The Zayn album, for those in a hurry

  • December 16, 2018
  • Popjustice

It's a fine line between 'album' and 'acci­dent­ally uploaded ZIP file' but ZAYN's Icarus Falls is 27 tracks long and however much we may all like to embrace the NORULES!!! mood of the music so-called 'biz' in 2018 it's a simple pop fact that 27 tracks is far too long for an album.

Which is a shame, because there's a super-strong album floating around somewhere in these 27 tracks. And with this in mind, here's a Popjustice Edit of Icarus Falls. 

Pretty good right? Right.
