing him “the new Slim Shady from Bradford,” a nod to Eminem, famously known as the “Rap God.”
While some couldn’t help but joke, asking, “ZAYN, ARE YOU THE NEW EMINEM? [shocked emoji],” others showed their support, “Yeah, go off Lil Z, the new rapper [fire emoji],” encouraging him on his first attempt in the genre.
