Troye Sivan, the Australian pop sensation, has always ridden the wave of evolving music trends, making sure he brings his unique spin to the scene. His latest album, “Something To Give Each Other,” stands as a true sentiment to his commitment to both innovation and authenticity.
What We Know About the New Album
In a music scene replete with quick beats and fleeting fame, Troye Sivan has consistently carved a niche for himself. His authenticity, both in sound and visual representation, has always set him apart. Today marks the launch of his latest project – the album “Something To Give Each Other.” Comprising 10 meticulously crafted tracks, and the fans eagerly await its debut on streaming services tonight.
The initial single, “Rush,” set the bar high for the entire album. Its infectious tempo reminiscent of Spiller’s Groovejet and the unabashedly daring music video were nothing short of sensational. “Rush” paved the way for equally catchy numbers like “Got Me Started” and the eagerly awaited “One of Your Girls” is set up as the 3rd single from the album.
Yet, fans of Troye know his journey wasn’t always smooth. His 2018 album “Bloom” received mixed reviews, with many feeling that the magic of his debut, “Blue Neighbourhood,” was missing. However, “Something To Give Each Other” sees Troye striking the right balance, merging the audacity of “Bloom” with the subtlety that made his debut a hit.
One notable thing about Troye’s singing style is how it defies conventional pop norms. He doesn’t necessarily rely on power; instead, he leverages the conversational quality in his voice, making songs like “One of Your Girls” and “Silly” relatable and intimate. The production quality of the album is also worth mentioning. Ian Kirkpatrick, the brains behind some of Dua Lipa’s hits, has sprinkled Easter eggs throughout the mix, creating a rich tapestry of sounds that both surprise and delight. This album’s musical detailing is reminiscent of Billie Eilish’s tracks, imbuing them with an intimate yet polished feel.
With songs touching upon heartbreak, romance, and nostalgia, the album encapsulates various facets of human emotions. Songs like “Still Got It” delve deep into past relationships, while others like “Can’t Go Back, Baby” seem to draw a line, marking an end and a new beginning.
Teaming Up With Gordon Von Steiner
For this album, Troye didn’t just set his sights on audio evolution. He took a holistic approach by collaborating with the brilliant young talent in fashion videography and photography, Gordon von Steiner. Entrusted with the album’s entire visual direction, von Steiner’s unique style is evident, especially in the captivating videos for “Rush” and “Got Me Started.” The synergy between Troye’s sonic artistry and von Steiner’s visual magic offers fans a multisensory experience. This collaboration is further epitomized in the album’s cover art – a blend of musical mood and cutting-edge visual design.
Beyond the confines of music, Troye has etched his influence in the world of fashion, particularly during the renowned Paris Fashion Week. His regular presence at iconic shows like LOEWE attests to his broad-reaching influence. Moreover, his stature as one of today’s most successful openly gay singers adds another layer to his iconic status, offering representation and inspiration to many.
“Something To Give Each Other” promises a rich tapestry of emotions, from the audacious beats of “Rush” to the introspective melodies of “Still Got It.” While some tracks might echo familiar tunes, Troye ensures that the overall identity of the album is unmistakably his.
Troye has done a great job of teasing tracks on his social media, especially TikTok but we are ready for the new album! While fans are eagerly refreshing their streaming platforms, awaiting the drop of what promises to be one of the year’s most remarkable pop albums, we are sure we are set for an audio-visual journey like no other.
