KIND VILLAIN, founded by award-winning artist and performer Ev V Frederick, has released the official music video for their cover of the KHALID track “8TEEN,” from the R&B / Pop artist’s 2017 LP, American Teen. The track was produced and mixed by Paul Trust (Morgan Wallen / Starset) and features the band performing at a local arcade where some of the band played games as kids.

Ev states, “Being a huge Khalid fan, ‘8TEEN’ to me is a fun, insightful song about the joys of being young. I wonder if Khalid had ever imagined this song being a next-generation pop-rock anthem. I hope you enjoy Kind Villain’s interpretation of Khalid’s 8TEEN.”
