With his signature baritone in tow, Khalid wowed with the first live performance of his latest single Please Don’t Fall in Love with Me.’

“I hope that you believe in the end that I got you / How can I move forward when every relationship I get in / Don’t hit the same ’cause it’s not you?,” the crooner relays on the Jason Kellner-produced song’s chorus.

Featuring a notable interpolation of Alicia Keys’ 2009 hit ‘Unthinkable (I’m Ready),’ ‘Don’t Fall’ comes as the newest taste of Khalid’s forthcoming album – the yet-titled follow-up to 2019’s ‘Free Spirit.’

Khalid returns with his brand new single ‘Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me.’

Built on a sample of Alicia Keys‘ contemporary classic ‘Un-Thinkable (I’m Ready),’ the piercing track is driven by the crooner’s powerful vocals and compelling penmanship.

Co-written and produced by Jason Kellner, Denis Kosiak, and Jef Villaluna, the personal cut serves as the first taste of Khalid’s forthcoming third studio album.

Speaking on the track, the multi-platinum singer said:

“The last few years consisted of me working diligently on what I presume to be my best and most personal album yet. I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time in the studio working with some of my favorite creatives just to deliver this amazing body of work and now I finally get to share a piece of me in my new era with my day one fans!”

Adekunle Gold has poured out his ‘Tequila Ever After.’

Serving as the Afro-Pop star’s fifth studio album (and debut for Def Jam), the flavorsome set packs a potent punch.

Towering tall at 17 tracks, the project was preceded by singles ‘Party No Dey Stop,’ ‘Ogaranya,’ and songs from his ‘Tio Tequila’ EP landed earlier this year.

An eclectic array of collaborators join AG on the LP – including Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, Khalid, Coco Jones, and the performer’s wife Simi. Producers in the mix include Labrinth and Gold’s longtime partner in rhyme Kel-P.

Touted as a love letter the sound of Africa that has reverberated across the globe (such as Afrobeats and Amampiano), Gold said of the album:

 “I’m not the Adekunle Gold who released my first album in 2016. I have a lot more confidence now.”

With its rise to #13 on last week’s Billboard Hot 100, Toosii‘s ‘Favorite Song’ not only shines as the first top 20 hit of his career but also his highest peak on the tally yet.

Ahead of the June 2 delivery of the tune’s parent album, ‘Naujour,’ the rising rapper is looking to help ‘Favorite’ rise into the top 10 by lifting the lid on its official remix starring GRAMMY-nominated star Khalid.

“I’m excited to have Khalid join me on this track,” Toosii shared. “He has such a dope and unique voice and I think it really takes an already amazing song to the next level. I’ve been wanting to collab with him on the right track for a while and I think we picked the perfect one.”

One of the year’s most unexpected pairings comes courtesy of chart-blazing music star Khalid and rising rapstress/songstress Bree Runway.

Titled ‘Be the One,’ the tune tells the tale of two hesitant lovers on the precipice of a passionate love affair.

“I can see the tears in your eyes when you look in mine / Told you for the thousandth time, you should be the one for me / Should I stay here tonight? Baby, you decide / Hopin’ you’d be the one, you, you could be the one,” they croon on the chorus of the Digi-produced cut.

The union comes as one neither star was shy about expressing elation over.

“This collaboration is special to me for more than one reason; I’m obsessed with this song; our voices marry together perfectly,” Bree said in a statement. “It magically came together from a hangout in the studio; I love Khalid for his light and his incredible character, I’m really proud to call him a friend, and now musical collaborator. This release will be major, very excited for the world to hear!”

Khalid echoed the sentiment.

“I’ve been a supporter of Bree since long before I even met her, and I have always been a fan of her artistry,” he added. “She has always been a superstar in my eyes and I’m beyond excited to share this moment and collaboration with someone who I can call a genuine friend!”

