Troye Sivan Hosts A Celebration On ‘Something To Give Each Other’
The singer has also shared a new video for the track ‘One Of Your Girls’
Troye Sivan has released his highly-anticipated third studio album, Something To Give Each Other, which celebrates sex, community, queerness, and love, among other things.
The record emerged from the tribulations of the last few years as the Australian pop star found himself rewiring with the joy of human connection and dance music.
Something To Give Each Other was preceded by the singles “Rush,” which has amassed over 215 million combined global streams to date, and “Got Me Started.” That track recently eclipsed its predecessor as the biggest streamed song of the week.
“Rush” scored early praise from The New York Times, who hailed it as “a sweaty, kinetic, gloriously hedonistic summer dance floor anthem.” Pitchfork said, “Sivan, already an expert at making winky, slyly subtextual pop songs, manages to inject this trope with virility, producing a sublime, orgiastic summer anthem.”
The star has also shared a new music video for the track “One Of Your Girls” today, in which a series of men appear in black and white – including Sivan. As the video progresses, the singer introduces a new drag persona, dancing around co-star Ross Lynch.
Something To Give Each Other has already earned rave reviews, with The Guardian writing: “This is one of the year’s best and most distinctive pop albums, and it’s to Sivan’s credit that even as the genre speeds up around him, he’s keeping pace while making sure to feel the breeze rush by.”
NME added: “It’s an album that fully appreciates that life’s highs and lows are hopelessly intertwined, which only makes them more beguiling. And above all, it’s a strikingly vital pop album charged with love, lust, sweat and regret. You won’t need a bosh of poppers to feel thoroughly intoxicated.”
Earlier this month, Sivan stopped by the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge to cover Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” He also performed a version of “Rush” in the session, which took place as part of the radio station’s Live Lounge Month.
