“With my music, I’m obsessed with the overall concept,” says Giveon Evans. "SUCCESS is being able to stay AUTHENTIC to YOURSELF in the MIDST of all of THIS." Among them: Teddy Pendergrass’s slow-burning heartbreak ballad, “Love T.K.O.,” and Deniece Williams’s soft and mellow 1976 chart-topper “Free,” an anthem of personal liberation. “My mom would play that when she was in a good mood,” says Evans of the latter track. “I associate it with warm, positive energy; everything about that song is beautiful.”Listen to Givēon's playlist exclusively on Apple Music.
