GIVĒON releases BELOVED: ACT II deluxe

GIVĒON released “BELOVED: ACT II” on May 15, extending his 2025 album “BELOVED” into a 19-track deluxe project, according to his official site and major streaming platforms. The release adds five songs to the original 14-track album and arrives with new guest appearances from Kehlani, Leon Thomas, Sasha Keable and Teddy Swims. His official store describes the set as the “definitive evolution” of the earlier album, while Apple Music lists the expanded version at 19 songs and 57 minutes. Social posts over the weekend pointed fans to the release, but official platform listings show the album date as May 15, not May 18. ### When did the deluxe actually come out? Apple Music lists “BELOVED: ACT II” with a May 15, 2026 release date, and Spotify’s pre-release and current album pages match that timing. GIVĒON’s official store also gives May 15 as the release date for the CD edition. X posts that circulated on May 18 appear to have amplified the release after it was already available. (giveonofficial.com) The official site currently promotes the project with the line “Deluxe Album Out Now ‘Beloved Act II.’” ### What changed from the original “BELOVED” album? Spotify lists the original “BELOVED” as a 14-track album released in 2025, while the deluxe “BELOVED: ACT II” is listed as a 19-track album in 2026. (music.apple.com) GIVĒON’s store says the expanded edition adds five bonus songs. Rated R&B reported that the added songs include “Jezebel,” “Save Some For Me,” “Fool Me Once,” “Replica” and “Keeper,” with the new material featuring Kehlani, Leon Thomas, Sasha Keable and Teddy Swims. (giveonofficial.com) The official store track list also shows those additions. ### Which collaborators appear on the new version? Rated R&B said the deluxe includes Kehlani on “Save Some For Me,” Leon Thomas on “Fool Me Once,” Sasha Keable on “Replica” and Teddy Swims on “Keeper.” Apple Music’s album page also shows Teddy Swims attached to “Keeper.” (open.spotify.com) The guest list broadens a project that Apple Music frames as part of GIVĒON’s continued work in a style drawing from classic soul while remaining contemporary. (ratedrnb.com) Apple Music attributes that characterization to GIVĒON’s interview with Zane Lowe on the platform. ### Where can listeners find it now? GIVĒON’s official site links listeners to the album and sells vinyl and CD editions, including direct-to-consumer variants with signed inserts. (ratedrnb.com) The vinyl is listed at $34.98 for one exclusive edition and $32.98 for a standard version, while the CD is listed at $13.98 on the site. Apple Music and Spotify both carry the full 19-track album.
