Last October, Australian pop star Troye Sivan released his third studio album \u2018Something To Give Each Other\u2019 to immediate acclaim, including two Grammy nominations and international commercial success. Although the artist\u2019s previous work appealed to a niche audience of LGBT youth listeners, the 10-track album\u2019s headline-grabbing singles \u2018Rush\u2019 and \u2018One of Your Girls\u2019 re-introduced the general public to the singer\u2019s matured craft.<\/p>\n

Energized by electro pop instrumentals, Sivan\u2019s self-exploratory lyrics particularly resonate with Gen Z as he articulates the generation\u2019s conscious desire for cultural authenticity and courage. In a historic moment defined by virtual communication, isolation, and polarizing opinion, Troye Sivan captivates Gen Z listeners with songs about finding human connection through experimentation and authenticity.<\/p>\n

Written as an ode to partying and human interaction<\/a> amid COVID-19 lockdowns, the album voices a generation\u2019s yearning for something greater than pre-pandemic \u201cnormalcy.\u201d Rather, Sivan seeks a world with less judgment of individual expression and more self-exploration through interpersonal relationships. Quitting family-friendly pop, the singer discusses socially contentious themes of sexuality and casual romance<\/a> in the aftermath of a breakup.<\/p>\n

According to The Atlantic<\/a><\/em>, Americans today spend more time alone than prior generations. Social isolation of lockdowns in 2020 and 2021 saw massive increases in depression and other serious mental health concerns, especially for young people<\/a>. Troye Sivan\u2019s lyrics in \u2018Something To Give Each Other\u2019 convey the feelings of angst and physical emptiness shared by millions.<\/p>\n

With the dynamic opener \u2018Rush\u2019, Troye throws himself back into the social scene of clubs and concerts, becoming a \u201clibertine pop hero<\/a>\u201d over a nod to a recreational drug brand<\/a>. Marked by the cultural phenomenon<\/a> of its music video<\/a>, the lead single scratches the itch of Gen Z\u2019s COVID era yearning for socialization and physical touch<\/a>. This thirst for intimacy continues into \u2018What\u2019s the Time Where You Are?\u2019, a mid-tempo track about long-distance and online dating, experiences increasingly common among young people. Unafraid to tell it like it is, Sivan\u2019s music sympathizes with the difficulties of this new romantic terrain while not shaming openness or promiscuity.<\/p>\n

After introducing listeners to his less inhibited reality, the record\u2019s third single, \u2018One of Your Girls\u2019, dives into Sivan\u2019s interactions with uncertain straight men<\/a>. Abandoning gender norms, Troye allows himself to be \u201cone of your girls or your homies,\u201d overcoming today\u2019s struggles with gender, sexuality, and identity politics. Visualized in the shocking music video<\/a> with former Disney star Ross Lynch, the pop star bucks our label-craving culture to build a 21st-century relationship focused on love over expectations and conformity.<\/p>\n

On the tracks \u2018Still Got It\u2019 and \u2018Can\u2019t Go Back, Baby\u2019 Sivan expresses sentiments shared by many as society \u201creturns to normal.\u201d While \u2018Still Got It\u2019 glances back at a past relationship, \u2018Can\u2019t Go Back, Baby\u2019 bravely trudges forward as the singer admits, \u201cI wish I could, but I can\u2019t go.\u201d Acknowledging the loneliness of freedom<\/a>, Sivan offers an impossible wish: to go home to the life he knew before. In a pre-release interview<\/a> with Apple Music\u2019s Zane Lowe, the singer described how \u201cfreedom can be lonely\u201d despite his pursuit of a lifestyle of \u201cerratic freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

A case study in Gen Z and millennial lifestyles, Troye\u2019s lyrics and interview commentary describe the push-and-pull of our globalized pop culture, frequent travel or study afar<\/a>, and widespread social media use<\/a>. Bouncing back from the isolation and slowness of pandemic lockdowns, Sivan jolts to life in \u2018Got Me Started\u2019 with a memorable sample from Bag Raiders \u2018Shooting Stars.\u2019 As the singer finds his footing in romance and life again, the track shares an interest in experimentation and honest communication.<\/p>\n

\u2018Silly\u2019 admits that Troye is a \u201clove junkie\u201d still trying to move on from his past relationship. Yet, the pop star contrasts this omission with the line \u201cDon\u2019t need anybody here to console me\u201d showing an internal struggle with independence. Rejoicing his restored confidence and contentment, \u2018Honey\u2019 reverberates with a triumphant synth beat. Sivan describes the line \u201cI see love in every space \/ I see sex in every city, every town\u201d as the mission statement of the album on Spotify. In a culture so fragmented, \u2018Honey\u2019 unites listeners by recognizing shared sexual connections across cities and spaces. Finding his voice (or, as the song more explicitly states, \u201cthe courage to say all the shit I mean\u201d), the Australian artist fully overcomes his youthful anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, \u2018How to Stay with You\u2019 offers an open ending to the album with saxophone backing to top it off. Letting himself start anew, the album closes on a high note and inspires listeners to do the same. As Sivan described in an interview<\/a> with NPR Music, \u2018Something To Give Each Other\u2019 highlights the value that people have to offer one another, whether in long-term commitments or brief happiness.<\/p>\n

Embodying a social libertarian attitude, Sivan offers a path forward amid tense social and political division. As he repeats on three different tracks, we all have \u201csomething to give each other,\u201d and we need to share that \u201csomething\u201d without fear of moral judgment or cancellation, to overcome what perils our culture. In a world terminally online, with everything politicized down to our food choices, his art offers escape. Plug in your headphones, turn on \u2018Something To Give Each Other\u2019, and enjoy a half hour of synthpop delight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
