Khazali - Did It For Love (Single)

Fast-rising pop luminary Khazali is back with his second single of 2023, the uplifting ‘Did It For Love’ out on 23rd August.

A melodic synth pop treat, ‘Did It For Love’ is the second single from Khazali’s upcoming EP Born For This out on 13th September, which sees the thought-provoking artist dealing with themes of love and loss. “I did it for love”, he repeats on the incessantly catchy chorus with an infectious party groove and dreamy ascending chords.

Continuing a hot streak for the rising star, ‘Did It For Love’ follows previous single ‘Magic’, which garnered praise for its heartfelt lyricism and masterful production from XL Records mainstay Joe Brown.

With a knack for catchy, earworm-like melodies, Khazali has created a brand of pop that spans melancholy, euphoria and dreaminess, not unlike the instantly relatable sounds of Arlo Parks, Dua Lipa and Alfie Templeman, with an indie edge reminiscent of The xx and Metronomy. His music has received press support from the likes of CLASH, The Line of Best Fit, Equate Magazine and Notion.

Now with his upcoming EP Born For This, Khazali is set to deliver a captivating fusion of classic pop for the modern era, drawing inspiration from his teenage record-sleeve collection of iconic records like The Fame by Lady Gaga, In the Lonely Hour by Sam Smith, Lungs by Florence + the Machine, and Jungle's self-titled debut album.

Offering another glimpse of Born For This before its release on 13th September, this fast-rising artist shows off his knack for euphoric synth pop on ‘Did It For Love’.
