Grammy-nominated Givēon Shares New Song “For Tonight”
Thanks to his massive success on TikTok
and other video-sharing platforms, Givēon
has established himself as one of the biggest R&B acts in recent years,
reaching the summit of the Spotify Philippines Top 50 and Viral 50 charts,
respectively with the inescapable jam “Heartbreak Anniversary” and peaking at
No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the Justin Bieber-headlined “Peaches,”
featuring Daniel Caesar. The former also went No. 1 on all fronts, from digital
sales to mainstream radio charts in Metro Manila and beyond, and conquered the
media landscape from noontime shows to online dance challenges.
This year, the promising newcomer returns
with another heartfelt tune called “For
Tonight,”
which serves as the first single off his highly anticipated album to be
released later this year. The fascinating slow jam is produced by Seven Thomas (Drake, Rihanna, Travis Scott), Jahaan Sweet (Eminem,
Kehlani) and Akeel Henry (WizKid, SwaeLee).
Accompanied by a music video
directed by Academy Award nominated filmmaker, Sophia Nahli Allison, Givēon’s
new song delivers emotive and soulful infectiousness that showcases his smooth
vocal styling against a stripped-down instrumentation.
When asked about his new
release Givēon says, “This is the story of a taboo vice that I just can’t seem
to stop indulging in.”
A few week ago, Givēon
announced his “Timeless Tour.” The 14-city tour went on sale September 17thand
sold out in a matter of minutes. The tour will kick off on November 28th in
Detroit, MI. He also attended the MET Gala for the first time with Maison
Valentino, after snagging a VMA for Best Pop for “Peaches” with Justin Bieber
ft. Daniel Ceasar, which is riding its 30th week on the Billboard Hot 100 list.
His other hit “Heartbreak Anniversary”
ended up topping at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 list and
stayed on the list for an impressive 29 weeks. In addition to “In The Bible” by
Drake ft. Givēon & Lil Durk that has reached number seven on the list.
