I feel as though Zayn really isn't like other artists in terms of he creates music not to make sure he will top charts. he has a different definition of success in what he wants to achieve, he doesn't want to be in the category of a 'celebrity' he creates music he likes if you like, like it if you don't he don't care, because he's happy making that music. he doesn't do promo or go to those interviews because it's not who he is. honestly, I find him very interesting if anyone wants to know a glimpse of who zayn is read his magazine interviews
Icarus Falls is a really great album but like you said it's not an album made for the charts or the radio. But that's what makes me love it more, because it's just about music. And he did an album and music and sound that he likes that's fair enough. The only thing I regret is that his vocal is not well known enough.
*This album seriously needed to be considered for a Grammy nomination. Had it not been for his social anxiety, I’m more than sure A LOT more people would be paying very close attention to his music*
The thing is that Zayn produced this whole album on his own. Yes there is no involvement of his label in it. He produced this with his own money. And that is why his label sucks.
Zayn is undoubtedly one of the best vocalists of this generation. And the way he goes about making music is so interesting. You can definitely tell he's in it JUST for the music and none of the fame. Every other pop boy is lucky he doesn't do promo or tour bc he would literally out shine them all, they are not TOUCHING him in the talent department
Zayn's such an interesting artist. You're never quite sure what you're going to get from him. I will say though, that I prefer the second half of this album to the first, so while I enjoyed your reaction to this, I look forward to your reaction to the second half of it even more.
Finally, someone who appreciates this album. Love the way you noticed every single detail that I expected you to notice. Like every single of them. And, the thing you said about why these songs are not made for the radio, and you like it, I totally agree with you on that.
That's what I like about harry and zayn they make such unique music not generic music that's going on in this generation, they do not care about the radio hits Or anything their songs are loved by their fans a lot, they are being true to themselves
Thank you for reacting to this, Icarus Falls is such a special album, it's so unique and not at all driven by radio/pop standards, which is really refreshing. It's music for the music and it's an amazing album to just listen to while chilling. It's honestly so far from what i usually listen to, but everytime i put it on to listen to one particular song, i end up listening to the whole thing without even realising it.
When these two voices collide it will be magical. Zayn's and Taehyung's voice have this smooth, soulful, velvety magic to it. I'll keep praying for that collab. Wonderful surprise to hear Singularity here 12:58
Btw if you intend to react to Mind of Mine there are 2 SONGS missing on the Spotify version! “Golden” and “Do something good”! Other songs by Zayn you could react to are “I won’t mind” and “Dusk till Dawn ft. SIA”, but tbh all his collabs are amazing, he did one with M.I.A., SHAED, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Zhavia Ward, R3HAB, Snakehips and Taylor Swift and none of them are on his albums 😅 PS i cannot wait for part 2! Very exited 💛
The background vocals on Natural is actually one of the producers, the Hannides brothers(MYKL). They also produced Let Me and are one of the main producers on this album.
Y’all, on a serious note, what should we call our fandom? I like “responders” and him being the “caller” and stuff like that, cause call and response is ICONIC. Y’all LEMME KNOWWW
Jessica Demers ummm .... Brendon Urie, Adam Lambert, Freddie Mercury IMO are better than Zayn - vocally I mean. That’s not to say Zayn isn’t good - he is but vocally those 3 are better 🤷🏼♀️ (just my opinion)
VAIBHAV RAJ SINGH 3 of this generations best vocalists. Brendon is the lead singer of Panic at the disco (and only remaining member), Adam was runner up in American Idol and now sings with the iconic band Queen (he’s also a brilliant solo artist) and if you don’t know who Freddie Mercury is ... you’ve been living under a rock. He was the iconic singer of Queen #icon
zayn & 1D fan sorry but I just can’t like his voice (he’s ok to listen to occasionally but I just can’t get into him). For me Harry is more pleasant to listen to. We’ll have to agree to disagree 🤷🏼♀️ I’m not saying he sucks ... he doesn’t - I just can’t like all of his music. Some of his duets have been good but his whole albums - nope
bruv plz react to Mind of Mine including its Deluxe and Target edition.....and also react to the Icarus Falls deluxe edition (Dusk till Dawn and Still got Time) btw your reaction was lit
Zayn’s music is not only to be listened to but also read and understood. Zayn creates high quality music, his music is thick music; you have good tastes and high musical standards. Icarus Falls is (for me) the most beautiful album and it’s a shame that people label him as an evil person when, in fact, he’s a wonderful man capable of creating wonders. The world doesn’t deserve Zayn, Zayn deserve the world 🌍
I was actually suppose to sleep but when I saw reacting to icarus falls I had to get in! An hour later, I finished this video. Ahh STAN ZAYN, peroidttt
Ok this is maybe my 4th time watching this reaction video ! I love how you not only apriciating his vocal but also apriciating his music 😭 i wish I could watch the 2nd part 😭
blake could you please react to zayn's debut album - mind of mine?? while i absolutely love this album, i feel like icarus falls is more so lyric driven than anything else because it's a conceptual album that follows a story parallel to that of icarus. zayn relates falling after flying too close to the sun to the gradual feeling of falling in love with someone hard (the highs) only to have a rude awakening and suffer consequential heartbreak (the lows) - that's literally the theme of the entire project with icarus interlude signaling the switch up. on the other hand, mind of mine seems so much more production (and even vocal) driven to me and the songs he worked on with malay for that album are some of his best work. and while he still went for a really mellow sound, there's still some upbeat moments (bright, like i would, etc.) and i think you would really enjoy it!!
I think i was living under a rock. I knew he had music out but because it isn't played alot on the radio, it never occurred to me to find it. I didn't even know he wrote and sang Pillowtalk. So I looked him up in Aug 2023 on YT and Spotify and I AM SO GLAD I DID! I AM OBSESSED WITH ZAYN! His music plays all day long at home and work. He is so talented and his vocals are just incredible! Love you Zayn and I AM LISTENING! 💚💛
Same here. I'm discovering Zayn in 2024...and MY GOD, where was I, this guy is soooo deep with lyrics and that VOICE.....oh my GOD. Phhhh and can't stop listening to him.
i've literally been binge watching your videos and told myself i wish ud react to 'icarus falls' and here we are, ilyyyyyyy im obsessed w ur videos 🥺❤️
Part 2 was blocked on UA-cam, so it's up on the Patreon! here's the link www.patreon.com/BlakeMcLain
can we watch it somewhere else
Is there any way we can see it on UA-cam or anywhere else?
How can we play the 2nd part of reaction ......??
sorry bud I’m broke 😅
Bro come on u don't have to do that to us we don't need to pay to watch it like come on bro use some humanity left

