Highlighting shortcomings and doubts within Free Spirit, Khalid touches topics that are meaningful yet relatable to his listeners.Welcome to /r/HipHopHeads! /r/Hiphopheads COVID-19 Donations Thread The album is a path to finding freedom as your own person, and Khalid definitely displayed the journey well. Songs such as “Alive” and “Self” are a dark reminder of self reflecting and finding a reason to keep going. While the few tracks fall out of the norm, the remainder of the album follows a somber tone. It shows the versatility that Khalid is capable of, seamlessly shifting between RnB and Soft Rock. The transition from the verses into the choruses is smooth, making this track a solid ode to soft rock, a great distinction from the entirety of the album.
The gated beat gives the song an 80’s feel, which only heightens with the guitar solo performed by John Mayer near the ending of the song. The track is lighthearted, focusing on a new budding romance. “Outta My Head” is a beautifully crafted track filled with airy vocals and catchy psychedelic guitar riffs. The punchy beat and soulful vocals make this the perfect song to blare with the windows down this summer. The track showcases Khalid’s vocal growth, where smooth choruses are perfectly weaved with the melody. From the fade in to the electric beat, the song is masterfully produced a definitive symbol of Disclosure’s abilities. Differing from the album’s reflective tone, the song lightens the mood. One of the singles, “Talk” is a compelling track with an addictive melody that will definitely get stuck in your head. The lyrics highlight the miscommunications of relationships as well as the mental well being of the individual, where sometimes the best thing to do is to admit how you are feeling and to step back and work on yourself. The intro track, aptly titled “Intro” is a light beginning to the album with a surprising twist in the lyrics, setting a serious tone for the album. The contrast of Free Spirit to his first album, allows the listener to hear the shift that Khalid undertakes to assert himself as a young man yearning to understand himself, normalizing situations that most listeners can relate to. Growing from his SunCity EP which was released in late 2018, Free Spirit further defines his transition from teenager to young adult with the songs taking on a mature vibe.
Known for his youthful commentary on aspirations and love, he definitely makes an impact with soulful vocals and ear catching melodies. After the release of his debut album, American Teen, Khalid has made himself a house hold name in the genre of R&B.
