Zayn Malik has confirmed that work is well underway on his next record.

The singer only released his debut album 'Mind of Mine' in March.

Speaking in the new issue of Dazed, the Brit refused to confirm or deny rumours that his next record will be released his year.

He said: "I’m just trying to do more and more.

"I’m excited to get more involved in every way that I can. Whether it’s producing or the creative for my stage direction, I just want to get down to every detail. That’s my progression, learning my craft as a solo artist.

"I’m kind of itching a little bit. I want to work. I’ve learned over four or five years that it’s good to work because you’re earning, not spending.”

Malik's debut album reached No.1 across the globe, including in the UK and the US.
