User Album Review
Suncity covers some of the same ground as American Teen, but with less exuberance. These tracks tend to sound similar: Somber, swelling melodies, often laid out with a few piano chords or a simple guitar lick; lyrics that hint at various forms of angst but remain vague enough to be all-encompassing; a reassuringly steady mid-tempo beat. The song “Vertigo” offers melodic shades of Coldplay, with well-worn lyrics: “Are we better off believing what the ignorant suggest?/ I wish living life was easier, but mine has been a mess.”
On several songs, Khalid appears to be auditioning for future collaborations. “Saturday Nights” is acoustic and breezy; if he added Sam Hunt to a remix, this would be a country hit. Suncity‘s title track, a duet with Empress Of, allows Khalid to practice his Spanish over a reggaeton-lite beat.
It’s hard to be all things to all people, and in his pursuit of the center, Khalid has left one group behind — the singer hasn’t had a hit on R&B/rap radio since “Location.” But his strategy is working: Khalid is all over the Top 40 chart. Suncity will allow him to continue to build a presence there.
