Troye Sivan embraces relaxed ’90s dance textures on his fourth album
Troye Sivan has released his fourth studio album, 'She's the Best', after singles that included a Nicole Kidman-starring video and a house track built on a Madonna sample. The record takes a more subdued approach than those tracks, drawing on 1990s dance styles with production help from Jack Antonoff and George Daniel. NME's review finds it occasionally drifts, but says its melodic songwriting and intimate late-night mood generally work well.
Troye Sivan's fourth studio album, She's the Best, arrived October 9, 2026, via Interscope. Its title track's video featured Nicole Kidman, while second single "Party" drew on Madonna's "Music." Jack Antonoff and George Daniel contributed production. The full record is quieter and looser than those singles, exploring grunge-tinged 1990s dance.
Reviewer Nick Levine noted nods to Madonna's Erotica on "Canada Dry," Air's "Sexy Boy" on "Le Boy," and a Forest For The Trees sample on "I Do This For You." He found "FF" meandering but praised melodic writing and late-night intimacy, citing "Embarrassingly," "Sex Star," and Lily-Rose Depp's French intro on "Lost Time."
The album may reinforce interest in 1990s dance and alt-pop among Sivan's listeners, and could introduce younger fans to referenced acts like Madonna, Air, and Forest For The Trees. Its collaborations with Antonoff and Daniel may draw broader pop audiences. Because the record favors intimate, late-night moods over immediate hits, its commercial reach could be narrower, but its critical conversation around intimate pop storytelling and nostalgic production may still shape playlists and fan communities.
