Khalid has performed a killer stripped back version of ‘Shot Down’ from his debut album ‘American Teen’ for COLORS BERLIN, and it’s full of soul and strangely soothing, as most of Khalid’s music is. If it wasn’t already evident, all Khalid really requires to create beautiful grooves is a microphone and his voice, the simplicity of this COLORS performance showcasing just how skilled a vocalist he is.
