Congratulations on receiving your first BET Award for Best New Artist 💜 You go, Giveon! 🥳
he seems so genuine
Were they writing Frank Ocean at 1:46 ?😮
"my cousin just got laid off because of corona virus"
loved him since Garden Kisses came out
Thank goodness he’s blowing up 😩💕
15:12 🐐
he’s really a great.
Here after peaches. He’s still going up!
I’m 8!!!
honestly think Giveon is going to make music actually good and meaningful … most mainstream music now focuses way too much on typical lyricis, way less on musicality and a lot more on beats and trends.
giveon has shown hes a story teller, a singer and conveys a hell of a lot of emotion and empathy in his music. all while adding instrumentation and simple rhythms to his music. I hope others follow his wave because itll lead to really good music producing. there are a select other artist in the rnb genre doing great music like H.E.r. SZA Daniel caeser Frank Ocean types. but the last time i actually felt the music industry was good was around the time Lauryn Hills album dropped miseducation. around that time people were making decent rnb but it was diluting out after tht
but yeah hope things shift with Giveon i think he holds a lot of potential to shift the paradigm in the music industry and im rooting for him
When he was talking about going into different mediums toward the end of this video, I felt that. I have so much respect for daft punk that when they did film things I was like, damn that’s gonna be bomb
He is so talented!
"Aii little homie do that dance for me"
3:52 I swear that’s how it was for me 😭 n now he my favorite singer
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the interviewer letting his guest talk instead of just over talking them👏🏾
u67 fits his 10x better than the sony 100g
🌟🌟🌟
Giveon is special 💎
I am so obsessed with his music. He’s super special and unique.
So in love with your voice 🙌🏾
Very good interviewer
Discovering Giveon has been the best thing that’s happened to me during this pandemic 🙏🏽
