Scenic Drive is the first mixtape by American singer Khalid, released on December 3, 2021, by RCA Records.[2] Originally planned to release as an extended play, Khalid tweeted shortly after announcing Scenic Drive that "this is no longer an EP, it's way more special to me".[3]

## Singles

[edit]

The lead single from the mixtape, "Present" was released on October 22, 2021.[4]

## Critical reception

[edit]

A.D. Amorosi of Variety called it "a pulsating, minor marvel of economical soul-hop that satisfies all that Khalid fanatics have come to crave - that high dozy warble, those out-of-the-blue hooks - while pushing his new-found exigency (and lower range) into the future."[5]
