“Thank you for tuning in to Scenic Drive/ We’re here tonight to provide the vibes/ So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride,” she says with her effortlessly smooth voice that undoubtedly opened doors in the early 2000’s for artists like Khalid to dominate the airwaves. It blends some of Khalid’s most well-known songs, “Location” and “Talk” and “Better,” before settling on Alicia Keys who formally introduces the mixtape. The opening track, simply titled “Intro” features a tape searching for a clear track. On his first mixtape Scenic Drive: The Tape, released last month, he continues using his voice to collaborate with a variety of established R&B acts creating a short but polished collection of songs. He’s gone from a newcomer to collaborating with the likes of Billie Eilish and Calvin Harris to even being picked by Mariah Carey to write and sing on her 2021 holiday single “Fall in Love at Christmas.” His sound has continued to resonate, and his voice is now synonymous with what feels like a dozen or so hits throughout the last five years. When Khalid broke onto the music scene in 2017 with his debut single “Location” we were entranced by the way his smooth vocals slid along seamlessly with the pop and R&B blended beats.
