17 Apr
Summary
- Zayn's fifth album, 'Konnakol,' references vocal percussion in South Indian music.
- The artist is embarking on his largest solo tour to date, commencing May 12.
- The tour includes stops in major global cities like London and Mexico City.
Zayn has unveiled his fifth studio album, titled 'Konnakol.' This collection features previously released tracks like 'Sideways' and the lead single 'Die For Me.' The album's name is derived from the South Indian Carnatic music practice of performing percussion syllables vocally.
Zayn explained that 'Konnakol' represents the act of creating percussive sounds with the voice, holding a significance that predates verbal language for him. He emphasized that his heritage has always been a source of inspiration, and this album signifies a deeper understanding of his identity and future path.
In conjunction with the album's release, Zayn is set to embark on his most extensive solo tour to date. The KONNAKOL Tour, produced by Live Nation, is scheduled to kick off on May 12 with a performance at Manchester's AO Arena. The tour will encompass major international cities, including London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and São Paulo.
The global tour is slated to conclude on November 20 with a concert at Miami's Kaseya Center. This marks Zayn's first-ever solo arena tour, following a successful Las Vegas residency earlier this year where he previewed material from 'Konnakol.'
