‘It’s My Most Experimental Album Yet’: Troye Sivan on ‘She’s the Best’ and His Sultry New Music Video

The album leans into grungey ’90s dance sounds and candid lyrics, with collaborations from Jack Antonoff, George Daniel and Nicole Kidman.

  • On Friday, October 9, 2026, pop artist Troye Sivan released his fourth studio album, 'She's the Best,' following a two-month promotional period after the title track debuted in August.
  • Departing from his party-boy façade, Sivan aimed for deeper introspection, shifting away from the dance-pop style of his 2023 record to explore the motivations driving his lifestyle.
  • Drawing on 1990s dance influences, the album features production from Jack Antonoff and George Daniel, utilizing glitch-hop and drum and bass textures alongside Sivan's 'loose' and 'laid-back' songwriting.
  • Throughout the album, Sivan explores themes of lust, desire, and longing for permanence in an unstable world, dedicating the work to the women who have served as his friends and defenders.
  • Critics describe the project as a snapshot of an artist unafraid to pivot from pop conventions, positioning Sivan as a curator of his own vision rather than a traditional performer.
