The Grammy-nominated singer, 26, released his third studio album "Sincere" in August.

Khalid's music is primarily R&B, pop, hip hop, and pop-soul. He sings in both the baritone and tenor ranges, effectively rendering him a baritenor. Khalid possesses a two and a half octave vocal range, ranging from the low F2 to the middle B♭4. Khalid cites his mother as his leading musical inspiration and has cited Zayn Malik, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Father John Misty, Frank Ocean, Grizzly Bear, Chance the Rapper, Lorde, India Arie, and James Blake as other influences.

In February 2019, Khalid released the single "Talk", and he made his debut on Saturday Night Live on March 9, 2019, performing "Talk" and "Better". His second studio album Free Spirit was released on April 5, 2019, along with an accompanying short film. It debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with 202,000 album-equivalent units (including 85,000 pure album sales) in its first week, becoming Khalid's first US number-one album.

On April 20, 2019, Khalid made history by becoming the first and only artist to occupy the entire top 5 of the Billboard R&B Songs chart.

On April 25, 2019, Billboard magazine reported that since March 2018, Khalid had landed a 59-week straight streak of hits (and counting) on the Hot 100 since his Normani collaboration "Love Lies" debuted on the chart. He charted 12 tracks (both solo hits and features) on the Hot 100 throughout the last year.

Khalid and Hugo D. Almonte. The singer and rapper were an item until they had a bitter fallout.

To promote the album, Khalid embarked on his fourth concert tour titled the Free Spirit World Tour which will visit North America, Europe and Oceania on May 18, 2019, which is set to conclude on December 5, 2019.

Following the release of Free Spirit, Khalid was reported to have become the biggest global artist on Spotify, hitting 50.4 million monthly listeners on the streaming platform, and subsequently surpassing Ariana Grande. In October 2019, Khalid and Major Lazer released a single titled "Trigger" which was also featured on Death Stranding's soundtrack.

Hugo D. Almonte, also known as Hugo Almonte, shared tweets implying he had intimate knowledge of various artists, including Khalid. One tweet suggested Khalid had attempted to set Almonte up by alleging he broke and entered Khalid's residence. This incendiary claim triggered Khalid’s subsequent confession. Responding to the situation, Khalid emphasized not ever having hidden his identity, explaining, "I wasn’t hiding anything! It’s just not any of your business."

Almonte’s decision to unearth details about their past relationship was defended by him as stemming from years of alleged emotional abuse, manipulation, and lies, culminating in his breakdown. "I tried to move on, but the constant lies, manipulation, and threats took a toll on my mental health. I was exhausted, emotionally drained," he described, illustrating the troubled relationship dynamics between him and Khalid.
