Is it even possible for Khalid to create one song that is NOT amazing?” —Seriously, this 20-year-old knows exactly how to please the ears of anyone. Khalid’s unique vocals and his style of music even has my boss (a heavy rocker) absolutely love his music. Every single that this young man has been in or has released is just amazing! One thing that is unique about Khalid is that although he has done many colabs with multiple artists such as Normani, Billy Ellish, Shawn Mendes, Post Malone, ect… he still somehow maintains his unique R&B chill vibe.

Recently, Khalid has joined with Disclosure to produce his new album set to release in April 2019. The first song that has been released from this album is called “Talk”. This hot new track is a combination of Disclosure’s known electronics and Khalid’s style of contemporary R&B. In this sizzling track the synthesizers are faded in the beginning, but not enough to overpower the mellowness. This beat not only has me feeling a type of way, but it is super catchy! The beat is a smooth R&B bounce that is incorporated with just enough electronic blemishes, which perfectly match to Khalid’s lyrics. The lyrics ease their way smoothly into a hot new relationship taking things nice and easy. Khalid mentions that he dreams about getting an attractive girl in his bed, but instead of moving things too fast he asks her “Can we just talk” to get to know each other better —ah such a gentleman! Just the thought of this track has me blushing and bouncing.  Although Khalid might take things easy in his relationships he is not slowing down anytime soon in his music. I’m excited to see what Khalid’s sophomore album has in store for his fans this coming April.
