Zayn will deliver their fourth studio album this spring.

Room Under The Stairs is slated for a May 17 release on Mercury Records. The artist spent the past six years working on the album at their home studio in PA. The release was co-produced by Zayn and nine-time Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb.

The first single from the record titled “What I Am,” which was released today, is available on streaming services. Zayn said this about working on the new album:

“This is my favorite album that I've made to date, mainly because it comes from a place of sheer honesty and vulnerability. I wanted each song to feel as if it was just me sitting beside you telling you how I feel, singing directly to you. It’s raw and stripped back and the type of music I always hoped to make.
Working with Dave Cobb has been an amazing experience. The way he’s elevated the music is second to none, and he has done an incredible job helping me create this record. I hope we can take listeners on some whimsical, magical journey, and that they enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.
I think just being where I was at that time, staying away from things and living with my own thoughts inspired me to want to write something from that place. I’ve got to put this out as a whole body of work, it’s something for myself, not even just for the world.”
