Giveon - Beloved (2025)


BELOVED unfolds as Giveon’s most immersive and emotionally transparent album yet. It revisits the lush, live‑instrumentation style of 1970s soul, integrating sweeping strings, warm brass, and analog textures across 14 tracks. His baritone voice—now matured—carries heartbreak, introspection, and resilience in equal measure, as seen in opener “MUD” and standout “Rather Be.” The themes center on love’s aftermath: regret (“Twenties”), healing, and cautious optimism. Production blends vintage richness with modern intimacy, making each confession feel timeless. At just under 40 minutes, the album is concise yet profound, avoiding filler and leaving listeners wanting more. Critics hail it as a watershed moment, cementing Giveon’s place as a defining voice in modern soul.

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel.
