Khalid, American Teen | Track Review 🎵

Teen R&B singer Khalid shows incredible potential on 80s-inspired, urban contemporary single, “American Teen.”

Two big new releases arrive March 3, 2017: Ed Sheeran (‘÷’) and Khalid (‘American Teen’). Otherwise, it’s a relatively quiet start to March.

Future returns with a second surprise project, ‘HNDRXX.’ ‘HNDRXX’ features two guest artists: The Weeknd and Rihanna.

Linkin Park returns with a new single, “Heavy,” featuring pop up-and-comer, Kiiara. At best, “Heavy” feels lukewarm.

ATL super rapper Future returns with another surprise project, simply titled, ‘Future.’ ‘Future’ follows 2016 surprise LP, ‘EVOL.’

Hip-hop newcomer Jidenna delivers an ambitious, enjoyable debut album with ‘The Chief.’

The new album by Little Big Town, The Breaker, is the biggest attraction from the final music shopping date in February 2017.

Uncle Charlie Wilson delivers another consistent, enjoyable adult contemporary R&B album on his eighth album, ‘In It to Win It.’

Lupe Fiasco returns with his sixth album DROGAS Light, an effort which has its moments, but also falls short of his best work.

Burgeoning teen R&B singer Khalid delivers a sensational single in “Location,” a relatable gem about young love.

Following the success of the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, highly anticipated follow up Fifty Shades Darker arrives in star-studded fashion.

Music Shopping List: Jidenna (The Chief) and Ryan Adams (Prisoner) need new albums released on February 17, 2017.
