NEW MUSIC: KHALID | LAST CALL

Khalid is looking back on his past eras as he enters a new one. On Thursday, the singer released the music video for his newest single “Last Call,” in which he pays homage to the themes of his past LPs, but sings about a love he’s willing to wait for. In honour of the 5th anniversary of his debut album "American Teen," the multiplatinum singer returns with new music. On “Last Call,” written by Khalid and produced by Digi, he reflects on his journey. The video opens with Khalid sitting in a classic car with an American flag hanging from the side-view mirror, reminiscent of his "American Teen" LP, which served as the singer’s breakthrough with singles like “Young, Dumb and Broke” and “Location.” The album dropped precisely five years ago. The video then shows a sign with the words "Scenic Drive" buried in the dirt about his last album as he drives down an empty road with friends. The video also shows the vehicle from his "Free Spirit" era and clips of Khalid’s most significant performances before establishing his trophies — including his iHeartRadio Award and a plaque celebrating his billion streams on “Location” — buried in the dirt. The vibey, melancholic vibe taps into the nostalgic sound that fans fell in love with on his debut record while adding a renewed beat that sets it apart from some of the singer’s recent tracks. This marks Khalid’s first music since December’s "Scenic Drive (The Tape)," which featured collaborations with Alicia Keys, Ari Lennox, 6LACK, Lucky Daye, Majid Jordan, and much more.
