Zendaya isnt ready to put her music career behind her.
The Challengers star, in a recent interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show , spoke about her love for music and declared that its something thats been special to her.
She dropped her debut self-titled album her first and only solo project in 2013 and has collaborated with the likes of Chris Brown, Zac Efron (for The Greatest Showman soundtrack), Bobby Brackins, Labrinth and Dominic Fike (for Euphoria) in the years since.
I think being in the music industry maybe didnt kill the joy of music, but its when you put music and business together. Sometimes, it cannot feel so good, she explained.
Zendaya once teased an upcoming second album MTV News described as distinctly an R&B record that reportedly involved Diane Warren and Babyface in 2016.
But any news of such a project has significantly faded since shes taken on massive roles in films such as the Spider-Man movies, Dune and Dune: Part Two.

You know, I think if the right timing and it came, because I like creating it for myself, but if there was a moment, maybe I would, you know, put out a little something, said Zendaya as the audience erupted in applause.
Dont get crazy! Well see, but maybe one day.
