Give or Take, Givēon’s eagerly-awaited debut album, has finally been released!
The 15-track album, which clocks in at 45 minutes, is feature-free as the musician explained to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that the record is “so personal that there can’t be another voice besides me and my mom because that’s the conversation that was had.” On Give or Take, he revealed that he tried to achieve timelessness.
“When’s the last time we heard a story from the perspective of, I’ll say, a 25 to 27 year old man really just telling his story. Then on top of all of that, you add all this new found attention. I can’t remember the last time I heard that.” He added, “That’s the timelessness I aim for. I want to know, once I know that I could just drop a project off in any decade and it could grow and flourish, that’s why I also have the confidence to take my time.”
As expected, Givēon fans were looking forward to enjoying the just published body of work with great anticipation and open arms. Here are some of the responses from the singer’s followers who spent the entire night waiting to hear the album when it was released:
