New music Fridays are a thrilling, yet daunting prospect for any music lover.
It’s essentially a weekly holiday where fan-favorite artists and fresh faces alike drop their latest offerings for all the world to hear, flooding streaming services and digital retailers with an onslaught of aural goodies (and if we’re being honest, usually a few stinkers, too). But who has the time to sit there and listen to everything before updating their playlists?

On Friday, Oct. 22, Khalid finally gave followers a tease of the fresh tunes he’s working on for his EP and album with the track “Present.”
“I feel like over the past two years dealing with the pandemic, I had to live with myself a lot for the first time. No distractions, none of my friends, not even my occupation, my job,” Khalid shared on Apple Music 1 when reflecting on his upcoming music. “So, I really feel like I’ve been taking time to just zone in on doing what I want to do and making music that I want to do.”
