The conversations among folks walking out of Skyla Credit Union Amphitheatre on Saturday following Giveon’s show were focused on one thing; is that the loudest we’d ever heard Skyla?
The R&B singer from Long Beach, California, performed for a sold-out crowd during the season-ending concert at the Music Factory amphitheater, but it sounded like every … single …. person in attendance was singing along to every … single … lyric. That crowd was THAT LOUD.
On tour in support of his second studio album, Beloved, Giveon hit the stage bundled up in a big fur coat while smoothly crooning away and showcasing his baritone vocals.
His old-school vibes were supported by a set and backing band that made folks in the crowd feel more like they were in a lounge than doing their best to stay warm on a chilly fall night.
He might have hit the radar with his collabs, first Drake’s “Chicago Freestyle” in 2020 followed by Justin Bieber’s “Peaches” the next year but Giveon’s star is shining brightly on its own now.
As the Skyla season comes to a close, Giveon’s tour is also wrapping up now with two big concerts left: Fenway Park in Boston on Tuesday and NYC’s Madison Square Garden on Thursday.
