Album Description
Available in: Country Icon
Khalid Robinson brak in 2017 door met het album American Teen. Daarvoor was hij al te horen op hits van o.a. Kendrick Lamar en Alina Baraz. Al voor de release van zijn debuutplaat wist hij al in de VS een succesvolle tournee te doen met o.a. een uitverkocht huis in zijn thuisstad El Paso. Daarna ging het hard met opvallende optredens bij Jimmy Fallon, een bijdrage in de soundtrack van Black Panther en haalde hij de top tien met zijn duet met Normani in Love Lies. De single Talk ging dit nieuwe album voor en ook twee tracks van de EP Suncity zijn aanwezig op Free Spirit. Met zijn opvallende stem dat ergens tussen een bariton en een tenor ligt heeft hij ook op dit nieuwe album de r 'n b/pop sound weten te vernieuwen met een fris geluid.

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.
