The forthcoming LP also follows 2018’s Suncity EP and “lovely”, his stellar track with Billie Eilish, our Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, Free Spirit the record follows Khalid’s 2017 breakthrough debut, American Teen, which earned the R&B prodigy two Grammy nominations and a Best New Artist win at the MTV VMAs. Free Spirit the movie hits theaters for just one day on April 3rd, and all screenings will feature listening sessions for the new album. Its story was written by Khalid himself with the help of Emil Nava, a British music video director who’s previously collaborated with Pharrell Williams, Ellie Goulding, and Post Malone. All other details regarding the full tracklist and any additional special guests will be revealed March 7th when the LP becomes available for pre-order.Īccompanying the album is a short film of the same name.
“Talk”, Khalid’s recent collaboration with Disclosure, is expected to appear on the effort. 2 The album was supported by the Billboard Hot 100 top 20 singles 'Location' and 'Young Dumb & Broke' as well as the third single 'Saved'. 1 It was released on March 3, 2017, by Right Hand Music Group and RCA Records. Its cinematic cover artwork can be seen below. American Teen is the debut studio album by American singer Khalid. The record is titled Free Spirit and is set for release on April 5th. There’s a totally new energy in the odd-couple collab “LET IT GO” (featuring Justin Bieber and 21 Savage), a mountain-moving statement song that features both JAY-Z and Nas (“SORRY NOT SORRY”), and then a legends-only dancehall set called “WHERE YOU COME FROM” featuring Buju Banton, Capleton, and Bounty Killer.Khalid has formally announced his sophomore album. The sounds he’s engineered here are undeniable in that regard and will surely be as eyebrow-raising for the uninitiated as they are for those overcome with nostalgia. To be fair, though, these same touchstones of hip-hop past are in many cases samples themselves, with Khaled merely furthering the tradition he was born into-updating great music for a new generation of listeners.
classic “Long Kiss Goodnight” for “THIS IS MY YEAR,” and then we get Justin Timberlake on “JUST BE” singing over a piano loop that Ghostface Killah made famous on “All That I Got Is You.” Project opener “THANKFUL,” featuring Lil Wayne and Jeremih, borrows the flute line from JAY-Z’s “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love).” Fans of dearly departed ATL hero Shawty Lo will recognize the horn charge from H.E.R./Migos collaboration “WE GOING CRAZY” as the one from “Dey Know.” A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Big Sean, Puff Daddy, and Rick Ross appear over an interpolation of the Notorious B.I.G. For hip-hop heads of a certain age, there’s an inescapable familiarity present throughout DJ Khaled’s 12th studio album, KHALED KHALED.
