Love all the songs on the EP!! And so funny to see "Bite" is either a favourite or the worst on the EP with most people. Bite is my favourite along with Fools (closely followed by "The Quiet")

omg I just realized his name is like Troy and not a Kanye-esque Tro-ye!
Anyway "Bite" has shifted its tide with me. I LOVE it now! "DKLA" and "Ease" are my two favorite here though.

It wasn't mentioned before, but Wild debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 last week, matching the peak of TRXYE in the US. From Billboard: Also, TRXYE has sold 73,000 copies to date in the US.
As a side note, he has uploaded lyric videos for all the tracks from Wild. • Listen to "Wild" here. • Listen to "Bite" here. • Listen to "Fools" here. • Listen to "Ease" here. • Listen to "The Quiet" here. • Listen to "KDLA" here. And there's a new mix of "Wild" from RAC.

This EP is way more cohesive and fluid than TRYXE is. The production as a whole seems better too, but what I really finally had a "duh" moment is to how great of a voice he seems to have? He's kind of has this crooner thing going on with his voice which is rather impressive. Don't get me wrong, I've always thought he was a competent vocalist due to "Happy Little Pill" specifically, but this go around something about his tone comes alive and shines on this.

Haven't watched the videos yet, but the EP is really strong - I think I'd listened to TRXYE once and it didn't grab me much, but this is solid most of the way through. Also, a recommendation - if you like him, you'd probably like his New Zealand neighbor Thomston: soundcloud.com/thomston

Along the release of the "Fools" music video today, Troye also revealed the dates for his first US tour. That said, all the dates are sold out and he even tweeted that the LA date was in less than 30 seconds (!!!) As a side note, it was mentioned in his e-mail newsletter that 'more countries will be announced soon', so I hope Latin America is also included, but I'm not holding my breath at this possibility to be honest. Sigh! Excited for part 3 (probably "The Quiet"?!!) Likely, although it could be "Ease" too. However, there's a rumour that it may be a new track from him allegedly called "Talk Me Down", which he played the chorus (around the 3:35 min. mark) on the Playlist Live Tri-State Kick-Off Show later last year.

Untill yesterday I never heard of "Talk Me Down" but I'm obsessed with the snippet!! If it's not for part 3 then I really hope it's on the album later this year!!

So some youtuber has good detective skills
It's really quite possible that the third video/part is gonna be Talk Me Down!!!
In this video, that Troye posted, there are a couple of tags but the only song names tagged are "Wild", "Fools" AND "Talk Me Down"!!! :) :)
(Press Ctrl + U to search for the video tags if you want to check for yourselves)

OMG!
I was considering the option that "Talk Me Down" was going to be the third song when he posted the BTS actually. I mean, why did he upload it when there was a remaining song? Also, it could have been better if Troye uploaded two BTS videos for "Wild" and "Fools" separately instead of only one to avoid any suspicious. Moreover, when he was on the Playlist Live Tri-State Kick-Off Show later last year, he told the audience to help him with some tracks and, coincidentally, those songs were the previously mentioned. As a consequence, I assume he had an idea (or already planned?) to use these tracks in a video shoot.
That said, the only reason I could think of why "Talk Me Down" didn't make the cut on Wild is that they wanted to save it for his debut album and make a connection between the EP and it with the release of the 'Blue Neighbourhood' trilogy. Oh! And I remember that he said that some tracks from the EP will going to be on his debut album, so I guess it's safe to say that "Wild" and "Fools" are going to be there.

The 'Blue Neighbourhood' trilogy will be shown at the Hollywood Forever cemetery in Los Angeles on October 20 and the last part of the trilogy is going to be uploaded on VEVO that day as well.

The album's titled Blue Neighbourhood and is supposed to be out before the end of the year. He's on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show tomorrow to premiere a new song (probably "Talk Me Down") as the World Record and give "big news" (probably the release date).

I assume the new song is going to be "Talk Me Down" because of the latest's release schedule from Noise11. Also, the last installment from the 'Blue Neighbourhood' trilogy is allegedly this track and it could be a bridge with his new project and, even, the lead single from it.
As a side note, looks like Troye has worked with Leland, Oh Wonder and Betty Who if it's considered that the three of them tweeted part of the artwork previously posted.

Out December 4 - 10 tracks standard, 16 deluxe; some of the Wild tracks will be on standard and the rest on deluxe. "Talk Me Down" was today's Beats 1 World Record, as expected, and he's touring before the end of the year into 2016 (I think - I wasn't listening too closely then).

This is the way to do an album release that's preceded by an EP. Meghan Trainor and Bea Miller should take note, cause having all the EP tracks on the standard edition of the album is scammy af.

The interview with Zane Lowe was uploaded on Beats 1 Radio's YouTube channel.
Anyway, regarding the tracklist, it's 'out there' and I take it as true because it came out from Troye's site before it was taken down. That said, despite Troye indeed mentioned that some tracks from Wild will be on the standard and the rest on the deluxe as Kurt posted, all of them are in the standard and they are the first six tracks, while "Talk Me Down" is next one. I assume it was done in that way because he also mentioned that Wild (FYI, the EP, not the song) was a body of work and the introduction of the album. Also, it's kind of interesting that all the songs are capitalized, except for "for him.", which is written in that way.

Apparently it's on Spotify already almost everywhere. It definitely is in Australia (and the link I found directed me to the Australian site but told me I couldn't listen in my country).
