Troye Sivan Dishes on His Upcoming Second Album

Troye Sivan Dishes on His Upcoming Second Album

Troye Sivan wears a plain white tee with leather pants while posing on the cover of Wonderland magazine‘s Spring Issue 2018, out on newsstands now.

The 22-year-old singer opened up to the mag about his musical influences, his upcoming album, and why he doesn’t want to be considered a gay icon. Check it:

On being considered a gay icon: “Knowing when to shut up, I will never understand the struggles of a trans woman of color growing up. What can I do as an empathetic person? How can I help? That’s why I politely reject the term ‘gay icon’. I would never wanna put that on myself.”

On his adolescent influences: “When I think about the songs that I grew up listening to that made me feel… gay, it was mostly straight women: Cher, Madonna, Miley, Robyn, Lady Gaga. Those are my gay icons, which is a bit strange. I would have loved to have had more queer music growing up. That would have been nice.”

On his forthcoming TBA second album: “I heard something about how when an artist reaches their peak, the thing that’s in their head winds up being the same as the thing they’re creating. This album is the first time in my life I’ve been able to do that. If people don’t like it I’m sh-t outta luck.”

FYI: Troye is wearing all Coach in the shoot.
