Khalid
Khalid’s got a message: he’s taking control, and this time, the world better keep up. The multi-platinum artist is ready to flip the script with his new album, After The Sun Goes Down, dropping October 10th via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. Forget what you knew about Khalid—this is a bold new chapter that’s about freedom and owning his story.
To kick things off, Khalid’s just dropped In Plain Sight, a vibrant, feel-good anthem that hits different. With its smooth, infectious groove and a video that’s a visual feast (directed by 91 Rules, who’s worked with Camila Cabello and Jon Bellion), the song screams evolution. Khalid’s out here celebrating himself, and he’s doing it on his terms; “This chapter is about taking my power back, living in my truth, and being able to express myself freely,” Khalid shared in a statement. “I’m excited for my fans to experience this new era with me, not just musically, but personally.”
With After The Sun Goes Down, Khalid is ready to share his truth with the world. Fans can expect a blend of upbeat, infectious sounds, and introspective lyrics that delve into the complexities of personal growth. Khalid’s meteoric rise began with his breakout single Location, which exploded onto the scene just before his high school graduation. This led to a major label deal and the release of his 4x platinum debut album, American Teen. His 2019 follow-up Free Spirit earned widespread critical acclaim, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and earning a GRAMMY-nominated hit with Talk.
Khalid has since become a staple of modern pop, known for his collaborations with artists like Normani, Halsey, Alicia Keys, and Billie Eilish, and his unique ability to seamlessly blend genres like R&B, pop, and soul. To date, Khalid has been streamed more than 35 billion times globally, earning him numerous accolades, including six Billboard Music Awards, four American Music Awards, and two iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Earlier in 2023, Khalid was featured on the official soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film. The following year, his third album, Sincere, saw him further evolve as an artist, exploring the bittersweet experience of growing up. Fans can pre-save After The Sun Goes Down now, and with In Plain Sight already out, Khalid’s new era is off to an exciting start.
