The pain he evokes throughout the whole song is genuine and heartfelt. In “Heaven”, he opens with an intense instrumental, followed by the lyrics “You’re my ride or die / Let’s burn out tonight / Even if we don’t survive.” Throughout both the intro and the song, Khalid continues with his heavy emotion and dark tone. Whether the message behind the song is happy or sad, longing for something or in the moment, Khalid creates his music to be relatable to all listeners. There are songs for when life is getting you at your worst, songs for when you miss someone and songs for the good times. There are songs on this album to be paired with living free and easy. His music is the type that anyone can hear and instantly relate to. Khalid has a very specific sound and mood to his music-a surreal and identifiable tone. Khalid’s style, which consistently flows between pop and R&B, is one that people all over can easily identify with. This album had a lot to live up to after his debut single “ Location” went quintuple platinum and his debut album “ American Teen” went double platinum as well.
