Troye Sivan Announces New Song ‘Angel Baby,’ Out Next Month
The single is set to be released on September 10.
Troye Sivan has announced details of his next single, “Angel Baby.” The Australian pop star will release the highly anticipated song next month. The new track, set to be released on September 10, has been previewed by Sivan in a pair of TikTok posts.
In one of the teasers, he describes the song as a “gushy juicy doting adoring power b^tt^m gay ballad.” Troye Sivan has been quiet so far this year, but back in August of 2020, he released a stellar EP, In A Dream, out via Capitol Records.
“[It’s] a story that’s still unfolding, this small collection of songs explores an emotional rollercoaster period in my life when the feelings and thoughts were most shockingly fresh,” Troye Sivan said of In A Dream upon its release. “Revisiting these songs and moments is tough, but I’m proud of this music and excited to have it out in the world.”
The Associated Press said, “It’s a perfectly-timed appetizer for an evolving artist – a wistful and experimental musical postcard for an uneasy era.” Sivan recorded five of the EP’s six songs with producer Oscar Görres (The Weeknd, MARINA, Tove Lo) between Stockholm and Los Angeles, just prior to the lockdown.
The leadoff track, “Take Yourself Home,” trended at No.1 on Twitter worldwide following its release earlier this year and has now attained over 92 million cumulative global streams. The New York Times hailed “Take Yourself Home” as an “understatedly lush quasi-soul thumper.” PAPER said, “It’s perhaps the first great song to come out of our collective apocalyptic state of mind during the COVID-19 outbreak.”
In the lead-up to In A Dream’s release, the singer also shared the single “Easy” with Kacey Musgraves and Mark Ronson – which amassed over 11 million combined global streams in the first week of release and now tops 36 million streams – and “Rager Teenager!” along with self-directed videos for the tracks. Each song appeared on more than 40 New Music Friday playlists.
