It’s a piano-led number that, come to think of it, sounds a lot like something off God’s Favorite Customer. “Heaven” is one of many maudlin ballads on the album, but its particular form of maudlin balladry stands out. The album’s lead single, “ Talk,” was produced by Disclosure, and on tomorrow’s installment of Free Spirit Radio, Khalid will reveal another track on the album was penned by none other than Josh Tillman.
He’s promoting it with a couple pop-up broadcasts on Beats 1, Apple Music’s online radio station.
The young pan-genre pop star from El Paso is releasing Free Spirit, his second album, this Friday. He famously contributed to Beyoncé’s Lemonade hit “Hold Up” and a pair of songs on Lady Gaga’s Joanne, and it sounds like his latest venture into the field is a track on the imminent new album from Khalid. Father John Misty dabbles in writing for pop stars from time to time.
