Review
"When It's All Said And Done... Take Time" is GIVĒON’s gorgeous love letter to every complicated late-night heartbeat. Seamlessly weaving together the stories and sounds from his two earlier EPs, with the deeply yearning "All to Me" as a new chapter, the album aches with questions, hope, loss, and yearning. His unmistakable baritone feels like a hand on your back in the dark—steady, real, and achingly sincere. Across thirteen tracks, he peels back every layer of his heart, letting us sift through the wreckage and beauty of human connection.
It’s impossible not to get swept up in the softness of his delivery and the atmosphere so lush, you want to wrap yourself in it. The understated production leaves plenty of room for longing—moments pause and ache, while the lyrics linger with honesty and longing. The short runtime only makes each confession feel more precious—there’s nothing wasted here, just a quiet parade of soul-bearing moments that make romance and heartbreak sound both timeless and painfully present. With this release, GIVĒON truly carves out his place among today's most heartfelt storytellers. - Liza
