Beloved: Act II
Giveon
Beloved: Act II is the deluxe edition of Giveon's second studio album Beloved, released on May 15, 2026 through Epic Records and his own Not So Fast imprint. The original Beloved had arrived on July 11, 2025 — a 14-track project that debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album, cementing the Long Beach singer's reputation as one of contemporary R&B's most distinctive voices. Apple Music described the original as "a love letter to R&B that has the timeless feel of '70s soul sides while possessing a distinctly 21st-century sensibility," with much of the album's groove emerging from loose, jam-based studio sessions. Giveon announced the Act II expansion on April 10, 2026, and the deluxe edition brings the full project to 19 tracks across 57 minutes.
The five new additions that constitute Act II open with "Jezebel," a funk-laden, mood-boosting solo track, before shifting into a series of high-profile collaborations. Giveon is joined by Kehlani on the atmospheric "Save Some for Me," Leon Thomas on the more punchy and upbeat "Fool Me Once," British singer Sasha Keable on "Replica," and Teddy Swims on a second version of "Keeper." Ratings Game Music noted that all five additions fit naturally into the project's established direction, with Giveon staying true to his hallmarks — rich baritone vocals, direct songwriting, and mature themes of love, heartbreak, and emotional complexity — while the guest features add welcome variety in texture and energy without disrupting the album's cohesive tone.
