Interview with Troye Sivan: Celebrating love and growing up

Since his debut, Troye Sivan has proven to be a multifaceted artiste. The Australian singer-songwriter quickly amassed a following – now having more than 7.44 million of subscribers on Youtube – and winning numerous music awards.

He was also sought out to model for the Pasha de Cartier luxury watch collection and recently walked Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty show.

His latest project is his brand new single, an intimate ballad titled Angel Baby. The dreamy track is full of yearning and romance, and will remind listeners of 90s synth glory. The Fader described the hook of the song as “pure George Michael,” another testament to Sivan’s talent as a music artiste.

In a recent teleconference interview, Sivan said: “Angel Baby is my crack at an adoring, doting, love struck, mega pop, gay power ballad. I thought we needed a few more of those.”

He also shared some titbits about the track’s highly-anticipated music video, saying that it would be just like the song which is “a complete fantasy”.

“It’s really a celebration of queer love in a really beautiful way,” he added. He was also coy when asked who will play his partner in the video.

“I don’t want to spoil anything but it’s not necessarily a man. It might be many… people,” he teased.

While the music video has yet to be completed, fans can enjoy a taste of it through a visualiser on Sivan’s YouTube channel (also included in video above).
