Khalid is bursting onto the music scene with his first single “Location”, which is receiving great critical acclaim. Complex said, “A soul record that fools you into thinking it’s a hip-hop record until you think about it, ‘Location’ has a great concept and is well-executed.” NYLON stated, “One would expect that a mature, soulful sound would have few fans among millennials, but Khalid is here to shatter expectations.” Teen Vogue also noted, “Boasting soulful vocals that stand out against a dazed, minimalistic soundscape, the track is about the eagerness that comes with talking to a new romantic interest.”
The 18-year-old singer/songwriter, Khalid, is set to release his debut album American Teen on March 3rd 2017 via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. In addition, Apple Music selected Khalid as their New Artist of the Week. The New Artist Week program features up-and-coming artists, editorially selected by Apple Music.
