    Não vi nada demais no Blue Neighbourhood. A voz do Troye Sivan é muito bonita e sexy, mas as músicas soam repetitivas, todas parecem a mesma coisa, salvando-se as exceções "Wild", "Youth" e "Swimming Pools".

    Normally I don't like male singers, but Troye actually has a nice, soothing, sexy voice. Blue Neighbourhood is a surprisingly mature album considering how young he is.

    It's exciting to hear someone so young and confident on the cusp of greatness.

    Blue Neighbourhood features soft-touch synths and booming drum machines worthy of the next Lorde or Taylor Swift record.
