His third album Sincere
Khalid is returning to Australia after five years to perform his third album, 'Sincere', at the Sydney Opera House. The album was released on 2 August 2024 through RCA Records. It is his first studio album release since 'Free Spirit', which came out in 2019.
'Sincere' features a sole guest appearance from English singer-songwriter Arlo Parks, who is featured on the eighth track, 'Breathe'. The deluxe edition of the album was released on 6 December 2024 and included six new songs, with guest appearances from Normani, Ayra Starr, and Chloe Bailey. Khalid explained that he needed time to understand what kind of artist he wanted to be after his debut at the age of seventeen. He said:
> "I wasn't even writing based on my experiences. I took it back to the roots and approached it as if I were debuting as an artist again. It's like going back to the beginning of my journey, but this time with more awareness and knowledge."
The album's lead single, 'Please Don't Fall in Love with Me', was released on 5 April 2024, followed by the second single, 'Adore U', on 14 June 2024. On 1 July 2024, Khalid announced the album along with its cover art and release date. The third single, 'Ground', was released on 19 July 2024, followed by the tracklist three days later. 'Heatstroke', the fourth single, impacted US contemporary hit radio on 23 August 2024.
'Sincere' has received positive reviews from fans, with many praising the album for its cohesive feel and Khalid's return to his lyrical roots. Some fans have noted that the album could have benefited from more upbeat tracks, as many of the songs feel like background tracks rather than standouts. However, overall, the album has been well-received, with one fan commenting that it is the "happiest I've been listening to an album in years".
