Zayn Malik is once again praising Raye and fans are already manifesting a future collaboration.
The former One Direction star appeared on the Track Star Show where he was being quizzed about his music knowledge. At one point he guessed that the song playing in the headphones is Worth It by Raye.
Upon asking about what he would think about her, the Dusk Til Dawn hitmaker recalled “I went to see her in London.”
“She was performing at the O2. She had like a whole like orchestra with her, and it was really cool,” he gushed over the show when Raye performed her My 21st Century Symphony with The Heritage Orchestra and the Flames Collective at London’s O2 Arena on Friday, March 15, 2024.
Talking about her musical talent, the die for me singer added, “She is like an old school, from a different time.”
“She’s got a lot of that Amy Winehouse kind of like soul tree, soul vibe going on too, yeah,” he added.
Shortly after the comments section of the post was flooded with fans demanding and hoping for a collaboration among the two artists.
One fan wrote, “a Zayn x Raye collab could heal me.”
Another commented, “Manifesting,” following which a third wrote, “need a zayn x raye collab asap.”
“I need Zayn and Raye in the studio NOW,” a fourth demanded.
This is not the first time Zayn has praised Raye.
Previously, during an appearance at BBC Radio 1 in November in the wake of his Eyes Closed collab with Black Jisoo, he raved over Raye saying, “She’s an amazing vocalist, somebody who I feel is really like holding the torch for like modern day R&B music in this era.”
“I’m always inspired when I hear her lyrics and her music,” the Night Changes vocalist added. “I feel like she’s an amazing artist.”
His glowing remarks for the Worth It songstress sent fans into a frenzy at that time as well, demanding a collab soon. However no news of their wish becoming reality is being reported yet.
