Khalid Releases New Hit-Boy Produced Song “Self”

With the release of his much anticipated sophomore album fast approaching, Khalid has released a new track titled “Self.” This release follows that of “Talk,” which is the lead single of Free Spirit produced by British DJ group, Disclosure. Free Spirit launches April 5, via RCA Records.

In his latest track, Khalid transforms his introspections into music, as he offers listeners an intimate peek into his thoughts and emotions. The lyric, which at times features Khalid addressing himself in the third person, are especially evocative and could at times be dark and solemn. The chorus reads, “I don’t need another hand, I need a couple suggestions / Always had a little trouble with self-reflections.”

While “Self” adopts a more toned-down vibe, the Hit-Boy-produced track nevertheless offers fans a deeper yet groovy sound that showcases Khalid’s multidimensional repertoire. Overall, the single is a heavier R&B piece that does not lose its vibrancy. Listen to Khalid’s latest single below.

Khalid is one of the biggest names in the pop and music industry today. His impressive debut album American Teen has already reached double-platinum status and has garnered him five Grammy nods. With the releases of “Talk” and “Self,” fans across the world can expect Free Spirit to add to the successes of Khalid, who will also be releasing a companion film tagged to his upcoming album. Free Spirit is currently available for pre-order.
