Zayn Malik has surprised his fans all over the world with the announcement of his fifth studio album KONNAKOL.
Since the release of his 2024 album Room Under the Stairs, the former One Directioner took to social media and announced his new project, set to release on April 17.
"It’s that time again, I have been lucky enough to make a fifth studio album…" Malik wrote on Wednesday.
The new music announcement comes just after the 33-year-old singer completed his first Las Vegas residency, in which he performed on seven different nights at Dolby Live. The residency — which ran from Jan. 21 to Jan. 31 — is where Malik debuted several new unreleased songs, including "Die For Me," which the singer also announced will be released this Friday.

Malik rose to fame in the early 2010s after competing on the reality television series The X Factor and joining the world-famous boy band One Direction alongside members Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan. After five years of music releases and tours with the band, Malik announced his departure from One Direction in 2015 to focus more on himself and to take a break from the spotlight. The singer began his solo career in 2016 with the hit-single "Pillowtalk," which debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100. Since then, Malik has released four studio albums, with KONNAKOL expected to show off his artistry even further.
Anticipation and excitement for Malik's latest project is already at a high, and fans are greatly looking forward to the singer's newest era as an artist.
