Khalid returns with deeply personal new album 'After the Sun Goes Down'

Khalid has returned with a deeply personal and sonically rich new album titled 'After the Sun Goes Down', marking what could be his boldest and most revealing era yet. Known for blending soulful vocals with breezy, emotional pop, Khalid takes that familiar warmth and injects it with new layers of vulnerability and confidence.

The album’s cover art - a glowing, Renaissance-inspired party scene with Khalid at the center - perfectly mirrors the music within. It’s joyful and stylish on the surface, but there’s depth behind every lyric. Across 17 tracks, Khalid explores love in all its forms - playful, passionate, complicated, and sometimes painful. From flirtatious highs to moments of self-reflection, every song feels like a snapshot of a late-night conversation with the artist himself.

What truly sets 'After the Sun Goes Down' apart is Khalid’s openness. Now living authentically as an openly queer man, his lyrics feel more honest and direct than ever before. On 'Momentary Lovers' he confidently sings, 'You’re my type, fly dark and handsome', signalling a new era of self-assured artistry.
