The R&B artist and Dazed cover star has teamed up with Snakeships for their latest single. The British electronic electronic duo have been hard at work finishing off their debut full-length, which – amongst collaborations with Tinashe and Chance the Rapper – also features “Cruel”, a new song featuring Malik. It’s a moody and atmospheric track, but it’s also got a loose dance groove. Revisit Dazed’s cover story with Zayn, and find out how to win the customised Marc Jacobs jacket worn by the musician in the photo shoot. Listen to “Cruel” below. Escape the algorithm!
