Bloom, his new album, is the triumph of that transformation. It is the work of an astonishingly accomplished singer-songwriter; a powerhouse collection of ballads and pop bangers that feels as personal and autobiographical as anything Sivan has ever released. It’s time we acknowledge the truth: Troye Sivan is the future of pop music.
The BRAG: Blue Neighbourhood came out three years ago and you’ve been through so much since then. I was just wondering; how did you take what you’ve learnt in that time through the writing process of Bloom? Troye Sivan: That was probably the biggest force in writing this album: everything that I’d learnt since I released the last one. Just my whole life has changed so much. When I wrote the first album, I was really, really still finding my feet. And though I totally still am, I just feel a lot more comfortable and relaxed. I’m just way happier in my personal life and I’ve had all these crazy experiences work-wise.
“I’m just way happier in my personal life.”
