PDN and Zayn blog
After my blog about Drake, just yesterday, I thought it was time to talk about the first artist that got signed to his label: PARTYNEXTDOOR, PND in short. He’s currently trending on the global charts with two tracks. One’s called “Run Up” and is, very recognizably, a Major Lazer produced track, which also features Nicki Minaj. The other is called “Still Got Time”, which features Zayn.
PARTYNEXTDOOR has been keen on collaborating, and has done so with various artists, since his debut in 2013. It’s led to him releasing EPs and album at a steady pace and got him writing for others.
As I just said, “Run Up” sounds like any other Major Lazer track, so if you like his sound, you’ll like this song too. So, I’ll just zoom in on “Still Got Time” with Zayn. The best way I can describe that song is that it sounds like Drake meets Craig David. I seriously think the first few notes that are sung, sound like the beginning of a Drake song before turning into that typical intonation of lyrics that I always link to Craig David.
