»»The Weeknd announced on Friday that he’s returned his 2014 track “King of the Fall” to streaming services after the song’s spotty availability over the past few years. The standalone single — which was accompanied by a full production video — was used as the title track to an autumn 2014 tour, but never ended up on 2015’s Beauty Behind the Madness album, which featured the singles “The Hills” and “Can’t Feel My Face.” “Finally decided to put king of the fall on all platforms,” the singer announced on Twitter after he surprised fans by sending the mid- tempo burner to streaming services. The Weeknd has been on an epic tear this year with his smash “Blinding Lights,” which broke the Billboard Hot 100 record by staying in the top five on the chart for 28 weeks, as well as setting a new high point on the all-format Radio Songs airplay chart, with 19 weeks at No. 1.

»»Zayn is a man at wits’ end on the lovestruck soul ballad “Better.” The slinky R&B ballad from the new dad dropped on Friday morning and it finds the former boy bander contemplating a love he can’t shake, but might just have to. The song’s chorus makes the heartbreak crystal clear: “Why? Why wait to fight?/ Give it a try/ Or I’ll say goodbye while it’s right/ Can we save tears in your eyes?/ I’m making you cry/ Why wait to hate, can we save love?” The song, co-written by Zayn, is slated for this upcoming third album, which is described in a release as his “most personal project to date. With total creative reign on his third album, Zayn is making the music he has always wanted to.” The accompanying video directed by Ryan Hope finds him waking up alone in in an empty house while some unknown figures surveil him from afar. Malik’s sophomore solo album Icarus Falls album dropped in Dec. 2018 and he’s dropped a string of guest last year on songs by Shaed (“Trampoline”), Sabrina Claudio (“Rumors”), R3hab (“Flames”” and Zhavia Ward (“A Whole New World”). Zayn welcomed his first child, a girl, with girlfriend supermodel Gigi Hadid on Wednesday. “Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she’s already changed our world. So in love,” Hadid captioned a black-and-white photo of the baby holding Zayn’s thumb. Listen Up and Enjoy! “FOREIGN SONGS…