With collaborative ventures or solo singles like ‘New Normal,’ ‘Last Call,’ ‘Present,’ ‘Skyline,’ and ‘Satellite,’ singer-songwriter Khalid kept fans fed with new music over the last two years and eager to learn the fate of his third studio album – the serially delayed ‘Everything is Changing.’

And while he’s yet to offer an official update on the project’s status, he continues to tease cuts that may line its tracklist. The latest of such stature is ‘Softest Touch.’

A mellow, laidback groove, ‘Touch’ hears Khalid praise a love interest for having everything he’s looking for in a woman.

“You’ve got the softest touch, I just can’t get enough / When it comes to you, you are the one I want / You’ve got the softest touch, I just can’t get enough / This touch, you’ll always be the one I want,” he croons on the hook of the Vaughn Oliver, Blake Straus, and Nico Stadi-produced jam.

Khalid is back with the 2023 heartbreak anthem we didn’t know we needed!

Teaming with Australian dance trio PNAU, the GRAMMY-nominated singer has dropped ‘The Hard Way’ – an EDM banger that masterfully weaves its high BPM with lyrics that speak of struggling to move on after the love has gone.

“I wish we could’ve came to some solution / Through all the conflict, find a resolution / But now we’re sitting in this empty room and / You’re pushin’ me aside,” Khalid sings ahead of the tune’s chorus. “When you said / Both of us just have to learn the hard way / I sit here for hours, begging you to stay / Since you’re leaving me, I’ll never be the same.”

The latest taste of new music from the 25-year-old ahead of the release of his third studio album, ‘Everything is Changing,’ look inside to hear ‘The Hard Way.’

Following a slew of uncharted releases (‘Skyline,’ ‘Last Call,’ ‘Present,’ New Normal,’ and more), last week saw singer-songwriter Khalid score a chart triumph with the Marshmello-led ‘Numb’ – his first Hot 100 top 40 single since 2020’s ‘Be Like That’ with Kane Brown and Swae Lee peaked at #19.

Hoping to make capital of the momentum, the 24-year-old is giving music lovers yet another taste of new music set to line his forthcoming studio album, ‘Everything is Changing,’ via the new song ‘Satellite.’

Produced by Chrome Sparks, the tune likens a fading love to that of a satellite drifting in space.

“Saw the news / All of a sudden left me so confuse,” Khalid croons on the emo track. “They’re tеlling stories that you’re leaving soon / Thеy’ll never know what you’ve been going through, ooh-ooh-ooh.”

Accompanied by a Levi Turner-directed music video, look inside to see K’s futuristic, out-of-this-world ‘Satellite.’

Nearly 5 years after cracking the Hot 100’s top 40 with the now 5x Platinum hit ‘Silence,’ singer Khalid and producer/DJ are looking to crank up the noise and repeat the feat with their new collaboration, ‘Numb.’

“I wanna get numb / And forget where I’m from / ‘Cause lookin’ in your eyes / Like lookin’ at the sun / I feel like you’re the moon / I feel like I’m the one,” K sings in his signature styling.

The collaboration comes amid Khalid’s promotion of his solo endeavors, particularly ‘Skyline’ and ‘Last Call’ (which are both expected to be on his third studio album ‘Everything is Changing’ when it’s released later this year).

As we anxiously await updates on that project, look inside to hear the magic he and Marshmello have created.

Over his short but storied career, Khalid has unapologetically toed the line between Pop and R&B with hits like ‘Location,’ ‘Love Lies,’ ‘Talk,’ and more.

However, with his most recent single ‘Skyline,’ the 7x GRAMMY nominee soared to new personal Pop heights with a feel-good formula that tastes of nothing but sweet summer.

“’Skyline’ to me is a recharge and full of summer vibes,” said Khalid in a press release about the tune. “I hope it brings my fans joy and gets them through any dark times they may be going through.”

As buzz around the track and its accompanying colorful music video picks up, Khalid’s shining a light on the latter via a special behind the scenes clip.

Look inside to see how he teamed with directors Levi Turner and Cody LaPlant to make his vision for the ‘Skyline’ video come to life.
