Troye feels the rush, Demi still isn’t sorry, Cher takes us down memory lane: Your weekly bop roundup
Let’s take a gander below and get acquainted with some of these drops in this week’s “bop after bop” new queer music roundup…After a month of teasing (and believe me, we were into it) during Pride month no less, Troye Sivan finally dropped his steamy, self-assured new single “RUSH”.
This release is something young gay men only fantasized about seeing one day: an out and proud male pop star bursting onto the pop scene singing about sex with an equally seductive yet celebratory video to match.
The track is Troye’s most ambitious to date, not just in its tenacity, but in its quality. Troye fearlessly dove into that anthemic, explosive, club-crafted pop realm we’ve been craving from him, matched with dizzy disco-infused house beats and that beefy chant of a hook that’s been in our heads for weeks.
The video only amplifies the song, with its warm overtones, Caravaggio lightwork, dance floors paired with militaristic choreography, and supercuts of queer intimacy in all its joyous forms, taking you on a steady high you don’t want to come down from.
