troye sivan: wild ep review by elilai davis

Troye Sivan is a 19 year old Australian former actor, current artist and youtube sensation. Troye first made his youtube channel in October 2007 and since then has gained an incredible fanbase of almost 4,000,000 subscribers! Recently, he released his new EP, “WILD” and let me tell you, it is incredible! If you thought his last EP, “TRXYE”, was good, wait until you hear this.

On September 4, 2015, “Wild”, came out. It consists of 6 songs, “WILD”, “BITE”, “FOOLS”, “EASE”, “THE QUIET”, and “DKLA”. Each song has a very chill feeling to it. His songs aren’t filled with meaningless lyrics or made just to draw attention, they’re genuine and you can literally feel the emotion in them. My personal favorite songs would have to be “FOOLS” and “THE QUIET”.

“FOOLS” starts off very smooth and slow leading into a very chilled, upbeat tone. The lyrics contain a message that everyone can relate to, “Only fools fall for you”. Anyone who has dealt with a bad breakup, and even those who haven’t, can understand the emotion in the song.

“THE QUIET” starts of with a chill beat and leads into an upbeat sound. In this, he talks about the feeling of silence after being so used to the noise. This song does have a similar sound to “FOOLS”, but delivers a different message. Overall, both songs are great.

Troye Sivan is a very talented artist. He is very driven and never seems to disappoint.
