More emblematic are the two other pre-album singles that didn't fare as well: "Shining," featuring Beyoncé and her husband ("21 Grammys - I'm a savage"), is energized but only adequate, while "To the Max" is a scampering platform for Drake in half-hearted woeful braggart mode.
Due to the plinking "I'm the One," led by Justin Bieber, and "Wild Thoughts," a Rihanna-fronted update of Santana's "Maria Maria" (itself partially a flagrant Timbaland rehash), the album had major hits before it arrived. By late-2010s' Khaled standard, Grateful is typically overstuffed.
On the "Sesame Street visits a black church" number "I Love You So Much," Khaled and Chance the Rapper exalt their kids, with the former in endearingly effusive overdrive, beaming "You're an icon, you're a legend" and, motivated perhaps by witnessing Asahd devour some strained carrots, "the greatest that ever did it." That and the album's concluding moment of touching thanks are among the most family-friendly tracks in the Khaled discography, which swells here with 21 additional selections of mostly celebratory bluster. Bestowed with an executive production credit, Asahd is present in more than a visual sense. The artist has also made various guest appearances on songs by the likes of Pink, Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Kane Brown and J Balvin.Grateful is distinguishable from the nine previous DJ Khaled albums by its cover alone - a regal portrait of platinum fraternal shepherd, self-hype man, and producer Khaled beside son Asahd and a young tiger. It will be the follow-up to Khalid’s 2019 sophomore LP ‘Free Spirit’ and 2017 studio debut ‘American Teen’, featuring hit single ‘Young Dumb & Broke’.
