\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s a new, young (but wise beyond his years) force in R&B. Khalid<\/strong><\/a> is a 19-year-old Texan (by way of Germany) whose new album American Teen<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is cracking the charts open and garnering critical raves. To get a feel for the soulful, sagacious force that is Khalid<\/strong><\/em>, check out his recent performance of single Location<\/strong><\/em> on The Tonight Show <\/strong>as\u00a0graciously\u00a0backed by The Roots<\/strong>. Afterwards check out other phenomenal snippets from the singer (including Location’s<\/strong><\/em> official video, the powerful Saved<\/strong><\/em>, the slinky skate shots in the Shot Down<\/strong><\/em> video and the album’s stellar title track). Khalid’s<\/strong> songs are filled with hooks and ladders tailing off to higher places. Step right up. The artist and his songs are infectious.<\/p>\n

American Teen<\/strong><\/em> is out now on Right Hand\/RCA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
