I knew couple of Troye songs, but he'd always been on the fringes of my interest. It was probably the song that made me care about him at all, actually. I went with the The Good Side, because it was actually my most played song of all the songs in the rate. So, it came down between 'Stay Down' & 'The Good Side' for my 11. My fave album in the rate was Dirty Computer, but I was paralyzed trying to choose an 11 from it.

I didn't discover it until the rate, so I declared it was 'too new to me' at the time, so I refrained from bumping it to my 11, (in case of recency bias.) I hoped it wouldn't be this song, though.įull disclosure, choosing my 11 for this rate was initially very tough, but if I was to pick now 'Molecules' by Hayley would be my unbothered 11. Based on all the calls for Troye to vacate, I knew he'd be leaving soon. The ending of this song is a mini-epic… and what bumped it to my 11 for this rate. I’m a pretty big fan of Duncan Sheik (I got to wax poetic about him in the 90’s one-hit-wonder rate, yay) & this song really reminds me of his best moments. It’s the song that made me start to be a fan of him, honestly. “The Good Side” shows Troye from a far more mature perspective, while his lyricism has reached a new level of perfection. King Bruno The twinkling synths from his past are gone and have been replaced by melancholic strings and distorted electronics. Verandi Wouldn't even make a good b-side. Allie, her impact!ĬonstantinoThis has a nice refrain but it’s about 90 seconds too long. Posh Spears If more of his songs were like this I wouldn’t hate on him as much. The vocals and lyrics aren't really cutting it for me still but eh. Really enjoyed the production and electronic flourishes throughout the track. I thought it was my least favorite of the songs on Bloom but this clicked with me a bit more. The Hot Rock Okay so this one grew on me a bit. The matter of fact vocals recognising that he's walked away unscathed perfectly complement the swelling instrumental, with regret and guilt bubbling away under the surface. People say Troye can't emote, but this track manages to really make it work. those dead ass vocals and that little elves dancing round the campfire production. Untitled i can't stand this kind of shit. Unfortunately he does not quite have the range for it. Reboot I find myself sort of wishing I liked this song more as it sounds like the sort of song I SHOULD love. In his first album his slowies were sonically cut with the up-tempos, here they don't make sense. Untouchable Ace Why did he want to make a 70's demo for an album track? Is that on trend? It's stuff like this that teally dragged the album down. Slaybellz This is basically like a modern Simon & Garfunkel song. This makes me so, so melancholic but it’s kind of a cathartic experience as well. Ufint Since I was the one left on the bad side of things after the roughest breakup of my life this is kinda hard to listen to.

In an album full of pop star posturing and questionable lyrical takes, it’s nice how straightforward and honest “The Good Side” is. Maybe in time you’ll talk again, but for now you both need distance. You could text them but you know it’s not fair. I love when he references how odd it is after a break up that this person you used to talk to incessantly is suddenly unreachable. However, sidestepping that mess, Troye gave a rather nice lyrical breakdown to Genius. Many fans believe this ex is Conor Franta-another gay Youtuber- and there are A LOT of feelings about “Tronnor” online. Troye has explained that the song is an attempt to honestly talk about a break up where he came out rather unscathed and his ex was left hurting. Despite its obvious Call Me By Your Name roleplaying, it’s a strikingly moving song and the most emotionally resonating song off of Bloom. He debuted it with “My My My!” back in the 1800’s on SNL and it’s quieter tone and production flourishes calmed all us Blue Neighbourhood stans that he hadn’t forgotten his bread and butter. Ms Sivan gets her Ms Sufjan Stevens on in this remorseful ode to a lover left. But I didn't call because it wouldn't be fair
