On the face of it, this feels committee-designed for the youngs, with songs called Young, Dumb & Broke // American Teen // 8Teen, all full of autotune and generalized details, all ready for kids to sing along to at some 3rd-tier televised New Years Eve performance.
And yet, there's these flashes that Khalid's telling a story that's his: an actual story of being a teenager. I buy it, mostly. What seems tacky per-song kind of comes together in the back sections, a reminder that music as product and music as personal aren't mutually exclusive 3.5/5
