Zayn Malik on leaving 1D: 'I want to hear myself alone for once'

Zayn Malik says one of the main reasons behind going solo is to realise his own voice.

The singer left One Direction in spring last year, with the group continuing as a four-piece.

The Brit has since signed with RCA and is due to release a solo album in 2016.

Speaking in the January issue of L’Uomo Vogue, Malik said that he felt the need to make music on his own terms after spending the last four years with bandmates.

He said: "I just want this album to be about me and me standing on my own two feet.

"I’ve sung with four other voices for over four years now so I want to hear myself, alone for once."

In the same interview, Malik said that he detached himself from One Direction ahead of leaving the group.

Billboard recently reported in their own Malik interview that the singer's debut album is set to be called 'BeFour'.
