I love the colorful vibes attached to it, in addition to the way Khalid lets his feelings of loneliness, confusion and fragility manifest itself on it. How were you able to achieve this sound, Khalid? “Bad Luck” has an energy attached to it that is a somber, yet lively. I love this song for its energetic, yet somber feel, but especially for its old school nature. Over this instrumental, Khalid says goodbye to his once-upon-a-time lover, smoothly crooning about his intentions of putting his phone on silent and sleeping with the rats in the basement of his house to cope with the break-up (OK, maybe not that second part). “My Bad” is powered by this bass boomin’/guitar-heavy instrumental that reminds me of some old school R&B s**t from back in the day.

Khalid will have you under his spell in “My Bad.” Personally, I love how the Texas born singer takes his time laying down his every word on this song, inserting infectious melodies and very impressive harmonizing into the fray, too. As for Khalid, he gets a chance to talk about connecting with his woman more than her parents does on the track, regurgitating each and every one of her current problems back to her.

It gives off this laid-back feel on the instrumental, reminding me of the vibes that you would get if you were hanging out at the pier when the sun was coming down. “Saturday Night” fits its title perfectly.

“Saturday Night” is a very sweet track to end “Free Spirit” with. Personally, I think Khalid’s words on this song are powerful, but not gravely honest, but not all the way blunt.Īt this point of my life, I rather be 31 then 21… Over this instrumental, Khalid sings nimbly about the ups and downs that comes with falling in love with someone while still trying to figure out your own-self. “Twenty One” features a vibrant instrumental that boasts both summery and coming-of-age vibes. “Twenty One” serves as yet another example that Khalid can have a solid career as a pop crooner. With the release of “Free Spirit,” the El Paso singer/songwriter looks to continue his maturation process as an artist, doing everything he can to reach his peak without forgetting where he came from. Khalid has never followed anything by the book, instead he’s followed his emotions and heart this is why I believe he is the most satisfying R&B artist to listen to today.
