這位歌手賦予他第二張專輯恰到好處的合成音效、柔軟的聲線和微妙而成熟的情感

It’s easy to feel charmed by Troye Sivan. The gentle lilt of his voice warmly hugs the gentle synth-pop beats he opts for in his songs. On?Bloom, Sivan’s sophomore album, he adds a touch more vigor and nuance to the loveliest qualities of his debut album?Blue Neighbourhood.

?特洛伊·希文就是那個萬人迷。他那輕柔輕快的嗓音熱情地?fù)肀е\用于歌曲中那柔和的合成流行節(jié)拍。在希文的第二張專輯《Bloom》中，能看到他在首?！禕lue Neighbourhood》那富有可愛特質(zhì)的基礎(chǔ)上增添了一抹曼妙的活力。

The tender naivety in Sivan’s voice pairs perfectly with an album that tackles a variety of First Times: sexual, emotional and otherwise.?Bloom?negotiates what it means to give and receive passion, and Sivan finds himself channeling both innocence and weary maturity as he navigates blossoming feelings, broken hearts and the personal growth that stems from both experiences.

? 希文的聲音真誠完美地配合了這專輯的各種第一次：性，情感和更多的驚喜?！禕loom》展現(xiàn)了給予熱情和接受熱情兩者的意義，而希文發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在處理自己的天真和疲憊的成熟時，這相悖的兩者造就了他那綻放的情感、破碎的心和個人的成長。

On opening track “Seventeen,” he swims in teenage lust for an anthemic and poised reflection on having sex for the first time with someone older and the complicated feelings that follow — “Boy becomes a man now/Tell that man to slow down/He’ll just do whatever/Do whatever he wants.” He gives the experience a more positive spin on the intoxicating “Bloom,” a tender and upbeat moment of puppy love.

?首曲“Seventeen”中我們能發(fā)現(xiàn)，他在青少年時期就對第一次與比自己更年長的人發(fā)生性關(guān)系產(chǎn)生了強烈的興趣，并泰然自若地面對了這一情感，但隨之而來的是更為復(fù)雜的感覺——“Boy becomes a man now/Tell that man to slow down/He’ll just do whatever/Do whatever he wants.（當(dāng)年的男孩已成長為男人，但請告訴那位男人再慢點成熟，他才好做自己所想。）”。他在歌曲“Bloom”中為這段經(jīng)歷注入了更為積極的元素，展現(xiàn)了一段柔情似火的早戀時光。

The album’s ballads are hits and misses. Early release “The Good Side” remains a sleepy acoustic moment that strives for Sufjan Stevens’ earnestness without totally hitting the mark. Later, however, the album hits its highest note with the piano-driven “Postcard,” a heart-wrenching tale of a neglectful lover who refuses to return the attention, love and care Sivan willingly gives to him.

? 這張專輯的歌曲大受歡迎。前期發(fā)行的“The Good Side”中還是個昏昏欲睡的聲音，像似靠攏Sufjan Stevens，但又自成一體。后來，這張專輯在鋼琴的推動下，在“Postcard”中達到高潮，這首歌講述了一個令人心碎的故事，一個疏忽大意的情人拒絕回饋希文曾自愿給予他的關(guān)注、愛與關(guān)心。

Musically,?Bloom?plays it fairly safe, awash in the aforementioned gentle synths as well as ambient drum fills. The golden ticket is in the details, piercing scenes of lips that taste like Lucky Strike cigarettes (“Lucky Strike”) or the metaphorical plums and tangerines of “Plum.” Well beyond the already stellar dismissal of heteronormative storylines in pop love stories, Sivan finds a wealth of ways to bring about fresh reflections on age-old themes with undeniable charisma.

《Bloom》在音樂處理上相對安全保守，沉浸在前文提到的輕柔的合成音效和鼓聲中。其一大成功之處就在它的細(xì)節(jié)處理上，能感受到希文嘴唇上有電影《開運鑒定團》里那種香煙的味道，或者有“Plum”的隱喻。在流行愛情故事中，異性戀的故事情節(jié)已不占主流，而希文卻有自己的方法，他以不可抵擋的魅力，為古老的主題帶來新的思考。
