Every time I see someone on Twitter say they saw Troye live, they rave about this Blue Neighbourhood track. My expectations have been adequately raised.
Here's a live video:

This is such a smash. My only critique is that it's basically a Lorde song. I really wish he would gain some traction on radio. Talk Me Down, Youth, and WILD would be such a good 1-2-3 punch.

This kinda sounds like a mixture of "Fun" and "Touch". I need it, can't wait til December.

He really does seem like the love child of a convenient throuple between Travis Garland, Lorde, and James Blake.

Troye confirmed that this is his next single, which received its first play on Shazam Top 20, an Australian radio show, early today.

The track is on Spotify and I assume it can be listened to it from midnight.

It's fantastic. It really is the male version of "Royals".

I've just realized that I didn't write what I feel about the track. That said, I enjoyed it on first listen, although it wasn't as instant as his previous ones. However, it doesn't mean that it can't grow on me. I really wish he would gain some traction on radio. I wonder if they'll push this to CHR. This is something I'm wondering as well and I still don't know why it doesn't happen. From all the tracks he released so far, "Wild" is the only one that received two adds in different weeks on the CHR/Pop format, so I assume that there's some interest on him. Even, prior to that, two of his tracks ("Wild" and "Talk Me Down") were premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, while this one on Z100 New York. However, I think that that Capitol doesn't know how to target Troye in the US. I might be wrong, but what pisses me off is that I don't see that they are trying to push him on the radio and they seem to rely everything on his fanbase. Another possibility I could think of is that they are waiting for early next year to do that. Technically, he's a new act, so a push in the radios between January and February seems the best instead of a one between September and December, but there's a chance that it could be late though. Anyway, as a side note, the track has been delivered to Australian radios this week, so Troye has received some support in his country at the very least with this track and "Wild".

She's been a promotion representative for Capitol for some time. Looks like this is headed to CHR in January.

It was about time he is promoted to radio. Happy little pill was a waste of Life of the party proportions. I never understand why a label just doesn't take profit of a single that is already popular. Even if doesn't became a big hit it will be enough to open the doors for future songs.
It's curious because on internet (youtube, Vine, etc) there are a lot of posers, people who are basically famewhores, who publish books that they didn't write, etc, but in terms of singers, they are generally quite good

I love this and think it has breakthrough hit potential with the right push, but "Wild" is even more of a no brainer imo.

I can't believe that it's finally going to be a push for Troye in the US. That's amazing! <3 I think I would have preferred "Wild" over this, but I'm not going to complain about it.

Finally!! If this somehow becomes a hit I hope they will push "Fools" after it. :'(

In other news, is Zedd still releasing a track off True Colours? I think they should try pushing "Papercut".

I'm just glad they are giving any of his songs a push on radio. I do think that WILD should have been the song they went with though.

I actually think this is just OK. It's weird - I dig both "Papercut" and "Wild", but since then he's been on this hit-or-miss pendulum:
"Fools" - not that into. "Talk Me Down" - loving it! This song - not that into.

"Youth" is excellent, and other than "Wild," I don't think anything else would work as an entry point for radio. I would love to see this smash.

In other news, is Zedd still releasing a track off True Colours? I think they should try pushing "Papercut". I don't think it's going to happen. Despite "Papercut" is one of my favourite tracks from True Colors and I have said all over here that a proper radio edit (although the album one is amazing) could have worked in favour of it to be released officially as a single, I think Zedd is solely promoting the album with his tour instead of releasing more tracks from it.

It's coming! :'( That said, it's safe to say that he's going to perform this one on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon tonight.
