Over a year after Giveon saw his name printed in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 with his inaugural compilation album ‘When It’s All Said and Done…Take Time,’ the rising R&B star is looking to do it a second time via his long-awaited debut album, ‘Give or Take.’

Arriving on digital shelves Friday (June 24) courtesy of Epic Records, the 15-track project includes the previously released singles ‘For Tonight’ and ‘Lie Again’ – both of which hit the Billboard R&B chart’s top 20 (with ‘Tonight’ peaking highest at #6).

“The whole concept of the album is me having a conversation with my mom, and we’re just catching up,” he said of ‘Give or Take.’ “That’s why the stories kind of feel like a roller coaster and not just one smooth story—because it was more sporadic.  I really wanted to give people a look behind the curtains of a 26-year-old man growing up today.”
