I’ve always been so high on Khalid that I have problems passing drug tests. He has a pure, almost therapeutic sound that never loses its appeal. However, after the release of his solid American Teen album in 2017, I feel like he hasn’t quite reached the same level of success. But let’s face it, talent like his doesn’t just disappear overnight, so I have every confidence that Khalid will bounce back. Maybe his latest single, “Please Don’t Fall In Love with Me,” will catalyze that resurgence.

The title sure packs a punch, doesn’t it? It takes a certain level of confidence—or maybe toxicity—to openly advise someone not to fall in love with you. Knowing Khalid’s reputation as a nice guy, it raises eyebrows. Anywho, in the track, he finds himself questioning his ex-lover’s new relationship, almost yearning to witness the intimate moments they share, reminiscent of their own past. What’s particularly intriguing about the song is its stylistic approach. While the soothing production and lyrical content are expected, Khalid’s fervent singing style adds a surprising twist. It’s a departure from his usual demeanor, resembling more the delivery of rappers or singers aiming for a rap-like cadence.
