“It’s that time again, I have been lucky enough to make a fifth studio album,” the musician shared on social media, launching the countdown for Konnakol, set for release on April 17. It is a sound that holds the reverberation of a time before words existed,” Zayn said in a statement. Now, the 33-year-old is returning to the R&B-inflected pop that appeared on his debut album Mind of Mine, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in March. Like Mind of Mine, which features an interlude performed in Urdu, Konnakol will spotlight Zayn’s cultural background. Zayn also opened the set with an unreleased song fans have referred to as “Nusrat,” an Arabic name meaning victory.
