One Of Your Girls is so very dreamy. Wow. I just saw the video with Troye in full drag! I liked it and now I like the song too! Very cool. Perhaps I need to give the album one more listen just in case.

Yes, for me all of Troye’s albums doesn’t click right away but with repeated listens that’s when I really get to appreciate it. On first listen though the standouts for me aside from the singles are:
What’s The Time Where You Are One Of Your Girls Silly Honey

I fell in love with Blue Neighbourhood and Bloom the minute I heard them. Can't wait to listen to this!

This era got me stanning. lol He’s been delivering with every bit he’s put out. I really hope he can hone in on the live performance aspect because I’m expecting SOME dancing when he does tour.

People better give Troye the recognition he deserves this time.

Welp...it looks like sonebody wanted to listen to this album more than I did, since it was stolen from my door while I was out at ACL, LOL. Womp womp. Per Amazon policy, I have to wait a few days to see if it turns up before I can try for a refund. Meanwhile, it's at an 88 on Metacritic, which I'm pretty sure is his highest score!

Finally listening to this critically-acclaimed album and I gotta say...it's short and sweet. Rush really grew on me to the point where I totally get it as a first single. It just makes sense and it works. Got Me Started is much stronger though. Overall, the album is cohesive, well-produced, and a totally vibe. Troye hasn't missed yet. No skips. The only thing I will say is that it is missing the gravitas that both Bloom and Blue Neighbourhood (Still Got It Bad doesn't count, LOL), but I get it. Boys just wanna have fun sometimes! Also, why is the second half so much better than the first half. Was he just warming us up or? 1. Got Me Started (Wow. Actually the first time hearing this full and also, I was ignorant to memes until like...5 years ago maybe so I missed that whole meme thing he is sampling, but this reminds me of why I love Troye in the first place. This one slaps so hard. The star of the album. I hope it does well for him.) 2. Honey (Why did I want to cry while listening to this party jam?? It's just so dreamy and euphoric.) 3. Silly (oooh baby, this is HOT! I can't wait to hear this on Molly this weekend when my friends come to town.) 4. One Of Your Girls (Oooh this is just perfect and I dig the Kavinsky nod in the chorus. At first, I was like wait...am I listening to the wrong song and then I heard the chorus and was like aaah ok. A bold move of a song and I'm here for it.) 5. Rush (still a great first single, even though it had to grow on me.) 6. Can't Go Back, Baby (ooh that vocal layering makes me feel so good inside and the overall vocal production is just...chef's kiss.) 7. How To Stay With You (I am surprised A.G. Cook made something so smooth and also, at the censoring of bussy. What was the point?) 8. In My Room (sooo chill and lush!) 9. What's The Time Where You Are? (it's cool. I don't know why but it reminds of Shawn Mendes.) 10. Still Got It Bad (Where was the beat, baby?? That fakeout gave me hope that we were gonna get a Blue Neighbourhood beat, but instead, just glitch and noise, LOL. Give me at least 30 seconds of a beat, but whatever, it sounds pretty and I love the guitar near the end.) FYI, the extended version of Rush is only included on vinyl. Streaming and the CD have the edit, for some dumb reason.

Yeah after a couple more spins this doesn't come close to Bloom but it's good on it's own right.

One of Your Girls is surging on global Spotify, and cracking top 10 UK. This really is Troye’s main pop boy era, he’s out for blood this time and deserves all the success

The album has everything from bussy bops for the circuit gays to sad songs for the depressed gays. Troye is really giving back to the community. What an icon.

BLOOM should have been the album that catapulted him to a new level of fame but this is a strong effort, as well.

Does anybody know where to (legally) download the extended version of "Rush"? It's on my record, but I don't see it on Apple Music.

Earns his first two Grammy nominations for Best Pop Dance Recording and Best Music Video (both for "Rush"). Congrats!

Do we think they’ll push another single to radio? Or is the focus just now the tour?
