# 1 Zayn Malik, 'Mind of Mine'

Release Date: March 25

Why We're Excited: When Zayn Malik left One Direction on March 25, 2015, we weren't sure we'd ever recover. The guy was partially the heart and soul of the world's big boy band, reaching notes the other four could never. He left for his own sanity, though, and it's something we had to come to terms with. His solo endeavor is nothing like his teen pop past, and we're finally ready for it. Listen to "PillowTalk" and see what we mean. —Maria Sherman
