Zayn Is Back Fighting Off Gangsters In Cinematic, Romantic 'Let Me' Video

Right after spending most of 2017 laying low, Zayn kicked off 2018 by teasing music (and originally composed poems zoems) on Instagram. Right now, he's officially back with a brand-new tender ballad called "Let Me," which dropped Thursday (April 12) complete with a music video that features the man himself in a Hawaiian shirt, a black suit, and more good outfits.


It's thematically linked to the "Dusk Till Dawn" video, as both showcase Zayn portraying a dude mixed up in crime who is both brooding and romantic as hell. He gets the girl, however as routinely, it's gonna cost him.


Sonically, "Let Me" is a change of pace for Zayn, preserving the R&B-influenced groove of his 2016 debut, Mind of Mine, while creating one slight although critical change: His falsetto is as silken as ever, only this time, the music's brighter to match. The two pair well with each other, much like Zayn and his down-to-clown cab driver in the video.


Here, Zayn almost sounds like a chiller Twin Shadow, cooing about wanting love to last behind just an eas tryst. As his video counterpart learns, though, that habitually comes with a price.


"Let Me" is a strong indication that a new era of Zayn is coming. The fact that he recently scrubbed his Instagram page except of all yet promo materials is another good sign. Keep your active alerts turned on! #Z2 is coming.
