Khalid used the arrival of new music to reveal a mixtape Scenic Drive called will come Dec. It feels good to be more ‘present’ after such a trying year in the pandemic and it’s also a present’ for my fans that have been with me every step of the way.” ‘Present’ is just the beginning and I love that it has a dual meaning. My Mom raised me on R&B and whether it’s the harmonies or melodies, it will always be a part of my music. “I’ve had the chance to listen to a lot of music,” the 23-year-old said in a press release, “and also push myself creatively while I’m recording. “I just wanna be with you/Say the word, I’m coming through/Tell me what I gotta do/Pulled up to your avenue,” he sings in the track’s second verse. The 23-year-old crooner dropped his latest song “Present,” marking his first release since July’s futuristic effort “ New Normal.” Today’s offering hears Khalid floating over a melodic R&B joint, carried by some silky guitar strums and the musician’s always on-point vocals. Khalid is continuing his run of 2021 tracks, and he’s staying just as present as ever.
