About his return to music, Troye Sivan took to social media with an update about his long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s ‘Bloom,’ confirming that in between his acting jobs – including ‘The Idol’ alongside Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd – he’s been busy preparing new songs.
Alongside what appears to be a snippet of a new track called ‘Rush’, the now 28-year-old former YouTuber-turned-singer-and-actor wrote on Instagram:
“It’s not lost on me that some of you guys have been following along since i was the kid w the stye in my eye in that first video.” “Btw — I didn’t mean to take 5 years to make this album – Bloom tour happened (lmk if you came!), then i started working on it, then c***big19 (COVID-19), then The Idol, always working on the album in all the moments between.. and now here we are. 10 years since i signed my record deal, 5 years since bloom. Enough excuses now. Enough saying ‘soon’ this is for YOU and it starts NOWWWW.” “I love you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you (sic)”
The video clip features a montage of Troye throughout the years in vlogs saying, ‘Hey guys, it’s Troye Sivan.”
The ‘1999’ hitmaker – whose prior collabs include Charli XCX, BTS, Ariana Grande and Alessia Cara – has released two 2015 studio albums; ‘Blue Neighbourhood’ and ‘Bloom,’ and in 2020, Sivan dropped his fifth EP, ‘In A Dream’.
Revisiting a difficult period in his life in order to create the follow-up to his 2015 EP, ‘Wild’ – the pop star admitted that the music was “tough” to write, explaining “This small collection of songs explores an emotional rollercoaster period in my life when the feelings and thoughts were most shockingly fresh.” “Revisiting these songs and moments is tough, but I’m proud of this music and excited to have it out in the world.”
