âIt is fascinating when a boy in a boy band does not do what he has been told, and in that regard Zayn Malik is a fascinating character. Half Pakistani, heâs the hot one, and the only gesture toward diversity in what is otherwise a lily-white band. He wouldâor willâbe the breakout star, the one with a solo career.
Heâs also the only one capable of doing things with his voice that go beyond an above-average high-school musical theater performance. Zayn gets the soulful-ish, croony moments that Justin Timberlake got to sing for âN Sync and he handles them nicelyâ (Observer.com)
âThe album doesnât take any particular vocal risks, with the exception of Zayn Malik, who experiences a few breakout momentsâ (Teenink.com)
âYou can tell that Zayn Malik is straining to put his best vocals forward for this song. And like P!nk, Adam Lambert, and Kelly Clarkson herself have demonstrated, verging ever-so-close to the edge of your vocal power produces incredible results. Malikâs voice is perfectly toned for a song backed by dance musicâ (Huffingtonpost)
âLikewise, the album features Zayn Malikâs sultry solos and long winded notes in songs like âChange My Mindâ that can land a fangirl in cardiac arrest and leave a casual listener thoroughly impressedâ (Newuniversity.org)
âZayn Malik has got the most searched-for male celebrity style online.The One Direction heartthrob, envied for his impressive quiff and snazzy dress sense, has knocked his fellow band mate Harry Styles off the top spotâ (tv3)
âZayn is the sharpest edge of one direction. Heâs the one you know will be investigating high fashion when the boy band turns to man. already you can see the experimentation with grooming, the mega hair, the interest in fit, cut and movement. He likes the limelight, it likes him and heâs always dressed for it. Thereâs no more sleek and deadly combination in a young pop turnâ (Luke Day,GQ fashion director)
âYes, they put one of the band members in drag, and it wasnât weirdly sexist or homophobic. In fact, he plays it straight. Zayn Malik, in the role of âVeronicaâ, is just as beautiful as a woman as he is as a manâ (dailydot.com)
âZayn soon presented himself as the great voice behind the band, standing up considerably on the live stageâ (The Advertiser)
âTrack 7 (Tell Me A Lie): There are only two words I can say to describe what made this song so fantastic; Zayn Malik. His solos, and some minor from Harry Styles, completely carry a song that couldâve been not so great to brilliantâ (thesouthernnews.org)
âMr. Malik, who is of Pakistani descent on his fatherâs side, is the groupâs only nonwhite member, and also the most flamboyant singer. Onstage he was also the most serious, a stoic amid imps â wearing his clothes a little more loosely and walking with more of a strut than his peppy bandmatesâ (The New York Times)
â⌠Whatâs more interesting is everything Spurlock edited out⌠he doesnât dare broach the idea that half-Pakistani heartthrob Zayn Malik deserves to take a second bow for being the worldâs first Tiger Beat Muslim. (And a third bow for patiently enduring accusations that heâs a terrorist.) His story would make a fascinating documentary. Only this time, let Werner Herzog direct itâ (LA Weekly)
âOf the five, Harry Styles stands out for his Jaggeresque squints, as does Zayn Malik, whose features are so doe like and fine he could double for a young Audrey Hepburnâ (NY daily news)
âItâs hard not to notice that Zayn Malik seems to handle nearly all the most demanding vocal parts in concert, while also getting the least amount of face time amid the backstage hijinks. A retiring, heavily tattooed practicing Muslim who pursues graffiti art in his spare time, Malik gradually emerges as the most intriguing subject of the five, as well as the most underserved by the filmâs function as a purely promotional productâ (Variety.com)
âI think Zayn is an incredibly good actor for a start and heâs got an amazing sense of humor and is one of the most lovely people youâll ever meet, and I think people have the perception that heâs this sort of dark, moody characterâ (Ben Winston mtv.com)
âCowell has made a very smart move in moving the boys onto the big screen as soon as he has. Who knows how long the One Direction phenomenon will last, before Zayn does a Robbieâ (itv)
âPeople know that Zayn is a wonderful singer and that the guy is incredibly talentedâbut heâs a really great artist as well. Heâs fantastically artistic. Heâs got a graffiti studio in his house and thatâs just how he unwinds. He has friends over and he listens to music and he paints and he hangs out. For him, thereâs nothing more important than being home and being surrounded by people that he loves. Thereâs something really wonderful about thatâ (Morgan Spurlock, Teen Vogue))
âZayn Malik appeared to be either the âshyâ or possibly just âno-nonsenseâ member of the group, an attitude that caused him to mostly be forgotten on stage until his many vocal solos. But he surely saved up all his mojo for those moments: Malik has easily set himself apart by showing the most vocal talent. His solos ranged from soft falsettos to belting ending rifts that could compare to the R&B voices of Usher or Miguelâ (utsandiego.com)
ââŚthe most powerful vocals came from Zayn And Harry, particularly evident during I wouldâ (The Sunday Times)
â⌠they sailed through each song sans-miming with a particularly impressive performance from Liam Payne and some stunning falsetto work, care of Zayn Malikâ (The Sydney Morning Herald)
âZayn Malik is probably the quietest of the bunch when it comes to chatting to the audience â not that heâs quiet, just that they others talk a lot. However, he without a doubt has the best singing voice of the bunch. His vocal skills are on another level. Zayn can sing. And heâs just so cool. His tattoos are cool. His style is cool. You always want to look at Zayn to see what heâs doing. But that voice. Unbelievable.â (The Hot Hits)
