Khalid is gearing up to release a two-pack of collaborative singles on Friday, December 8. This offering showcases his ability to merge his smooth R&B sound with the distinct styles of two powerhouse artists: Ayra Starr and Normani.
Known for his soulful vocals and introspective songwriting, Khalid has consistently pushed the boundaries of contemporary R&B. Over time, with multiple hit songs like Location, Eastside, and Talk, as well as three extremely successful albums to his name, he’s solidified his place in global music.
With his ability to craft tracks that seamlessly blend raw emotions with lyrical relatability on a global level, it’s no wonder that his music is so loved worldwide.
Ayra Starr, the Nigerian Afropop queen, brings her vibrant and fearless energy to one of the two tracks, Make It Up To You. With her ability to craft hits again and again and again, such as Bloody Samaritan, Rush, and Last Heartbreak Song, she has proven her ability to create anthems rooted in confidence and resilience.
Her presence on this track is set to infuse it with the youthful vibrancy and melodic depth that have made her a global star.
Meanwhile, Normani, a versatile artist with roots in pop and R&B, partners with Khalid on the other track, Personal. Having worked with Khalid before on the chart-topping Love Lies, back in 2018, we know that these two combine to make fiery music. As she adds her sultry vocal power and musical finesse to the mix, Personal will certainly be electric, and with hits like Wild Side to her name and a reputation for emotive performances, her contribution promises a track that’ll touch the very core of listeners.
This two-pack highlights Khalid’s unique ability to draw from diverse influences, blending Ayra Starr’s Afrobeats flair and Normani’s R&B finesse into a cohesive and unforgettable sonic experience.
