We hopped aboard the Khalid bandwagon with the release of his impressive debut American Teen, and since then, the young R&B singer-songwriter has popped up everywhere from Lorde remixes to record-breaking phone number songs. And today, he’s popped up on SoundCloud, where he uploaded a rough draft of an introspective acoustic song called “Perfect.” Marvel at the beautiful contradiction that is a track entitled “Perfect (Rough Draft)” and listen to the beautiful track itself below.
