Multi-platinum global superstar Khalid makes a triumphant return with the release of his highly anticipated new album, after the sun goes down, out now via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. The 17-track collection marks a bold new era for the singer-songwriter, diving deep into themes of love, self-discovery, openness, and emotional freedom—all wrapped in Khalid’s signature soulful sound.
Executive produced by ILYA (Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith), the album brings together an all-star creative team including Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser (Addison Rae), Oscar Gorres (Troye Sivan), Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé, Tate McRae), Rodney Jerkins (Destiny’s Child, Lady Gaga), Julia Michaels (Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber), and Michael Pollack (Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5).
The project features fan favorites “out of body” and “in plain sight,” which have earned high praise from critics — Rolling Stone described them as “infectious,” while Billboard noted their “top-tier dance production and Khalid’s effortless vocal excellence.”
In his own words, Khalid shares:
“This is what freedom sounds like. It’s me completely vulnerable, honest, healing, and unafraid. I’m proud of who I am and the love I have to give—and I think there’s power in that. My hope is that my music will help uplift others and be a soundtrack for their journeys.”
after the sun goes down stands as Khalid’s most personal and liberating work to date—an introspective yet optimistic body of music that reflects an artist stepping into his fullest light.
