God, it really seems like Khalid is everywhere recently—I get the appeal. A young, Gen Z quasi-R&B pop singer who laments about “not being able to really connect” and just wanting to “talk.” One gets the sense that the 21-year-old singer might slide into your DMs to confess his messy feelings, only to ghost you at the most convenient opportunity. But enough projection. “Location” was a legitimate bop, especially once UK rapping sensation Little Simz hopped on the remix. “Saved” got me through many a walk home. “Talk” is annoying, but fine. If you don’t mind the cheese, by all means, Khalid is your man. He’ll be joined by fresh-faced and equally viral lo-fi pop sensation Clairo. by Jas Keimig
