Bio

Across more than a decade, Troye Sivan has established himself as one of contemporary pop’s defining artists, moving fluidly between music, fashion, film, and culture. His catalogue has amassed more than 15.5 billion global streams, with nine Billboard Hot 100 entries, three GRAMMY® nominations, eight ARIA Awards, and numerous Platinum and Gold certifications worldwide.

Now the global pop artist, songwriter, and creative force releases his fourth studio album, She’s the Best – a record that moves between the euphoria of the past few years and the solitude and introspection that existed beneath it.

Describing the album as a “painting” of his life “in all of its moods and colors,” Sivan says the record explores the high-octane highs of the past few years alongside the solitude and longing that sat underneath them. “There is this high-octane side to the album that feels really bombastic, and then there are the songs that feel like the interior of my mind,” he says.

Following the global success and touring cycle of Something to Give Each Other, Sivan found himself returning to empty hotel rooms and confronting a very different side of life on the road. He describes She’s the Best as an “almost uncomfortably true picture” of that period, moving between euphoria and isolation, desire, and introspection.

The album also marks a new chapter creatively for Sivan. Taking on a producer role for the first time, he recorded much of the album’s vocals from his home office, returning to the freedom he remembers from making music in his bedroom as a kid. “I wanted to make something that – and I don’t mean this in a cocky way – only I could make,” he says. “People are smart, and I wanted to make something genuinely interesting and complicated.”

She’s the Best follows Sivan’s critically acclaimed third studio album, Something to Give Each Other, which debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart, accumulating more than 2.2 billion global streams. The era produced career-defining singles including “Rush,” “One of Your Girls,” and “Got Me Started,” before culminating in the culture-shifting SWEAT Tour alongside long-time friend and collaborator Charli xcx.
