Watch Khalid Narrowly Avoid A Multi-Car Collision In New 'Better' Video

"Love to be able to see you shine in the night, like the diamond you are." So starts Khalid's smooth single "Better," and also its accompanying video, which centers around the R&B crooner holding a late-night dance party in a vacant parking lot — while also casually dodging a multi-car collision.


Against a backdrop of downtown L.A., Khalid shows off some swaggering moves while a vintage BMW sails around him. Because the song builds, the lot becomes overrun with a fleet of multi-colored cruisers, which whip around Khalid's every move at high speed, like so:


It's a nail-biter of a scene, however he somehow appears completely unfazed — maybe it has something to do with the girl he's singing about, who appears by means of the haunting, hazy images. In any case, the fastness and furiousness certainly adds a flair of ~danger~ to an otherwise trustworthy visual.


This has been an efficient week for Khalid, who also appeared in the video for Shawn Mendes's empowering "Youth." The 20-year-old is fresh off the release of a 7-track EP, Suncity, which marks his first project since last year's debut album, American Teen. Upon its release, he mentioned the EP is ushering in the "start of a new era," which is sounding mighty fine so far.
