Khalid has released his new mixtape Scenic Drive, which he teased back in October. 

While it might not be billed as a proper full-length album, it's loaded with quite the number of collaborations, which is something of an outlier compared to Khalid's previous records. Among the guest features are Alicia Keys, 6LACK, Lucky Daye, JID, Majid Jordan, Ari Lennox, Smino, Kiane Ledé and QUIN. The 9-track project includes the song "Present," for which he recently released a video.

"I’ve had the chance to listen to a lot of music and also push myself creatively while I’m recording," says Khalid. "My Mom raised me on R&B and whether it’s the harmonies or melodies, it will always be a part of my music."

He adds: "'Present' is just the beginning and I love that it has a dual meaning. It feels good to be more 'present' after such a trying year in the pandemic and it’s also a 'present' for my fans that have been with me every step of the way.”
