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’.

Miley Cyrus has officially joined the Barbie universe with a collector doll created in her likeness.
The Flowers singer is the latest star to receive a collectible figure as part of Mattel's Barbie Signature Series.
According to Mattel, the new doll recognizes Miley's lasting influence as a musician, actress, and champion of self expression while celebrating the impact she has made across music, entertainment, and pop culture.
The design is inspired by the custom Alaïa outfit Miley wore in her Golden Burning Sun music video. The doll is dressed in a faux leather two piece pants ensemble with a hooded jacket, black pointed toe heels, and comes complete with a microphone.
In a statement, the 33 year old shared that she worked closely with the Barbie team, saying she spent "so much time digging into the details" to make sure the doll truly reflected both her creativity and personal style.
"Seeing my Barbie for the first time is a dream come true," she said. "We did not miss any marks when it came down to the design of my doll from the look, the hair, the accessories, the makeup, and the structure. Every detail was purposeful, and we spent a lot of time perfecting her not to be perfect, because that wouldn't be representative of me, but to really get down to the details of this Golden Burning Sun look."
Miley also celebrated the milestone in an Instagram video, describing it as a "full circle moment" and recalling how she used to braid her Barbie dolls' hair and switch their outfits when she was younger.
"She's something I'll never outgrow as she evolves with me," she captioned the video. "As an adult, I treasure my collection I never take out of the box. Holding my Barbie in my hands is a true full circle moment."
The former Hannah Montana star now joins fellow music icons including Kylie Minogue, Stevie Nicks, David Bowie, Elvis Presley, and Elton John, all of whom have previously been honored with their own Barbie Signature Series dolls.
The Barbie Signature Miley Cyrus Collectible Doll is available now and sells for $92.77 (£69.99).
