Multi-platinum selling global superstar Khalid announces his new album After The Sun Goes Down releasing October 10th via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. Exploring themes of love, self-discovery, openness, and a refreshed sense of freedom, the album ushers in a bold new chapter for Khalid.
Today, Khalid releases his upbeat, infectious new song “In Plain Sight” alongside the music video which is directed by 91 Rules (Camila Cabello, Jon Bellion). Visually arresting and symbolically meaningful, the video celebrates Khalid’s personal and artistic evolution as he embarks into the night.
Khalid says, “This chapter is about taking my power back, living in my truth, and being able to express myself freely. I’m excited for my fans to experience this new era with me, not just musically, but personally.”
Multi-platinum global superstar Khalid, named one of TIME’s Most Influential People of 2019, broke through with his RIAA diamond single “Location” just before graduating high school, leading to a deal with Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records and his 4x platinum debut American Teen. His 2x platinum sophomore album Free Spirit debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, earning critical acclaim and the GRAMMY-nominated #1 single “Talk.”
With over 50 billion streams, seven GRAMMY nominations, and awards including six Billboard Music Awards and four American Music Awards, Khalid has collaborated with stars such as Normani (“Love Lies”), Halsey and Benny Blanco (“Eastside”), Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, and Ed Sheeran. He became the youngest artist to surpass 15 billion Spotify streams and was named BMI’s Pop Songwriter of the Year. Highlights include his Scenic Drive tape (2021), hits with Marshmello (“Silence,” “Numb”), contributing to the Barbie soundtrack (2023), touring with Ed Sheeran, and his 2024 album Sincere, reflecting his growth as an artist.
