Troye Sivan - Something to Give Each Other + Sweat tour

I see the gays are doing DISCOURSE about Troye not inviting anyone with body fat to his video shoot :(
 
I just mean I would like a prize THANK YOU

Although I'd probably find a better song to fuck to anyway so never mind
 
TROYE has passed me by but I listened to this after literally drowning in discourse, omg it’s so good, and the video is really well done.

JUSTICE FOR THE SKINNY GAYS!

“Rush” Is Troye Sivan at His Gayest, Sweatiest, and Most Intimate. He Tells Vogue All About His New Single and Upcoming Album

The Australian singer an actor tells Vogue all about his latest single, “Rush,” and upcoming album, “Something to Give Each Other.”

I have to start by asking about the name of the song, which many of us on the gay corner of the internet are assuming is a reference to poppers, given the well-known brand also named Rush.

I mean, sure. Loosely. Not no. I knew I wanted a straight-up, unapologetic dance track on the album, and I tried to make it a few times and it just wasn’t working. I got on Instagram and asked if anyone had tracks they wanted to send me, and I got sent a bunch of stuff. Weirdly, the call came from inside the house, and it was a friend of a friend who made the song. What I got sent was the track that had the hook “I feel the rush / Addicted to your touch,” and that was the jumping off point for me to write around it. Of course, the second I heard the word [rush] I was like, Oh, well, slay. I love the lyrics, the “Breathe, one, two, three, take all of me‚” I’m obsessed with [laughs].

The video encapsulates the energy of a sweaty, sexy, endless summer party. How did you envision it?

I just wanted it to feel real. We had conversations where someone would be like, “Is this too much?” And I’d just be like, “God, no.” We go to parties with dark rooms every weekend, this is real life and it’s what it feels like. I spent so much time in Australia in the summer, too, and it’s exactly what I want to capture. Everyone is hot, everyone is sweaty, everyone has sunblock on and their skin is shiny, and it can be anything from what we call “bush doofs” in Australia [an outdoor party] to a nightclub or a bar or staying home with your friends. Whatever it looks like, it’s the feeling of endlessly being addicted to your friends and wanting to just have a really good time. I also spent a lot of time in Europe, and I’m super inspired by European party culture.

When it came to doing this video, the first thing I knew was that I wanted to make it with Gordon von Steiner. I’ve wanted to work with him for so long. We had never worked together and he had never done a music video, so I think it was both exciting to him and to me, and we’re just friends. Stuart Winecoff, who shot the video, I’ve worked with a bunch, and he’s also, like, Gordon’s best friend. It felt like a friend trip to Berlin, where we filmed the video. It was awesome.

What can we expect musically from the album?

I was listening to a lot of Janet Jackson from the early 2000s. I wanted to make this kind of sweet, nostalgic pop, but was also super inspired by the idea of global pop. I toured so much for Bloom, and then got back and was locked down in Australia. This album is really about the idea of pop music being able to bring people together. Of course it’s my experience, so it’s a queer experience, but it’s for everyone. It’s so cool to me, and nostalgic, to reminisce on pop stars of the past. Seeing a video of Janet playing to hundreds of thousands of people, with choreo and everything, is such a sweet part of my pop culture experience. It’s also an honest album, so there’s some low moments—only two, really—that are ballads about loneliness or reminiscing on the past. It’s a collection of all the experiences of the last two and a half to three years. I feel really lucky to say this, but I’m in a really good place, so the album feels like that.
 
Up to #22 on Spotify UK, and #27 on the first midweeks.

He's only been on the top 40 once before as a solo lead. My My My got to #38 in 2018.

I was surprised by that initially, but then I realised that while I know his name, I've never knowingly heard one of his songs before this one so... 🤷‍♂️
 
yeah this will clearly be his biggest solo hit everywhere. one go of the chorus is all it takes :disco:
 
He’s certainly much more known than his chart peaks suggest (looking at his Spotify stats compared to his single entries for example), but that’s often the way these days. Nice to see him getting a genuine chart hit for once.

He was HUGE on YouTube once upon a time, right? I'm glad he managed the pivot from gay Zoella to popstar.
