Looking? Australian pop star Troye Sivan just dropped his new single “My My My!”, and it comes with an admirably lurid music video full of sleazy shenanigans.
It’s directed by Grant Singer, who also helmed Lorde’s “Green Light” and Taylor and Zayn’s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.”

The video features Sivan stridently lurking around back alleys and cruising a steady procession of seedy men. (Look for a cameo by porn star Brody Blomqvist).
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“‘My My My!’ is a song of liberation, freedom, and love,” says Sivan. “Throw all inhibition to the wind, be present in your body, love wholeheartedly, move the way you’ve always wanted to, and dance the way you feel—hopefully even to this song!”
After the video was released, he wrote on Twitter:
“guys legit im just scrolling through all of your comments and tweets and articles and i can’t stop smiling. so much more to come, too. 2018 is gonna be so fun!!!”

not sure what’s worse, the seizure or having to suffer thru the full flick another prissy boi-queen.

Try watching it with the sound off. It’s hilariously bad.

Bad video..song very autotuned…no real melody to speak of and no hook to pull you in ..tween girls will buy it..they probably make up majority of his concerts..even though he’s 100% out.

Not my cup of tea as far as poppy boy music c but I love seeing openly gay young performers. So thumbs up and good for you.
PS For the record, nothing scandalous about the video.

God. The flashing lights were totally stupid and useless.

Video is too busy for such a calm song. *Heaven* is much better.

Oh boy! The bitter self hating homos on this site are extra sour today. I love Troye and I think the video and song are fun. I like this era of having GAY ASS HELL pop music that doesn’t have to pretend to be anything else.

Exactly.

didnt enjoy it to be honest but i do commend him on pushing boundaries… only one thing wrong about the write up. he is a South African born (now living in Australia) artist.

This isn’t the Troye I *knew*.
The likeable young adult vanished for a year and what came back is a complete anathema to what he was before.

Cruising seedy back alleys and dirty bathrooms for closet case sex isn’t exactly my definition of “liberation, freedom, and love”. But whatever. Everything is twisted nowadays.
And since when do music videos need seizure warnings?
jay_kay
I loved the song , it has a good beat to it ..

It’s not the light flashes that will cause seizures it’s his spastic uncoordinated dancing….
KaiserVonScheiss
The lyrics don’t indicate anything about back alley cruising or such dangerous behaviour. They really seem to speak of being with one person. The lyrics indicate being with the same person multiple times. “I die every night with you.”
The lyrics don’t seem to be in line with the video. Then again, most music videos tend to be nonsensical.

How sad.

A video that is missing about 1/3 or more of the scenes, when there is nothing to see but a flash or something, does little to complement a song. This one gets the proverbial D- grade, even if the song is better than that.

This is the first time I have ever heard of Troye or heard of his music. After reading the article about him I expected the video to be better. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the song. I just can’t stand dark vids. If I watch a video, I want to SEE it.
