Artist of the week: GIVĒON
Vinyl Vibes: GIVĒON – Beloved (Out July 11 2025)
GIVĒON returns with his sophomore album, Beloved, set to drop July 11. Crafted over more than a thousand days, this project follows his 2022 debut, Give or Take, which introduced us to his captivating baritone and emotionally raw storytelling.
What YaraGlow Members Should Know 🎵
• Evolution of Sound
Beloved shows GIVĒON leaning deeper into expressive R&B and neo-soul territory. The two lead singles “Twenties” and “Rather Be” already hint at a richer, more textured palette built around emotional depth.
• Lyrical & Emotional Growth
The album promises introspection on growth, both romantic and personal. After years of navigating love and loss, GIVĒON channels that maturity into thoughtful lyrics that resonate deeply, especially with listeners who’ve grown alongside him.
• Performance & Production
With executive production from Sevn Thomas and collaborators like Jahaan Sweet and Matthew Burnett, Beloved offers lush, cinematic production to match his warm, immersive vocals.
Why You Should Listen on Spotify (or Better Yet, Vinyl!)
1. Experience GIVĒON’s full emotional arc: The album is meant to be savoured from start to finish; on Spotify, you get full track sequencing and editorial features, ideal for deep-dive listening.
