Grammy-nominated Khalid returns with a super sleek new urban contemporary single, “Talk,” produced by Grammy-nominated electronic duo, Disclosure. 

“Yeah, started off right / I can see it in your eyes / I can tell that you’re wantin’ more…” Uh-oh… sounds like some ‘talking’ needs to occur…just an observation. Following the release of his EP Suncity, Grammy-nominated R&B Khalid returns with a fresh new single – his first of 2019.  “Talk” is sure to be amongst the ‘talk’ of the urban contemporary market, with some electronic crossover (more on that in a moment).  Basically, the 21-year old does what he does best – sing like an angel.

“Talk” is sleekly produced to the nth degree, thanks to the talents of Disclosure.  The synths are warm, yet also have the right amount of bite.  The beat itself is perfectly suited for Khalid and a modern, urban contemporary record in general.  As always, Khalid delivers a strong vocal performance, showcasing his inescapable, distinct tone.  Besides his compelling chest voice, we also get some lovely falsetto as well.  Adding to the strength of “Talk” is a memorable chorus which serves as the crème de la crème in regard to overall songwriting.

“Can’t we just talk? Can’t we just talk?
Talk about where we’re goin’
Before we get lost, lend me your thoughts
Can’t get what we want without knowin’
I’ve never felt like this before
I apologize if I’m movin’ too far
Can’t we just talk? Can’t we just talk?
Figure out where we’re goin’.”

Final Thoughts

Just to reiterate, Khalid does what he does best – sings like an angel.  “Talk” isn’t a game changing R&B single, but it is well-rounded by all means.  Disclosure’s awesome production helps to put the record over the top.
