Giveon official bio:
Anyone can be an artist, but very few can be remarkable. For Giveon -a rising music artist who has a brilliant gift of capturing moods into songs like no other- his biggest fear is being like everyone else. Though he shouldn’t be concerned. From his captivating baritone voice to his pensive lyrics and colorful soundscape, Giveon defies not only musical standards, but expectations on how he should be as an artist and a man, as well. “I want them to take away originality and I want to them say ‘ok, this is something different, this is not like what we know,’” he said.
Though he always had an affinity for music, Giveon said he fell in love with the art of songwriting before he did with singing. As a child, he would write short stories, just to write, and as he got older, he switched over to poems, because he didn’t think anyone would want to read a long story. Eventually that led to rap, but everyone was doing that and Giveon wasn’t like the rest. It wasn’t until he discovered that his baritone voice wasn’t as awkward or ugly as he thought -because after all Frank Sinatra was one- that everything came together for him.

Adorn lyrics:
These lips, can't wait to taste your skin, baby
And these eyes, I can't wait to see your grin, (ooh ooh baby)
Just let my love
Just let my love adorn you (please baby)
And you gotta know, you gotta know
You know that I adore you (yeah baby)
Baby these fists, will always protect ya, lady
And this mind, will never neglect you, (yeah baby)
And if they try to break us down
Don't let that affect us, no baby
You just gotta let my love
Let my love, let my love adorn you
Ahh, le-le-le-let it dress you down
You gotta know, you gotta know
Know that I adore you
Just that, baby
Oh, let my love adorn you, baby
Don't you ever, don't you let nobody tell you different, baby
I'll always adore you, you gotta know now
You gotta know na-nah-now, yeah
Oh yeah
The same way that the stars adorn the skies, yeah
(Every night babe)
Now look up sugar (Every night babe)
Now hey hey hey
The same way that my whole world's in your eyes (when I look in your eyes babe)
Oooh and it's time now (It's time babe)
Just let, let my love (do you baby!)
Hey, le-le-le-let it dress you down
You got to know baby, oh you got to know
That I adorn you, yeah
Oh love ain't never looked so good on ya
Oh, put it on, baby
Let my love adorn... You
