Zendaya Previews New Music With Timabland And ‘It’s Lit’

It’s been nearly two years since Zendaya released her hit, “Replay,” and I’ve been patiently waiting for her to drop some new music ever since.

Well, it seems it’s on its way, since the Disney star posted a 15-second snippet of a brand-new track to her Instagram.

“Z x Timb This second album…it’s lit,” Zendaya captioned the picture, tagging producer Timabland, who she worked with on the track.

Even though it’s just a few short seconds, this song sounds like it has some serious potential, as Zendaya seductively sings “Put you on that high definition love” over a mid-tempo beat.

“I would say it’s the new wave of R&B,” Zendaya recently told us about the direction her music is headed in. “It’s where I think it should be going, or it should be headed; it’s very old-school vibe, but it’s a new age version.”

And helping her bring her vision to life are not only Timbaland, but Diane Warren and Babyface.

So exciting to work with young artists like @Zendaya who want to make REAL music!!

“It’s awesome — it’s really really cool — especially when you have people that believe in your vision and believe in what you want to do, that’s the coolest part,” she said. “Because then you don’t get worried, you start doubting yourself less. You’re like, ’You know what? I’m doing the right thing.\'”

With no release date in sight — “I have no rush, no time limit, I’m chilling” — Zendaya is taking this time to craft a second album that’s not only more mature sonically, but lyrically as well.

“My first album I was only 15, 16, so I was talking about stuff, but I didn’t really experience it,” she said. “Even though it’s only been a couple of years, you experience a lot — especially being a young adult, being 18, I have a little more behind what I’m saying.”
