Troye Sivan is the first guest in Las Culturistas’ new podcast studio, where hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang give viewers a tour of their newly fitted-out space while chatting with the Grammy-nominated artist.
As one YouTube commenter put it, “My gay Mount Rushmore.”
The wide-ranging interview moves from giving “Tro” a new nickname to volume loss, Sivan’s dislike of musicals and the story behind the iconic “Troye baby” voice note from “What’s the Time Where You Are?”
In one particularly delightful moment, Rogers, Yang and Sivan silently watch the video for the unreleased second single from Sivan’s upcoming fourth studio album, She’s the Best. The segment makes a strong case for always asking Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang to watch your unreleased music videos.
Troye Sivan’s “I Don’t Think So, Honey!”
For Las Culturistas’ all-important “I Don’t Think So, Honey!” segment, Sivan offers a blunt hot take: “Singing.”
“I am not fishing for compliments. I’m not that good at it and I’m OK with that. But I think sometimes I will be in the car and I’ll sing (and it’s just me) and something so diabolical will come out of my mouth that I’m like, I truly scammed the world. And the fact that I have the same job as Beyoncé is just an insane thought,” he says.
“But now I will say I care a lot about tone and storytelling, so I understand, I get it. The real magic though is when somebody has tone, storytelling, and they can sing sing, like Ariana Grande, Whitney Houston, Sade,” Sivan adds. “But I’m just saying the idea of me doing karaoke, or singing at any point where I don’t absolutely have to, I will not do it and it’s not that fun. It’s fun at my shows, because I’m in control. But any other time, absolutely not, no thank you.”
