Troye Sivan Rave Reviews

When you weren't paying attention, Troye Sivan released Bloom album to "universal acclaim".

I listened to his music for the first time last week and was absolutely surprised how good it was

His "bottomless" voice reminds me of Nico. It's a bit nasal, has vocal fry, and it's lazy but I still like it.

Not paying attention? That’s you OP. Not searching before posting either. Tsk.

Dora Dumbfuck that was the single and the thread died awhile ago.

I don’t object to a new thread, dear. I object to the claim that we were not paying attention to TS.

ah ha! Well now you can discuss the album here et voila, je vous en prie. I'm surprised by the raves this got. Purple prose!

Isn't' 'universal acclaim' a bit of an overstatement OP?

"Universal acclaim" a category on Metacritic, which I linked to. I am dubious. It's a pleasant album though.

R7 As stated above, Universal Acclaim is a category on Metacritic for albums that are, well, Universally Acclaimed. They average what the critics are saying and then come up with that distinction.

I think My My My is a bop and should have been a bigger hit. Bloom is a terrible song and he cannot sing live to save himself. Its embarrassing. Painful to watch him perform on tv. Yikes

R10 He is not a great singer, especially not live, but the album itself is very good.

Saw him live a couple of weeks ago. He defnitely had heavy backing tracks during his more lively songs, because he moves a lot. I was surprised how much I enjoyed him as a performer. He was very chatty - too chatty - and engaged with his audience, seemed to be a charming kid. Not the best concert but it exceeded my expectations.

all THREE of them liked it?

I thought he was novel at first, but the whispercoo starts to grate. And he sounds like a sex addict.
