I don't know why but it seems like a real struggle to balance "fun" with actually having something to say. George Michael didn't die for this.

Very true. When George Michael wrote about cruising, he made (1) the greatest pop song of all time, Fastlove, a groovy sexy disco track about being a closeted celebrity having casual sex with strangers to ease the pain of having lost his secret lover to AIDs, and (2) the superb Outside, a bold reclamation of his identity and sexuality after having been publicly outted when he was arrested while cruising in a public bathroom.

This is literally just a list of stereotypical cruising spots repeated for nearly 4 minutes.

I'll keep my thoughts to myself about how queer public figures "embracing their queerness" always seems to go a certain way.

very spiritually israeli to make your sexuality the only interesting thing about your artistic identity

this whole sentence is reprehensible, btw

I knew being closely associated with Charli XCX would ruin him. She is a plague on the entertainment industry.

A swiftie calling Charli a plague on the entertainment industry when Taylor helped unleash Ella, Stella and Gracie onto the world.

This probably becoming his worst album yet. Just listening to the singles so far. I hope i enjoy 1 from the album. This sounds like background music for gay orgy bathhouse

The Madonna sample saved the song but still pretty mid overall. The whole talking over beats thing really doesn't suit him. Video was good though, good on him for normalising eating ass.

"Dance music sounds very different on a dance floor than it does coming out of your laptop speaker," Sivan said of "Party" in press materials. "The repetition becomes almost hypnotic, and I wanted to play with structure in that way."

He said log off, losers and dance. explains why y'all hate this

Ironic of you to say when you are posting on a pop forum and been disliking posts in this thread for the past hour. Log off and go dance, sis

Compared to Rush and Got Me Started, these songs are so bad.

Why this site was already loud of why Sam's "embracing their "queerness" was their downfall but I guess good ol Troye will garner mercy.

All I hear is Potty!

"Potty in the bush, Potty under the bridge"

This is a bit of a downgrade from She's the Best, and what a waste of Madonna's Music.

He can do better!

Great GREAT video, love the song production, the hook... is definitely there

off topic: why are people talking about CHARLI in a TROYE thread? i don't see her credited anywhere in this song, what does she have to do with this?

people saying "ohhh she ruined him" as if Troye's a little baby who can't make decisions for himself and is easily influence by anyone

Well I'm gonna be part of the vast minority that enjoys this, its a good vibe. You people are doing way too much and the hate is very forced. Calling this unlistenable is such an exaggeration, have you seen the songs that are topping the charts currently? I'm glad he is having fun, more people should try it!

did you read the full q'? not beating the Hive allegations anyway, hm, i don't like the repetitiveness, the charli-fication of troye...

but just like with STB, underneath, the production sounds so awesome! and with the M sample! just write more lyrics and sing them, king

his breathing is so hot when the sample kicks in

i didn't need to read the "full q" because the person was clearly talking about the TRACK in the thread about the TRACK. you are the only one who went off topic and when myself and 2 other users pointed out that this song is upbeat and dancy you said "oh i actually haven't heard this song"

well now you HAVE, and as you can see, its just as popper-induced as rush. and thats NOT why people dislike it.

also the personal attack calling me dumb was entirely unnecessary.

I-

I honestly love everything about this 10000% brainless banger, but we need to be honest, without the sample, it's a nothingburger.

I like it but it's a bit repetitive and too much talking.

This is good. Might stick with GP.

I, personally, hate how he says "party". I know it's his accent but not even Adele would pronounce it that way for a song.

The Music sample is godly.

Madonna and Troye at VMAs confirmed.

It might not be his not be his intention, but it definitely sounds like he's mimicking brat

This songs tries to be Club classics with the partying and repetitive verses and sts tittle track tries to be 360 with the lyrics being homages to women in their life, charli being herself, gabrielle and julia and sts being whatever women like to have cum stain on her dress

I really like him as an artist (i wish he came with sweat tour on my country) and i do hope i like a song from the album bc usually, his singles are the best songs on the album and i have not enjoyed both singles released so far, i have very low expectations now

Party in my bush oh this crabs anthem

The video is literally Rush in a medieval setting like

The song is okay, not gonna talk **** about it because it might grow on me like STB.

I like it! No it's not a nuanced statement but who cares, sometimes you just want to put out a vibe. What an expensiva sample and interpolation though, I thought it was just the vocoder. Get that budget sis!

It's okay! I **** with it!

Where are the melodies?

i don't wanna be like "charli is influencing him!! (derogatory)" because charli is one of my favorite artists and she's doing a lot of cool stuff recently

BUT i have to say this kind of song structure is def inspired by her lol she loves a repetitive song with mostly one section being played over and over (b2b, next level charli, 2007) but at least those songs have a little something else going on, a little bridge or something. the only thing this has is... a sample

That's the problem, these songs are album tracks not singles. I like the song but after She's the best is not a great choice to get people to preorder the album

Why party in the bush repeated so much?

Good video and Madonna sample.

this is actual trash

i know we gays will stan/defend literally almost anything, but please...

what a disgraceful use of a madonna sample, this era is full of misses for me so far

its cute and the video is good, but damn how much did this single cost with that sample and video
