Every track rumbled with teenage uncertainty, like the musical equivalent of a secret cigarette when parents are sleeping. On his debut album, Blue Neighbourhood, he wove a queer bildungsroman through the amber-lit suburban streets of his youth. This narrative, though, is a misleading and a huge distraction from where Troye Sivan’s most important work occurs: the music itself. As a teenager, his coming-out video on YouTube inspired thousands (if not more) to express their own sexualities and now, as a popstar, he acknowledges his position to aid queer visibility and offers support to his fans, like teaming up with The Trevor Project and The Ally Coalition for his upcoming tour. And anyway, Troye has hardly shied away from the responsibilities foisted on gay people when they live their lives in public. Whether he accepts the label is not up to him as a public figure you relinquish the ability to control public perception.
