The Grammy-nominated baritone celebrates his breakthrough EP anniversary in Italian luxury
By Music Editorial Staff
On March 27th, GIVĒON marked a major career milestone at the intimate setting of Los Angeles’ The Living Room, dressed in a sleek, statement-making look from Prada’s Fall-Winter 2025 Menswear Collection. The event celebrated the fifth anniversary of his breakthrough EP Take Time, the eight-track project that introduced the world to the melancholic baritone of the Long Beach native and set the stage for his continued rise in R&B.
GIVĒON’s choice to wear Prada at this significant moment underscores his thoughtful evolution as an artist. Much like Take Time, which featured chart-topping hits like "Like I Want You" and "Heartbreak Anniversary" (certified 3x and 6x platinum, respectively), his sartorial selection reflects an artist stepping into a new creative chapter. The clean lines and refined textures of Prada’s Fall-Winter 2025 collection mirror his growth from a promising newcomer to a polished and professional figure in both music and fashion.
The event was attended by notable industry figures, including Epic Records Chairwoman/CEO Sylvia Rhone, President Ezekiel Lewis, and General Manager Rick Sackheim. Grammy-winning producer Jimmy Jam, R&B singer Amerie, and actress/producer Lena Waithe were also in attendance, joining GIVĒON in a celebration that not only honored his past success but also looked forward to his exciting future.
His latest hit, “Twenties,” which recently peaked at No. 6 on Hot R&B Songs, exemplifies his artistic growth. As he works on his highly anticipated sophomore album, GIVĒON’s self-awareness and professionalism shine through in both his music and fashion choices.
"I feel a lot more aware when it comes to my process and what I need to do to grow at all times," GIVĒON shared with Billboard. "I'll also say I'm more polished, more professional; I just understand things more. And I'm a lot more decisive."
As GIVĒON continues to solidify his place in music, his Prada moment at The Living Room serves as both a celebration of past achievements and a stylish declaration of his future ambitions. Just as Prada’s Fall-Winter 2025 collection exudes confidence and precision, GIVĒON’s career is poised to continue its upward trajectory, marked by emotional depth and refined expression, both on stage and on the red carpet.