I love thiss
Or just read his book!!!!
Totally agree with you, he is very unique in his own way
Completly agree with you

The music Zayn creates is out of this world. Those who stan Z have really advanced taste
Yesssss
Thx
@Habzz yeah me too...from the Philippines???
Z music every day til the day I die!
Yess❤️
finally zayn gonna see some more respect that he deserves!!

He's already getting most reckoning of the boys tho

People would hav loved this album had it been promoted well, it would hav charted as well
"Icarus Falls" is so underrated, it makes me cry
2Billion Streams later!!
Yes but Zayn Doesn't care so I even I think what zayn
Hey i know you on twitter 😲
@@gareth1144 Yes, I am @ZaynForHero
@@justineturner3185 one song had around 1.3 billion views so yea most of his other songs are very under rated

Sorry the color/lighting is weird. Part 2 coming next week!

I just wanted to say that If you're gonna react to Mind of mine u should know that golden isn't available on spotify
yes cant wait 💗💗
(1 minute to premiere)
my mind: *"I like his shirt"*
Ur heart

Lol
I know he said he wasn’t doing the lyrics but good years hits different when you know what it’s about🥺
Omg yes 😓

*This album seriously needed to be considered for a Grammy nomination. Had it not been for his social anxiety, I’m more than sure A LOT more people would be paying very close attention to his music*

This is so true
Right
When blake said " it sounds like louis in the back" I wanted to cry
Same sis same!
Same here 😭
Time stamp?

