How I Wrote That Album

Interview0 Comments

Sivan talks about how he wrote his album Blue Neighbourhood on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This is a web exclusive for The Tonight Show’s YouTube channel.

I wrote it in a lot of places like garages and apartments and bedrooms and hotel rooms and stuff like that. One of the songs the power went out during the writing session in the hotel room and we had a bus show up outside that was powering the whole hotel and I’m pretty sure you can still hear in the song a very low hum of this bus.

Blue NeighbourhoodSivan releases his debut album Blue Neighbourhood. The album is a collaboration between Sivan and artists including Betty Who, Broods and Jack Antonoff.

It was just about keeping it honest and not really holding anything back. Really it’s just things that I thought, things I’ve written about life, things that I’ve thought about doing and not doing. Making it authentic is really important.

TRXYESivan releases TRXYE. The EP features his single Happy Little Pill as well as four additional songs, and is a collaboration with producers Tat Tong, SLUMS, and Alex JL Hiew.

For me, I’ve seen around a lot on the internet people censoring swear words with an ‘x’ or an asterisk. It was just an interesting concept to me. I felt the words looked really, really cool as well. It was visually striking.
