IT’S SO GOOD: Troye Sivan’s dance anthem about forbidden love ‘Rush’ hits 21 in UK charts

TROYE Sivan, the South African-born Australian singer, songwriter, and actor, has made waves in the UK music industry with his smash-hit single Rush – a banger fresh from Ibiza after blaring out across Gay clubs in London and Manchester – as he tells the tale of irresistible forbidden love. 

Released as part of his debut studio album, “Blue Neighbourhood,” in 2015, the track has become a popular hit years after its release and “Rush” is a song that delves into themes of love, longing, and the complexities of human connection.
