Khalid is shaking things up. The El Paso star, who first won fans with his soulful blend of R&B and pop on hits like “Location,” has just dropped “in plain sight,” and it’s clear he’s chasing a new sound.
Instead of the mellow, alternative grooves he’s known for, Khalid leans into glossy, upbeat pop with heavy nods to 80s dance floors. Behind the boards is powerhouse producer ILYA — a name tied to some of the biggest records from Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Ed Sheeran. Together, they’ve crafted a track that feels both modern and nostalgic, a taste of where Khalid plans to take his fourth studio album.
If “in plain sight” is the blueprint, this era might be Khalid’s most daring yet.
