I Forgive You is the second studio album by British singer-songwriter Cynthia Erivo. It was released on 6 June 2025, through Verve and Republic Records. Developed over two years in collaboration with songwriter and producer Will Wells, the album features various genres, such as pop, R&B, Brit pop, folk, and gospel. Recorded during breaks from filming Wicked (2024), Erivo described it as a collection of stories about forgiveness—both of others and herself—and journeys through love, heartbreak, and renewal.
Critically, I Forgive You has been praised for its thoughtful production, emotional honesty, and sophisticated exploration of themes rarely foregrounded for Black women in music, including sensuality and identity. Reviews highlighted Erivo's restrained vocal delivery and the album's blend of genres. Though noted for its ambitious length, the album's nuanced songwriting and raw expression have earned it acclaim as a significant artistic statement.
