Hear Givēon's deep baritone turn breakups beautiful with strings and horns

Givēon peddles a particular kind of devastation as a singer. What many call velvet smooth heartbreak, wrapped in a deep baritone that could make a breakup sound almost beautiful. The seven-time Grammy-nominated R&B singer has announced his first ever Thai concert. It's part of his Dear Beloved Tour, named after his second studio album Beloved, which dropped last July to critical praise and reached number eight on the Billboard 200. The new album continues mining that same vein with tracks like 'Twenties' and 'Rather Be' exploring the peculiar pain of wasted time and hindsight regret. Givēon told Rolling Stone that Beloved 'was made live, so it's made to be performed live'. He's bringing strings, horns, background vocals and a full eight to 10 piece band to create what he describes as a 'movie-like world' on stage.
