Normani and Khalid appear to be cooking up new music.
The pair achieved top 10 success in 2018 with their 5x Platinum smash ‘Love Lies’ and each went on to rack up further wins on their individual journeys.
Now, it looks like their paths have aligned once again – fresh from the release of their recent albums ‘Dopamine’ and ‘Sincere.’
Full story below…
While Khalid took a scenic drive onto the Billboard 200’s second quadrant with his 2021 mixtape, it’s been five years since his fans were last treated to a studio album.
With that set – 2019’s chart-topping ‘Free Spirit‘ – being his first #1 and second top 5 hit on the all-genre chart, it undoubtedly set the bar high for the commercial performance expectations of its follow-up.
Originally titled ‘Everything Is Changing,’ the LP was beleaguered by a murky rollout that included a string of non-charting singles and an eventual name change to ‘Sincere‘ before being softly launched on August 2.
Unexpectedly, its battle for Billboard 200 dominance was met by two BIG challengers: the newest variant of Taylor Swift‘s blockbuster ‘The Tortured Poets Department‘ as well as Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign‘s joint album ‘Vultures 2.’
Look inside to see how ‘Sincere’ stacked up against the chart titans.
Five years separate fans of Khalid from his last album, 2019’s chart-topping ‘Free Spirit,’ but now the Alt-R&B hitmaker is bringing the wait for that project’s follow-up to a close with the August 2-released ‘Sincere.’
Originally titled ‘Everything Is Changing,’ ‘Sincere’ comes as a 16-track set that boasts vocal, songwriting, and/or production contributions from the likes of Alicia Keys, Drake, Noah Shebib, Arlo Parks, Adrian Rodriguez, Jason Kellner, Justin Lucas, M-Phazes, and more.
Released courtesy of Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records, the new LP is being led to Billboard 200 chart battle on the wings of previously released singles ‘Please Don’t Fall in Love with Me,’ ‘Adore U,’ ‘Ground,’ and ‘Heatstroke’ (which saw its music video dropped on August 2 like its parent project).

As Khalid fans anxiously awaited official news about his third studio album, the serially delayed ‘Everything is Changing,’ he did some changing of his own by updating the project’s title to ‘Sincere.’
“’Sincere’ is a combination of my life experiences, it takes inspiration from conversations that I have had with my fans, supporters, and the people that love me,” the 7x GRAMMY said of the LP.
Due on digital shelves August 2, the 16-track effort will house his warmly received singles ‘Please Don’t Fall in Love with Me‘ and ‘Adore U‘ as well as the July 19-released ‘Ground.’
“I could stare at you all evenin’ / Meltin’ into the mountainside / Now I’m focusin’ on my breathin’ / Wonderin’ how I got so high / I’ll be right here on the ground / My feet, feet don’t fail me now,” he sings over M-Phazes and Aiden Rodriguez production.

Barely a week after introducing music lovers to his latest single, ‘Adore U,’ GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Khalid gives the touching tune the official video treatment.
Helmed by famed video director Levi Turner, the video shows K showing off some fancy footwork in a parking lot when not crooning out his heart to a lost love.
“Started on two different pages, I’m happy we made it / You say that you’re broken, I’m the one who saves you / Thousand miles apart and God knows that I hate it / Nothing hurts me more than when we’re separated,” he says in the Digi-produced song’s first verse.

As Khalid fans anxiously await official news on his third studio album “Everything is Changing,” the follow-up to his chart-topping 2019 LP ‘Free Spirit,‘ the 7x GRAMMY nominee is continuing to tease it by releasing a string of standalone singles believed to be a foretaste of what the forthcoming project will offer.
Following the warmly received “Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me,“ “Skyline,” “Softest Touch,“ “Satellite,” and “Last Call,” K recently lifted the lid on “Adore You.”
“Feels like high, we should just float / We should get high, we should just,” he sings on the Digi and Justin Lucas-produced track. “Fall into my arms, let me adore you / High, we should just float…”

Khalid is gearing up for the release for his third studio album.
Ahead of its release, the GRAMMY nominee is reflecting on his status in the musical sphere and opening up about what folk can expect from his incoming effort.
Full story below…
With his signature baritone in tow, Khalid wowed with the first live performance of his latest single ‘Please Don’t Fall in Love with Me.’
“I hope that you believe in the end that I got you / How can I move forward when every relationship I get in / Don’t hit the same ’cause it’s not you?,” the crooner relays on the Jason Kellner-produced song’s chorus.
Featuring a notable interpolation of Alicia Keys’ 2009 hit ‘Unthinkable (I’m Ready),’ ‘Don’t Fall’ comes as the newest taste of Khalid’s forthcoming album – the yet-titled follow-up to 2019’s ‘Free Spirit.’
Ahead of official news on when that project will drop, hop inside to hear how K handled his new song via a stripped-back live showing.
Khalid returns with his brand new single ‘Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me.’
Built on a sample of Alicia Keys‘ contemporary classic ‘Un-Thinkable (I’m Ready),’ the piercing track is driven by the crooner’s powerful vocals and compelling penmanship.
Co-written and produced by Jason Kellner, Denis Kosiak, and Jef Villaluna, the personal cut serves as the first taste of Khalid’s forthcoming third studio album.
Speaking on the track, the multi-platinum singer said:
“The last few years consisted of me working diligently on what I presume to be my best and most personal album yet. I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time in the studio working with some of my favorite creatives just to deliver this amazing body of work and now I finally get to share a piece of me in my new era with my day one fans!”

Khalid is toasting the past, present, and future!
For, the performer seized the here and now to bask in two seismic achievements and tease new music.
Full story below…
Adekunle Gold has poured out his ‘Tequila Ever After.’
Serving as the Afro-Pop star’s fifth studio album (and debut for Def Jam), the flavorsome set packs a potent punch.
Towering tall at 17 tracks, the project was preceded by singles ‘Party No Dey Stop,’ ‘Ogaranya,’ and songs from his ‘Tio Tequila’ EP landed earlier this year.
An eclectic array of collaborators join AG on the LP – including Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, Khalid, Coco Jones, and the performer’s wife Simi. Producers in the mix include Labrinth and Gold’s longtime partner in rhyme Kel-P.
Touted as a love letter the sound of Africa that has reverberated across the globe (such as Afrobeats and Amampiano), Gold said of the album:
“I’m not the Adekunle Gold who released my first album in 2016. I have a lot more confidence now.”

With its rise to #13 on last week’s Billboard Hot 100, Toosii‘s ‘Favorite Song’ not only shines as the first top 20 hit of his career but also his highest peak on the tally yet.
Ahead of the June 2 delivery of the tune’s parent album, ‘Naujour,’ the rising rapper is looking to help ‘Favorite’ rise into the top 10 by lifting the lid on its official remix starring GRAMMY-nominated star Khalid.
“I’m excited to have Khalid join me on this track,” Toosii shared. “He has such a dope and unique voice and I think it really takes an already amazing song to the next level. I’ve been wanting to collab with him on the right track for a while and I think we picked the perfect one.”
