Khalid is all set for the summer with his latest single ‘Skyline’

“’Skyline’ to me is a recharge and full of summer vibes,” said Khalid in a press release for the song. “I hope it brings my fans joy and gets them through any dark times they may be going through.” Said Khalid in a press release.

Produced by chrome sparks and written by Khalid himself Skyline is a retro pop record in which its music video directed by Levi Turner and Cody LaPlant sticks to its theme. In the radiant music video Khalid basks in a summery atmosphere similar to that of his 2019 release Right back featuring (A boogie with da hoodie) from his sophomore album Free Spirit. But amidst what seems to be an endless dance scene, what really strikes out for the viewer in this aesthetic pleasing video is the 1999 image shifting edition of the GT-R skyline.

Over his fantastic catalogue, with his raspy vocals, Khalid is renowned for making broody songs whether in the form of R&B or pop. Skyline seems to be a return to making party-starting pop anthems much needed this summer.
