Zayn Malik's departure from One Direction was one of the most talked about pop bombshells this year. Now Malik, in an interview with Fader magazine, said the reason he left was because he didn't like the sound they were making. The former band member said "I wasn't 100 percent behind the music. It wasn't me. It was music that was already given to us, and we were told this is what is going to sell to these people. As much as we were the biggest, most famous boy band in the world, it felt weird. We were told to be happy about something that we weren't happy about."
In an accompanying video with the cover story, Malik previews new song "Befour," with the track suggesting a hazy, Weeknd-influenced R&B sound.
