R&B newcomer Khalid gets a strong assist from rap veteran Lil Wayne and rising songstress Kehlani for the remix of his breakout record, “Location.”
Weezy gets the party started by spitting infectious and naughty lyrics over the smooth production. The song then transitions to Khalid’s original verse before Kehlani turns up the heat by dropping some hater-proof relationship knowledge. They can choose to watch, but I’d rather they just listen / Could fill up an album with everything that they’re missing / They so superficial, don’t understand how we’re chillin’ / We don’t need a lot, we got us, and that’s why we’re winnin’,” she sings.
The original version of “Location” appears on Khalid’s debut album, American Teen, which debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Location (Remix)” by Khalid featuring Kehlani and Lil Wayne is a refreshing reimagination of Khalid’s hit single, adding new layers of artistry through Kehlani’s soulful vocals and Lil Wayne’s distinctive rap flow. The song retains the original’s laid-back vibe, characterized by its smooth, minimalist production, but the remix introduces fresh energy and a slightly edgier feel.
Khalid’s rich, soulful voice sets the stage, drawing the listener into a contemplative space with lyrics that explore themes of communication and emotional connection. Kehlani adds her unique touch with a beautifully melodic verse that complements Khalid’s tone, her voice resonating with warmth and emotion. Together, they create a harmonious interplay that heightens the song’s themes of longing and intimacy.
Lil Wayne’s verse brings a playful contrast, infusing the remix with his signature wordplay and swagger. His lines add a touch of bravado while maintaining the song’s smooth flow. The production remains relatively sparse, emphasizing the vocals and allowing each artist to shine without overwhelming the listener.
“Location (Remix)” strikes a perfect balance between smooth R&B and contemporary hip-hop, making it a track that resonates with a wide audience. It’s ideal for late-night drives or relaxed gatherings, providing a soulful and engaging experience that feels both familiar and fresh. This remix adds new dimensions to Khalid’s original hit while retaining the soulful essence that made “Location” a standout.
