The Pakistani performer Zayn Malik teams up with ‘Gentleman’s Quarterly’ for a fresh shoot and promotional spread this month.

Why? To light the way for his forthcoming studio album and support its predecessor ‘Mind of Mine.’

Despite peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200, the set has been unable to live up to the commercial expectations placed on it by industry observers who’d hoped he’d inherit One Direction‘s unit-moving fanbase.

So, there’s no doubt that the pressure is on Malik to fare much better with his aforementioned sophomore set.
