LOS ANGELES, USA – Multi-platinum global superstar Khalid has officially announced the release of his highly anticipated new album After the Sun Goes Down, arriving on October 10 via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. The record marks a striking new chapter for the singer-songwriter, exploring themes of love, self-discovery, openness and a revitalized sense of freedom.
To set the stage for the album, Khalid unveiled his latest single In Plain Sight alongside a visually arresting music video directed by acclaimed creative collective 91 Rules (Camila Cabello, Jon Bellion). Both sonically vibrant and symbolically charged, the video captures Khalid’s artistic and personal evolution as he embraces this new era.
“This chapter is about taking my power back, living in my truth, and being able to express myself freely. I’m excited for my fans to experience this new era with me, not just musically, but personally.” Khalid shares.
Since bursting onto the scene with his diamond-certified breakout single Location in 2016, Khalid has become one of the most influential voices of his generation. His debut album American Teen achieved 4x platinum certification, while his sophomore effort Free Spirit debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 and earned widespread critical acclaim, with The New York Times declaring it a “Critic’s Pick.”
Over the years, Khalid has amassed over 35 billion global streams, earned seven GRAMMY nominations, and won a host of accolades including six Billboard Music Awards, four American Music Awards, two iHeartRadio Music Awards, and an MTV Video Music Award. TIME Magazine named him one of the Most Influential People of 2019, and Rolling Stone dubbed him a “pop prodigy.”
