Apparently Khalid is working on a new album and he won’t answer text!  

Since releasing his last album, “Free Spirit”, over a year ago, and 3 years since the release of his hit album “American Teen”, the El Paso native noted on his rise to stardom and reminisces on his debut album and hints that he is working on a new album that would earn him three Grammy nominations. 

In an interview with Complex, he states that “I’m zoning in on my creativity. I feel like I’m taking it back to the basics, kind of writing the album how I approached American Teen, and American Teen is so special to me. I feel that same sort of inspiration I felt when I first started creating.” 

There have been only a few artists who can build up album sales streams like Khalid does. He is the youngest artist in history with over fifteen billion streams on Spotify and is the tenth-most streamed male artist of all time on the streaming platform.  

Additionally, two of his collaborations—“Eastside” with Halsey & Benny Blanco and “Lovely” with Billie Eilish are among Spotify’s 100 most streamed songs ever.  

Also, given his background, Khalid wants to help other artists make it big in the industry. So he teamed up with Reebok for the Write Your Legacy contest, in honor of the launch of the Reebok Classic Leather Legacy. The U.S.-only contest will give one singer-songwriter an opportunity to be mentored by Khalid and $10,000 to spend toward their music career. Contestants can enter here by submitting a two-minute video or less, explaining what they want their legacy to be, plus a 60-second sample of them singing an original song.
