American R&B singer and songwriter Giveon recently released his second studio album, Beloved.
"BELOVED is a complete encapsulation of the very transformative growth I experienced over the past 3 years. My trials and tribulations, the good and the bad, all helped form this album. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating" Giveon says of his new album, his first full-length project since 2022's Give or Take.
Prior to its release, Rolling Stone awarded Beloved with its rare and coveted "4-star" rating, noting its commitment to "orchestral" R&B.
"Rich and authentic, Beloved feels indebted to Al Green, Philly soul, the Jackson 5 and Blaxploitation soundtracks," Rolling Stone said.
The sophomore album is available via Epic Records. The album, led by "Twenties" and "Rather Be," is a 14-track opus featuring a stable of producers that includes Jahaan Sweet and Sevn Thomas. The latter executive-produced the album.
"Twenties," the album's lead single, earned its reputation as flagbearer, netting Giveon his fourth chart hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Another song, "Rather Be," was named to Esquire's "Best Songs of 2025" list and noted as a "Song You Need to Know" by Rolling Stone. The recent collaboration with Teddy Swims, "Are U Even Real?," was nominated for a Best Collaboration BET Award and continues to rise up the Hot 100.
The seven-time Grammy-nominee and R&B icon also shared a new single from the album, "I Can Tell" and its video.
