After a period where his private life became public, Khalid chose to step out of his fear and embrace his sexuality on a worldwide scale. That boldness became the heartbeat of this new album — AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN. For someone who once preferred to create in isolation, opening up to collaboration built the soundscape for this album. This album is the result of Khalid stepping out of fear and into a space of freedom, honesty and community. The album celebrates escapism, intimacy, queer empowerment, lust, desire and love.
