ZAYN Signs With Mercury Records Ahead of New Music

ZAYN Signs With Mercury Records Ahead of New Music

ZAYN has signed a new record deal with Mercury Records, Billboard can confirm. Along with the news, the singer wiped his social media yesterday and has launched a new pre-save link and teaser in preparation for his Mercury Records debut single, which is said by the label to be arriving “very soon this summer.”

A former member of One Direction and a chart-topper in his own right, ZAYN was previously signed to RCA Records. Sources close to the singer told Billboard that the new music ZAYN is making marks a major departure from the sound that defined his previous hits like “Pillowtalk” and “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.”

Label president Tyler Arnold says of the deal, “As soon as ZAYN and I met, I knew we had to work together. I was blown away by the new music, but just as impressed by his vision, drive and spirit. We’re honored he and his team have joined us at Mercury Records. We’ve got an incredible opportunity to tell the next chapter of his story together.”

Mercury Records relaunched in April 2022 as a U.S. imprint of Republic Records, helmed by Arnold and GM Ben Adelson. Mercury’s roster includes Post Malone, whom Arnold signed to Republic in 2015, and James Bay, signed by Adelson in 2014. Other signees at Mercury’s launch included Stephen Sanchez, Chelsea Cutler, Jeremy Zucker, Lord Huron, Noah Kahan, BoyWithUke, Ka$hdami, Lyn Lapid and Camylio.

Mercury Records also acts as the hub for Republic’s partnerships with Big Loud Records, home to Morgan Wallen, and Imperial Music, the independent distributor that released Bo Burnham‘s Inside (The Songs).

As a solo artist, ZAYN has released three records: Mind of Mine (2016), Icarus Falls (2018) and Nobody Is Listening (2021). They peaked at No. 1, No. 61 and No. 44 on the Billboard 200, respectively. He has also placed six songs in the top 50 on the Pop Airplay chart, including two in the top 10. “Pillowtalk” peaked at No. 1, and “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” reached No. 2. Those two songs also reached those same positions on the Billboard Hot 100.

Notepad++ says it was hijacked by Chinese state-sponsored hackers

Notepad++ says it was hijacked by Chinese state-sponsored hackers

Last year, the creator of Notepad++ rolled out an update for the text and source code editor after security experts reported that bad actors were hijacking its update mechanism to redirect traffic to malicious servers. It led to users downloading compromised executables that could infect their devices. Now, Don Ho has revealed that multiple security experts investigated the breach and determined that the threat actor �is likely a Chinese state-sponsored group.� He said it explained why experts observed highly selective targeting during the campaign and why only traffic from certain users were redirected so that they would download malicious files. It�s not clear what kind of users were specifically targeted and what the files did to their devices.

The attackers started redirecting traffic from Notepad++ to their servers sometime in June 2025, and that went on until December 2. Their method involved compromising the system at the hosting provider level, though the exact technical mechanism that allowed them to intercept traffic remains under investigation. In addition to releasing a security patch, Notepad++ also migrated to a new hosting provider with much stronger security practices. Ho now encourages anyone who wants to install the app to download version 8.9.1, which comes with the security update, and running the installer manually.

The Switch 2's Virtual Boy is a tribute to Nintendo's wackiest console

The Switch 2's Virtual Boy is a tribute to Nintendo's wackiest console

Even in 2026, VR still feels like tech that isn't quite ready for prime time. When Nintendo released the original Virtual Boy way back in 1995, it was hard for my 10-year-old brain to comprehend a 3D console with a bipod, a facemask and a monochrome red display. Then, when you factor in weak sales that led to the system being discontinued after only a year, you end up with a gadget that felt more like a mythical creature than something you could actually buy. But that's changing later this month when the Virtual Boy returns as an add-on for the Switch 2. After getting an early demo of Nintendo's new accessory, I can confirm that this thing feels just as weird and quirky as it did when it first came out more than 30 years ago. 

The biggest difference on the new model is that it uses the Switch 2's screen as its main display and processor.
Sam Rutherford for Engadget

The most impressive thing about the revamped Virtual Boy is how much it looks and feels like the original. It still features that classic red and black color scheme along with a stand for propping it up. The biggest difference is that instead of having a built-in display, there's a slot where you can slide in a Switch 2 (with its Joy-Con detached). This brings several advantages: Since the Switch 2 has its own battery, there's no need for cords anymore. It also means you don't have to worry about swapping in individual game carts, as software can be downloaded directly from Nintendo's online store. Graphics also look much sharper than I remember, though I admit that could just be me getting old. Finally, instead of reviving the Virtual Boy's archaic gamepad, Nintendo smartly opted to let us use the Switch 2's current lineup of controllers. The end result is a design that's faithful to the original but doesn't suffer from many of the pitfalls that plagued so many 90s gadgets â�� like tangled wires, awkward controls and fuzzy displays.

WATCH: Nigel Farage blasts Labour's 'grave errors of judgement' over Peter Mandelson

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has hit out at Labour's "grave errors of judgement" over Lord Peter Mandelson.Speaking to GB News Political Correspondent Katherine Forster, Mr Farage said: "How many more warnings? How many more warnings did the Prime Minister or indeed Morgan McSweeney need? "They have made a grave, grave error of judgement, despite repeated warnings, and this all comes at a time when you've got a Labour MP who's been sentenced to another four years in prison by a foreign court, a Labour MP arrested again and charged on some incredibly serious crimes. "And in politics, you will always get the odd bad apple in a political party, but it would appear that in the case right now of this Prime Minister and his chief of staff, their errors of judgement, partly their errors of judgement, have led now to case after case after case, difficult for somebody who was already the most unpopular Prime Minister in living memory. This deals yet a further blow."And so I still stick to the view that after May the 7th, when you see in Wales, for example, it's very difficult for me to think that Starmer will survive the summer, if he even gets through to May the 7th."WATCH ABOVE.
