Zayn’s all OVER Gigi in his video, after claiming they’re just ‘friends’

Zayn Malik is finally casting off the shackles of One Direction with his first solo single, Pillowtalk.

The song and video dropped in the early hours of this morning, and we have to admit we're liking his work so far.

Pillowtalk is just slightly NSFW, featuring Zayn, Gigi Hadid… and a few lotus-flower vaginas. A few things we noticed:

Zayn and Gigi are most DEFINITELY on
Despite claiming in an interview with Zane Lowe yesterday that he and Ms Hadid are just 'friends,' Zayn can't keep his hands off her in this video.

 

It's a huge change from One Direction's videos
Lots of abstract colour, lotus flowers and paint pouring down people's faces. It's no Steal My Girl.

 

​Zayn's still an awkward 23-year-old at the end of it all
Any shots of him on his own, staring moodily in the camera, automatically made us cringe. Sorry, Zayn.
