Wearing a black suit, Malik’s appearance in the shot was suspected by some to be teasing a music video for a second album.

The name and release date for the follow-up to 2016’s Mind Of Mine is yet to be revealed, although two singles – Dusk Till Dawn with Sia and Still Got Time with rapper PartyNextDoor – have already been released.
