Forgoing the downbeat balladry of his previous work, the Australian pop singer embraces the thrill of queer desire and produces his sexiest, catchiest, most adventurous album yet.When Troye Sivan released “My My My!” back in January 2018, it felt like the Aussie tween YouTuber-turned-emerging pop star was finally coming into his own. Over a sultry, thumping electronic beat, Sivan cooed about the extremely hot thrill of being both emotionally present and sexually connected to a lover.
This lush, lustful record contains some of Sivan’s most adventurous work to date, with its global influences and club-ready beats vividly evoking the catharsis of being in touch with yourself and your community. It makes for both a fun listening experiencea compelling thesis statement: Sometimes, all you need to cure your breakup blues is quality time with your friends or a good ‘ol casual encounter with a beautiful stranger.
“Rush,” the album’s hot-and-heavy opener, is a very clear snapshot of the latter idea. On its surface, “Rush” feels engineered to play on a loop at a WeHo bar or soundtrack an energy drink commercial, but Sivan is so effective at capturing how good it feels to touch another person when you don’t have any shame around it.
This change in Sivan’s pace and tone as a musician is immensely refreshing to witness, as it reinforces his skill-set while revealing his creative potential. On “Got Me Started,” a major standout on, he uses a sample from Bag Raiders’s iconic “Shooting Stars,” which, apologies to gay Twitter, works for me.
