 Giveon has released his highly anticipated album, “Give or Take,” Friday, June 24, and his voice is as smooth and soulful as ever. The track “Let Me Go,” has a prelude from his mother talking about how proud she is of her son and that she’s so proud she feels sick and it feels like a dream. The track is mid-tempo and talks about him having a lady that he wants to be with, but he does not feel she is ready to love him and if he’s worth his time. He is telling her to love him or let him go. On the outro of the song, his mother tells him that people will not always agree with each other and to remember that.

The track “Scarred,” is a song about being broken and scared to be in love. Giveon says, “My last love was cold, So now I gotta be the coldest.” You can hear the pain in his voice, which makes the song really put at the heartstrings.

“This Will Do,” is a very intimate song, where Giveon goes even deeper about love and how it’s hard to commit. “Far from love and know it’s because I Sing what I been through on these instrumentals.”

In the song, Giveon talks about meeting a lady after one of his shows. He knows it is not love, but he says it will do because he’s not quite ready yet to get too serious. Everyone in the universe has more than likely felt this way at some point. The music is slow, mellow, and sexy at the same time.

“Lost Me,” gives summer vibes and Giveon said he is not looking “for the one,” and right now is just having fun. The R&B superstar says kissing is fine, “but if you’re looking for love, that’s where you lost me.” The song has a nice beat and is more on the upbeat side.

Overall, this album is a very intimate piece of work. The beats are captivating and along with Giveon’s voice, you won’t skip a track.

Toronto native and Somali artist Idman released a new song, “Look At What I’m Doing To You,” from her upcoming EP, “Risk.” The track is upbeat and combines pop, dance music, and R&B.
