Giveon returns with the soulful ballad “Lie Again,” the second offering from his highly anticipated debut album. The Long Beach singer’s first new song of 2022 was produced by Don Mills (J. Cole, Juice WRLD, Alessia Cara. “Lie Again” is accompanied by a music video directed by Adrian Martinez and released by Not So Fast/Epic Records.
A slow-burning ballad, “Lie Again” showcases Giveon’s masterful vocal control and emotional storytelling. In this song, he sings directly to his lover, pleading that they lie to him so he doesn’t have to think about the harsh reality. “Don’t tell me baby, I’ve heard enough,” he sighs over dreamy guitars. “I told you I don’t want the truth.” It’s the kind of raw, relatable sentiment that made 2020’s “Heartbreak Anniversary” a 3x Platinum hit.
“‘Lie Again’ is a story about the internal war with oneself, battling the acceptance of the ugly-truth, and the refusal to embrace the ghosts of your lover’s past,” Giveon says of his new song. “Detailing the complexities of overlooking red flags to remain blissfully ignorant in the name of love.”
Last September, he shared “For Tonight,” the lead single of his forthcoming debut LP which is now RIAA certified Gold.
The R&B crooner also recently announced his forthcoming From the Five Six Two European tour dates starting in Amsterdam on May 31st. With “For Tonight” and “Lie Again” Giveon offers another tantalizing taste of those shows and his debut album, further cementing his status as one of modern R&B’s great storytellers.
