Something to Give Each Other, which is slated to arrive this Friday, October 13. As he gets ready to gift the world his latest full-length, the Australian pop singer is in full promotional mode, and each new interview he gives allows him to share insight into the creation of his upcoming set.In a recent interview with The Guardian, Sivan revealed that his latest chapter, which showcases a more sexually-charged side, as is clear from the two singles he’s already released as well as the music videos that accompanied the tunes, highlight the fact that he’s ready to do something different in his career…and he didn’t come to this decision on his own.
“I think a little bit of that is honestly the work of other queer artists in mainstream pop,” Sivan stated, before he called out one superstar who has clearly inspired him the most. “Someone like Lil Nas X,” the singer stated, continuing, “I was just so inspired by how unafraid he was to take up space.”Lil Nas X famously came out as gay at the height of his early fame, when his star was still on the rise.
At the time, his single “Old Town Road” had already made history, and he was in a position where he might have been on the cusp of proving that he was a true hitmaker, or perhaps become a one-hit wonder. It was a brave move from the pop star, and one that many musicians wouldn’t have taken.
In the years since he came out, Lil Nas X has shown that he is more than a one-trick pony. He has charted several No.

The album will mark the follow-up to her debut album ‘Paris’, which was shared back in 2006.Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this week, Hilton said, “Yeah, I’m recording the new album right now.”Speaking about working with Aoki, she added, “He’s so dope.
Troye Sivan’s new track ‘Can’t Go Back, Baby’, which incorporates a sample of her song ‘Back, Baby’.The track appears on Sivan’s latest album, ‘Something To Give Each Other’, which arrived last week (October 13) and marked his third studio LP following on from 2018’s ‘Bloom’.For the track the Australian singer and actor channels Pratt’s single ‘Back, Baby’, taken from her 2014 album ‘On Your Own Love Again’, and samples the song throughout.Speaking to The Guardian about the reasons behind the decision, Sivan said that he “always thought that ‘Back, Baby’ was a really special song”, and was a fan of the singer because “her voice is kind of timeless – I feel like it could have existed forever”.Now, in a discussion with Pitchfork shared yesterday (October 16), Pratt herself has expressed her love of Sivan’s song and explained how she was surprised when the singer reached out to her to request the sample.“‘Back, Baby’ was recorded to a cassette tape in a tiny bedroom 10 years ago, so it was really unexpected to get a request from him,” she told the outlet when asked about her thoughts on the song.“Like everybody else, I find Troye to be irresistible.”Ahead of its release last week, NME awarded ‘Something To Give Each Other’ with a five-star review, praising Sivan for taking a “ more playful and provocative” approach to the songs than before.“On the one hand, ‘Something To Give Each Other’ is the sound of a queer artist fully embracing his sexuality, something that can take a little longer when you belong to a marginalised group whose desires have often been discredited and demonised,” it read.
The video features Sivan performing a lap dance for actor Ross Lynch, who is already well-known for his roles in series like the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, not to mention his considerable online following who thirsts after him on the regular.The visual is undeniably provocative, regardless of the gender or sexual identity of those involved, and thus it fits perfectly with this era of Sivan’s career.“One of Your Girls” goes deep into the sexual experiences that Sivan had with men who have yet to fully embrace their sexual identity, or who simply are straight but love a little man action on the side.Sivan shared his thoughts on these moments with People, noting that some of those men “would’ve bullied me in high school, and now here they are paying me attention.”He further opened up about past entanglements with these men, stating that “at the sacrifice of my own self-worth, I’m throwing myself at them.”He added that once he did so, “then you’re really just at their beck and call, and that can sometimes not feel so great.”With his new single, Sivan provides a thought-provoking perspective on the complex topic of hooking up with men who identify as straight, challenging the notion that such encounters are purely titillating.While there can indeed be an allure, there is a downside to these experiences, and Sivan isn’t afraid to candidly share his feelings and insights on these encounters, a viewpoint that is not often discussed openly.“One of Your Girls” is the latest focal point from Sivan’s highly-anticipated album, Something To Give Each Other.The full-length release coincided with the music video debut and represents one of the most eagerly awaited pop music releases of 2023.To provide a taste of the set, Sivan

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Nowhere in the rap star manual does it say that a guaranteed formula for success is to “make psychedelic rock album with almost no rapping.” Yet that is exactly what Lil Yachty did with “Let’s Start Here,” his fifth full album but first rock project, after years as a top rapper with hits like “One Night,” “Minnesota,” “Oprah’s Bank Account” and guest spots on Kyle’s smash “iSpy,” Dram’s “Broccoli,” Calvin Harris’ “Faking It” and others. While Yachty’s new era was teased late last year with the trippy, 83-second-long single “Poland” (which isn’t on the album), at a listening session for “Let’s Start Here” in New York last December, a number of hip-hop journalists seemed perplexed by the new sound, which most directly evokes Pink Floyd, Funkadelic and other sounds from the early ‘70s.
