Los Angeles, March 19 (IANS): Singer Zayn Malik has teased his fans with a sneak peak of his new song on social media.

The "Pillowtalk" hitmaker took to Instagram and shared a video where he is seen puffing a cigarette while strumming a guitar and singing soaring high notes, reports aceshowbiz.com.

In the video, shot in a sepia style filter, Zayn wore a headband to keep his hair pulled back away from his face as he sat on a stool in a black-and-white shirt. It's unknown if he is just freestyling or trying out the chords to a new song.

A fan claimed singer Taylor Swift "taught" Malik how to play guitar.

A second fan wrote: "God ZAMMIT. His vocals are much better than his guitar skills though." Another one added: "Zaddy love you. Is this a teaser 4 ur new album??"

Zayn recently teamed up with Swift for "Fifty Shades Darker" soundtrack, "I don't wanna live forever". It has been a year since the former One Direction singer released his debut solo album "Mind of Mine".
