There’s nothing more thrilling than an artist with a team that continues to make sure that their musical journey is the best it can be. That being said, Zayn finds himself coming hard and not taking any prisoners when it comes to his debut album, Mind of Mine, which is due out in exactly a month on March 25th. Launching off the era with his single, ‘PILLOWTALK,’ due to the strength of his fan-base and critical timing, the record reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 upon debut. Currently still sitting in the Top 10, the record finds itself with another boost as Zayn has dropped off a ‘PILLOWTALK’ remix with one of Hip-Hop’s finest, Lil Wayne.
Not being a new trick among Pop acts, rappers being enlisted is surely a tactic used to increase the Urban appeal for tunes. While not being effective for all records, Zayn & Lil Wayne come together to hit a home-run. Packing an extra punch via the production, but still remaining true to the original record’s sound, Lil Wayne floats all throughout the tune that also features a new verse from Zayn who tries his hand at rapping. If the point wasn’t clear on the song’s original version, it’s more than evident now. In what may appear as a risky move to some, the singer delivered where it mattered.