I knew as soon as he said "is that Louis in the back?" the live chat would go crazyyy xD
he said "oi" and oh boy xD
Hhhhh so true
Me2
Yup me too... here we go.
Are they still bros?
This man is so cute and adorable I cAN'T
The thing is that Zayn produced this whole album on his own. Yes there is no involvement of his label in it. He produced this with his own money. And that is why his label sucks.
He receives amount of money for the album before he starts recording he would have get the money in 2017 for next album but still his label sucks
WHAT?!
they didn't want to do it because he released mind of mine a year before
Yes his label sucks ..... I hope he gets a new label
Icarus Falls is the best album ever made. I feel bad for the people who haven't heard it
Facts
Truly said! I feel bad for people who didn't understand its beauty.
No one:
Literally no one:
Blake: I know what this reminds me of, I know exactly what this reminds me of
Finally, Zayn's album is getting recognition
Loved it how Blake is fangirling Zayn❤

“I’m happy I have my tea” 😂 this dude is too funny
Once you start listening to zayn there’s literally no stopping , I started listening to zayn late December 2020 and he’s been my #1 artist ever since
Zayn is amazing! I’m excited for this!!!

I👏🏼 WANT👏🏼 THAT👏🏼 CALL👏🏼 AND👏🏼 RESPONSE👏🏼 TEE👏🏼
RIGHTTTTTT
SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN !!!!!!
Mind of mine-Zayn
And actually you should read the lyrics if you have time it's worth it, they are pretty deep and real. And again thanks for the video :)
that's what I love ab zayn (recently) he actually has lyrics, BRO ARTISTS THESE DAYS CAN SAY BOQLANOWE AND BOOM THAT'S A SONG
Queen
Singularity is by V, I'm his fan and I also love zayn, hope these two talented artists get to collab someday! Thank you!
@bordo j around 12:30 I think
When these two voices collide it will be magical. Zayn's and Taehyung's voice have this smooth, soulful, velvety magic to it. I'll keep praying for that collab. Wonderful surprise to hear Singularity here 12:58
In my opinion the best album between the 5 guys
Either this one or fine line definitely
@@sarah-gb2jd nah mind of mine
For me zayn and harry stand out the most
I wish the world realises this.
Walls is an absolutely masterpiece as Icarus Falls
Btw if you intend to react to Mind of Mine there are 2 SONGS missing on the Spotify version! “Golden” and “Do something good”!

PS i cannot wait for part 2! Very exited 💛
Also “You can’t hide / You can’t hide from yourself” from the TV show “The Get Down. Not many people know about it and it’s an amazing colab as well.
Also "back to sleep" with chris brown and usher.
But obviously you can't react to that easily because there is too much to react in that song😂.
YESSSSS ZAYN ZADDY KING love him and love you for reacting to him.
Please do a reaction to Zayn's first album 'mind of mine'
I literally screamed when i saw it
So ready for this video, common is a bop
I listened to it 20 times in a loop the first time i found it.
"I'll find a way to say it" blake on one of his favorite things to say. 😅
this album and Zayn's voice is a masterpiece
Zayn the best vocals of this generation
zayn goes craaaaazy im excited
please react to 14 times zayn malik’s vocals had me SHOOK
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! zayns music is so underrated it’s amazing
I sincerely subscribed to your channel because of this. We need more people to acknowledge Zayn for his impressive talent.
I Stan Blake McLain so hard 🥰
You got to study his lyrics, it's poetry.

You should react to mind of mine as well (Zayn's first album). Love your stuff tho been watching for ages :)
The background vocals on Natural is actually one of the producers, the Hannides brothers(MYKL). They also produced Let Me and are one of the main producers on this album.
Thanks for sharing this. So it's not Louis then.
This is an underrated album! 27 amazing songs, and not much recognition👏🏼
FINALLLLYYYY!!! The way I screamed when I saw this pop up lmao
Y’all, on a serious note, what should we call our fandom? I like “responders” and him being the “caller” and stuff like that, cause call and response is ICONIC. Y’all LEMME KNOWWW
I love it.
Agree!
O agree
Or dirty bass XD
This is such a good idea !!!
Wow 👀 I really appreciate that you took your time to actually react to this it's literally 27 songs 👏🏽👏🏽

*searches on Google* Who is better than Zayn? Google: No results
