GIVĒON - Give or Take ALBUM REVIEW
I’d take this entire project, to be honest.
Right from the start of hearing GIVĒON, I knew that he’d be a star. Like most of us, we heard him for the first time on Drake’s quarantine project Dark Lane Demo Tapes, and he honestly floored me right off the bat. After that, it was having a small part (and the best part) on Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” and that finally convinced me to check out his other projects. His When It's All Said and Done...Take Time compilation, which combines his two already-released EPs, is honestly fantastic, and ever since then, I’ve been excited for whatever he did next. Give or Take is the debut album, so let’s not waste any time and get into it.
The biggest draw to GIVĒON for me is his voice, which is just as great as ever. Underneath that, though, is a genuine maturity that really wasn’t found in his past projects. The toxicity is mostly gone here too, with that being replaced by the way of making things right in the relationship. I don’t know what this says about me as a person, but I much prefer this kind of lyrics over the toxicity. Most of all, it all seems very authentic and genuinely heartbreaking at times. Overall, Give or Take is a fantastic debut album. GIVĒON continues to grow not only as an artist but as a person.
