South African born, Australian actor and 19 year old and already viral darling of the blogs, Troye Sivan, releases his debut single for Polydor which is a polished yet moreish, bass drum-kicking, trip hop affair which has echoes and subtle tones of the song writing and vocal deliveries that keep Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Lorde, London Grammar, Sam Smith and cohorts at the top of the game and the top of the charts. The Casper Zazz remix works the carnival bamboo keys into the mix, pulling everything into tighter focus, pushing the levels into each corner of the globe, magnifying and reverbing the sounds until they fill the spaces inbetween your atoms. And yet there’s no sugar coating here, from X-Men to Youtube to Itunes, Troye Sivan is simply the real deal. An out and proud superstar in the making.
