19-year old YouTube superstar Troye Sivan -- who has more than 2 million subscribers to his YouTube channel -- has signed with EMI Australia and is prepping the release of his first EP for the label. The five-song set, "TRXYE," is due out worldwide on Aug. 15 and a limited edition CD is available to pre-order through his official site. Sivan first came to wider attention in 2009 with his role as young Logan in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, going on to star in the recently completed Spud cinematic trilogy, based on the novel series of the same name. He’s also amassed a considerable following on YouTube, which makes his transition into music probably one of the best-equipped in history in terms of existing fanbases (you know, in the vicinity of a casual 91 million views on the video streaming site, not to mention the rest of his impressive social media presence). He’ll have no dramas picking up a raft new fans, either, if Happy Little Pill is any indication – with this ethereal, soulful, surprisingly assured effort, Sivan wears his self-acknowledged influences (Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Haim, Frank Ocean) on his sleeve and makes a distinct sonic statement about what we can expect from the prodigious performer moving forward.

I was really surprised by how much I liked the song. It doesn't sound like a debut song, and it isn't juvenile in the way that a lot of other internet musicians are.
Its currently #3 on iTunes.
Any indication if he's getting a push to radio?

Bought it. It's so good. I love how he pronounces pill for some odd reason. He's so adorable and I'm so happy for him.

Troye revealed some days ago that there will be a track called "DKLA", which features Tkay Maidza.
And he has announced today that Wild will be released on September 4! Tracklisting:1. "Wild" 2. "Bite" 3. "Fools" 4. "Ease" (featuring Broods)5. "The Quiet" 6. "DKLA" (featuring Tkay Maidza)So, it's an EP, instead of an album. However, if it's considered that he said that this is a '6 song introduction to all of the music he'll be releasing this year' (as he previously posted on the YouTube video some posts above), it could lead to the release of his debut album. Also, as a side note, the title track was mentioned on the iHeartRadio Music Summit last week, so I'm wondering if this will receive some push.

TROYE killed it with this EP. Love the vibe and lyrics. Loving Ease, Fools and Wild but the whole thing is killer. Hopefully this breaks him into mainstream success and lead to full album to do well.
EDIT: the QUIET just hit me... The lyrics are hitting me hard rn.

It was previously mentioned, but Troye confirmed that his debut album will be released sometime before the end of this year on Kent Small's (aka Smallzy) NOVA FM Radio show.
Early update in the UK and Wild is at #2 there.

From the Official Charts/ BuzzJack Music Forum: 1 Iron Maiden - Book of Souls (45.5k) * 2 Jess Glynne - I Cry When I Laugh (12.7k) 3 Troye Sivan - Wild - EP (7.0k) * 4 Five Finger Death Punch - Got Your Six (6.5k) * 5 The Weeknd - Beauty Behind the Madness (6.3k) This is the Monday update in the UK and Wild is at #3. Looks like a Top 10 debut could happen, although I hope it will remain inside the Top 5 this week.

I listened to TRYXE before and I thought it was just okay but wow WILD is excellent. The title track has been in my head since I first heard it days ago. Troye has a great atmospheric quality to his music, but it's still catchy enough as pop music to really get into your head. I love the low-key electronic quality to it; it's a great sound.
I wonder if they'll try to push him at radio at all.

I am currently obsessed with this EP. I've been listening non stop all week. I played it for some of my friends and they went...wild. They were all wondering why they hadn't heard of him. If he continues to make great music and gets some serious exposure I think he could really make some waves in the industry.

Really though. This EP is not shit at all.
I love every song except for "Bite", which is actually kind of annoying. But everything else is ace.
Let's talk about the first minute and a half of "DKLA", what kind of finished-a-bottle-of-wine-drunk-angsty-sex jam?

I love "Wild" but I'd actually rank it #5 out of 6 ("Bite" is #6 duh). These other tracks are just so good. THIS is how you use synth, kids!
