Lucas Hedges interviewed Troye for the cover story
of The New Vanguard issue of VMAN. Check out their conversation
HERE.
Responding to Hedges’ question about the meaning of Bloom,
Troye said, “I got settled in L.A. and was super happy
in my relationship. I’d never written happy music, because music
is normally something I turn to when I’m sad, as kind of a coping
mechanism. So I was like, what does ‘happy me’ sound like? I
started just writing these songs. It was sort of love letter
after love letter to my boyfriend, house, family, community,
and nights out. The word ‘bloom’ I had saved in my phone for
so long, because it was really how I was feeling.”
While deeply personal in nature, the songs capture universal
experiences – coming of age, learning from your past and finding
a love that inspires you to go out and make yourself a bolder
future. Troye wrote them with trusted collaborator-confidants
Bram Inscore, Allie X and Leland and recorded the songs with
producer Ariel Rechtshaid (HAIM, Usher, Kelela). Then he headed
to Sweden to collaborate with Max Martin’s MXM crew on additional
tracks.
“I wanted to make sure the music had a really strong sense of
identity,” explains Troye. “Then I wanted to explore:
Let’s find the poppiest edge of that world.”
In a four-star review, Rolling Stone said, “The golden
ticket is in the details…Sivan finds a wealth of ways to bring
about reflections on age-old themes with undeniable charisma.”
Hailing the album as “triumphant” and awarding it five stars,
NME observed, “[Sivan] tears away all the filters to
share a deliriously upbeat statement that washes over you like
a dopamine rush.”
TIME
said, “Troye Sivan Is the Perfect Pop Star for 2018…Bloom
marks a major artistic achievement, evoking influences from
the Velvet Underground to Simon & Garfunkel.” The New York
Times noted, “It’s darker, more guitar-driven and at times
sexier than what’s come before.” Naming it the Album of the
Week, Stereogum said, “the songs are deep and rich and
confident….the whole pop sphere is already a whole lot richer
with him in it.” L’Officiel observed, “the boy we first
fell in love with on Blue Neighborhood is all grown up
on Bloom.”
USA Today said, “One of the most intriguing young talents
of his generation is Troye Sivan, whose track My My My! is
one of 2018’s best singles.” Pitchfork hailed the follow-up
single, “Bloom,” as one of the defining songs of the
last 50 years of LGBTQ+ Pride while PAPER proclaimed
it “an unapologetically radical release.” Idolator praised
“Dance To This” as “refreshingly casual…[with] a chorus
that leaves you wanting more in the best possible way.“ Rolling
Stone said, “On ‘The Good Side,’ Sivan channels Sufjan Stevens’
sorrowful balladry.” Vulture declared “Animal” “the ultimate
’80s slow jam” and OUT said, “The song is a slow, haunting
expression of aching love that belongs in the climax of a romance
film where someone is starting wistfully out a rainy car window.”
Troye has appeared on the covers of Rolling Stone,
Out, V Magazine and, most recently, The
New York Times’ Sunday Arts & Leisure section and VMAN.
His numerous awards include a Billboard Music Awards trophy
and two GLAAD Media wins.
