Troye Sivan has begun teasing his comeback.
The pop singer-songwriter took to Instagram over the weekend (June 10) to tease that his long-awaited third studio album will soon be released, also hinting in the process that his next single is being titled ‘Rush’.
Writing on Instagram, Sivan shared an update, saying that he had no intention of making fans wait for five years for a new record since he last released his acclaimed sophomore album ‘Bloom’.
“I didn’t mean to take 5 years to make this album – Bloom tour happened (lmk if you came), then i started working on it, then cockbig19 (COVID-19), then The Idol, always working on the album in all the moments between..and now here we are,” Troye Sivan wrote. “Enough excuses now. Enough saying ‘soon’, this is for YOU and it starts NOWWWW”.
Check out Troye Sivan’s post below.
While further details on ‘Rush’ and the album it’s being taken from have yet to be announced, Sivan has been teasing the record since September last year.
2018’s ‘Bloom’ scored a glowing five-star review from NME’s El Hunt, who wrote: “Troye Sivan and other queer pop stars frequently find themselves lumped with common tags – “unapologetically out” is one clumsy term that often gets thrown about. As much as it’s often a cliché, unapologetic – or rather, completely empowered – is a mood that applies wholeheartedly to ‘Bloom’. Here, Sivan has created an album that does away with any apology; instead it sees him seize happiness with both hands.”
Since then, Sivan has released the 2020 EP ‘In A Dream’, and the standalone singles ‘Angel Baby’, ‘Trouble’ and ‘Wait’, the last two of which featured on the soundtrack of the Sivan-starring film Three Months.
Elsewhere, Sivan collaborated with Mark Ronson and Kacey Musgraves for a remix of the song ‘Easy’, which featured in its original form on ‘In A Dream’. Last year, he released the full version of that EP’s interlude ‘could cry just thinkin about you’, and featured alongside Tate McRae on the song ‘You’.

Recently, an old Tweet of Metro Boomin's resurfaced on Soulja Boy's feed, prompting a heated response. During a chat with fans on Instagram Live last week, the "Crank That" performer took aim at the award-winning producer, calling him out for something he wrote back in 2012. "My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy," it reads. "Yours rings to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit down."
"I had a number one n***a when you was in motherf*ckin' middle school," he began. "That was 2007... F*ck is you talking about Metro Groomin?" From there, Soulja Boy told Metro to delete the Tweet. According to him, it's disrespectful regardless of how old it is. "Go delete that Tweet... I don't give a f*ck if it was three years old, I don't give a f*ck if it was 20 years old," he said.
Soulja Boy gave him 24 hours, though he failed to specify exactly what would happen if the Tweet wasn't deleted. Shortly after, 21 Savage chimed in, writing "Or what." It seems as though he's sticking up for Metro Boomin here, which doesn't come as too much of a surprise considering their history. It is curious, however, that he decided to jump on Soulja Boy after only a few remarks but remained mostly silent while nearly everyone went after Drake. He's also kept quiet when Drake has dissed Metro throughout the whole "20 v 1" debacle and recent back and forth with Kendrick Lamar.
Commenters are questioning him in Akademiks' Instagram comments section, arguing that it's an odd time for him to step in. It's possible that since Soulja Boy is on good terms with both Drake and Metro Boomin, at least as far as the public knows, he just doesn't want to get involved. As for Soulja Boy, he doesn't appear to have strong ties with 21 these days, which is likely why he felt comfortable checking him. What do you think of 21 Savage's response to Soulja Boy's rant about Metro Boomin? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
