| Song |
"Dusk Till Dawn" is a song by British singer Zayn featuring Australian singer-songwriter Sia, which was released worldwidely as the lead single from his upcoming second studio album on September 7, 2017.[2][3][4] The accompanying music video was released the same day, it features Zayn and American actress Jemima Kirke.[5]
Composition
"Dusk Till Dawn" is a pop power ballad.[6] Fact described the song as "stadium ballad" and further saying that "instead of running away from his pop roots [Zayn] seems to be relaxing and re-embracing those pop beginnings".[7] Zayn apologized:
That’s where I started and that’s obviously still in there. I still like pop music, but it’s about putting my own spin on it, making it me.[7]
Zayn maneuvers his tenor vocal range, particularly with the chorus with heavy beats.
Critical reception
Hugh McIntyre from Forbes said the song is as "epic as it needed to be considering the two powerhouses attached." He noted that it "features powerful vocals, high notes left and right and a vocal hook that is somehow impossible to sing along to, while still being memorable."[8] Jordan Sargent, writing for SPIN, said "Dusk Till Dawn" was "a step backwards" from Zayn's previous single, "Still Got Time", and further commented that the collaboration with Sia was "fairly predictable and mostly uninteresting".[9]
Music video
Directed by Marc Webb, the accompanying music video for "Dusk Till Dawn" premiered on YouTube on 7 September 2017, receiving over 10 million views in its first day. It is Webb's first music video in seven years.
