Multi-platinum, seven-time GRAMMY-nominated R&B sensation GIVEON has officially announced the title of his sophomore studio album, "BELOVED," slated for release on July 11th. The project, executive produced by Sevn Thomas, marks the end of a multi-year hiatus since his acclaimed 2022 debut, Give or Take.
"BELOVED" is spearheaded by the chart-climbing lead single, "Twenties," which propelled GIVEON back into the spotlight earlier this year. The cathartic ballad swiftly became his fourth Billboard Hot 100 hit, impressively landing in the Top 10 of the Hot R&B Songs Chart and generating over 13 million YouTube views. Its success was followed by the sleek R&B anthem, "Rather Be," released just this month, further building anticipation for the album.
The production on "BELOVED" features a stellar lineup including Matthew Burnett, Jahaan Sweet, Gitty, Sevn Thomas, and Maneesh, promising a rich and dynamic soundscape for GIVEON's signature baritone.
GIVEON's return comes after a groundbreaking period from 2020 to 2021, where he solidified his R&B superstardom with projects like When It’s All Said and Done… Take Time and Give or Take. During this time, he delivered smash hits such as the 3x-platinum "Like I Want You" and the 6x-platinum "Heartbreak Anniversary," captivating audiences with his distinct vocal delivery. His collaborative spirit also shone through with tracks like "Last Heartbreak Song" with Arya Beats and "Are U Even Real" with Teddy Swims, the latter earning a 2025 BET Awards nomination for 'Best Collaboration' and hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay Charts.
With "BELOVED" on the horizon, fans can pre-order the album now, eagerly awaiting what promises to be another explosive and pure R&B performance from one of the genre's most compelling voices.
