Zayn Malik`s solo record to be `very soulful`

Los Angeles:Producer-songwriter Naughty Boy has revealed singer Zayn Malik's new solo album will be "very soulful".

According to the producer, the 22-year-old former One Direction singer's solo project will be "worth the wait", reported Ace Showbiz.

"He's making a very soulful record. He's writing himself on it as well. I think it's worth the wait. The less I say about it, the better.

"I think it'll all make sense soon. Zayn's his own man, no one can tell Zayn what to do, especially me," he said during a chat with the UK.'s Capital FM.

A few weeks ago, Malik's solo music was previewed with a leaked cover of Rae Sremmurd's "No Type".

Following the leak, Naughty Boy said he and Zayn had nothing to do with the track.
