Many songs from his EP “Suncity,” which released in October 2018, transferred over to this album.
“Free Spirit” loses all the strengths of “American Teen,” such as the personal, relateable lyrics, strapping vocals, original sounds and consistency throughout the album.Īs much as I respect Khalid, “Free Spirit” is nothing more than a good album to listen to while hanging out with friends during a summer night or during a drive. The beats and melodies retain Khalid’s ’90s R&B vibe, but sounds of generic pop slip through. Some lyrics were personal, but many still lacked depth. He could have done more during the two years since “American Teen’s” release. “Free Spirit” showcases the growth of Khalid as an artist and as a person, but the album itself lacks the meaningful lyrics and strong vocals that are featured in “American Teen,” his first studio album. The themes of love and relationships are explored in the 17 tracks, but the album still misses raw emotion.
The 21-year-old produced a good album to vibe to, that was decent overall. Talented singer-songwriter Khalid’s highly anticipated sophomore album “Free Spirit” meets expectations but fails to surpass them as the music is very cautious, producing an enjoyable yet rather conventional album.
