Liberty – Troye Sivan
Donβt be mistaken, this article isnβt about a new track called Liberty by Aussi superstar Troye Sivan. Itβs the exact opposite, as you might have expected when an artist from the other side of the world is involved. So, letβs talk about Libertyβ¦
Liberty is the artist name of Danish indie-pop artist Mattias Kolstrup. He is the former lead singer of innovative electro-rock outfit DΓΊnΓ©. As a solo artist, he channels the power of rock, introvert pop and the energy of a long lost punk-era in his music and style. Since releasing his solo debut album Havenβt Felt This Great Since 1988 last year, he put out five new tracks. His up-tempo single Troye Sivan is the latest of the bunch.
Kolstrup explains: βThis is a song about my – not so secret – man crush on the one and only, TroyeΒ Sivan. (β¦) While writing it, it somehow took a life on itβs own incorporating themes of the historic religious opposition to the idea of people of the same sex finding each other attractive. Cause after all: whatβs Jesus got to do with it? Itβs all in the spirit of love, fascination and life.β
