Watch: Troye Sivan’s heart-wrenching ‘Talk Me Down’ video
By Will Stroude
Troye Sivan has unveiled the heart-wrenching video for his latest track Talk Me Down.
The video marks the final installment in the Aussie singer’s ‘Blue Neighbourhood’ video trilogy, following the release of Fools and his upcoming debut album’s lead single, Wild.
After those two videos charted the blossoming romance of two childhood friends who are torn apart by homophobia, Talk Me Down brings the story to its heartbreaking conclusion.
After his latest EP Wild hit the top five on the UK Albums chart earlier this summer, Troye recently announced his debut album Blue Neighbourhood, which is set for release on December 4.
Speaking to Out about the striking video series, the 20-year-old said: “These songs are about boys. I think some people think I’m trying to make this big statement by having a boy in these videos. It’s like, ‘What, am I supposed to have a girl?’”
“I don’t think [my fans] are going to be particularly shocked by it — the goal for me was actually to reach the people around them,” he said. “It makes me so frustrated [thinking about] the potential we’ve already lost in the war against LGBT suicide.
“So much of that happens because of the way those around LGBT people deal with the news. I hope my fans’ parents see it, or they’re watching it on their laptops and their brothers or friends see it.”
