Khalid releases ‘Adore U’

His highly-anticipated third album is coming soon

Multi-platinum-selling global superstar Khalid releases his new single “Adore U” via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. Written by Khalid and produced by Digi and Justin Lucas, “Adore U” follows the star’s previously released single “Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me.” Both offerings mark a new chapter for Khalid and his highly anticipated third album which is coming soon.

“‘Adore U’ is one of my favorite records. It delivers a melancholic experience filled with ethereal melodies and soulful vocals setting the tone for my upcoming album that I can’t wait for my fans to experience,” Khalid shares.

Khalid, who was named one of TIME’s Most Influential People of 2019, has taken the world by storm since his first single, the RIAA-certified diamond “Location” (released right before his high school graduation) exploded onto the scene leading to a major label deal with Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records followed by the release of his debut album, the certified four-time platinum, American Teen. His sophomore album Free Spirit, was released to critical acclaim in 2019. The album, which has been certified two-time platinum, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and features the Grammy-nominated multi-format No. 1 single “Talk.”

In 2020, he was named the youngest artist to surpass 15 billion streams on Spotify alone and was named BMI’s Pop Songwriter of the Year. During the summer of 2021, Khalid debuted his track “New Normal” at Virgin Galactic’s “Unity 22” Spaceflight launch where it played in the shuttle during its descent back to Earth. To close out the year, he released his Scenic Drive tape which he describes as a companion piece to his 2018 EP Sun City. Khalid and Marshmello teamed up again on their 2022 summer hit “Numb,” making this the artist’s second collaboration following their six-time platinum smash hit “Silence” in 2017. Last year, Khalid was featured on the official soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie and joined Ed Sheeran in select cities across North America on his + – = ÷ x Tour.
