Troye Sivan has announced his fourth album, She’s the Best, out on October 9th. He’s also revealed the album’s title track, along with a music video starring fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman. She’s the Best follows Sivan’s acclaimed 2023 LP Something to Give Each Other and serves as his first release since signing to Interscope. Pre-orders are ongoing. “She’s the Best” is the album’s first offering, and it finds Sivan paying tribute to the ladies, the queens, and all femme-identifying people; he helmed the track with regular collaborators Leland and Styalz Fuego, plus Jack Antonoff and The 1975’s George Daniel. It’s a bit of a stylistic switch-up from his prior work, employing a trip-hop beat, warm, distorted guitar, record scratches, spoken word vocals, and a general late ’90s vibe.
Music Video and Inspiration
The song also arrives with a great music video directed by Gordon von Steiner, who also directed the videos for prior songs “Rush,” “Got Me Started,” and more. The new video stars Nicole Kidman (among a bevy of other women) in a collagist blend of women working, commuting, living their daily lives, and having fun. Inspired by the spirit of 1980s queer New York, the visual appropriately echoes the song’s theme and serves as a dedication to women of all backgrounds.
Recent Projects and Nominations
Since releasing Something to Give Each Other, Sivan embarked on the “Sweat Tour” alongside Charli xcx and continued building his fashion brand Tsu Lange Yor. He scored his first-ever Grammy nominations for the project, with lead single “Rush” being nominated for Best Dance Pop Recording and Best Music Video. Consequence named the single “One of Your Girls” one of the Best Songs of 2023.
