Troye Sivan has shared a new single called Got Me Started.
Following Rush, it serves as the second preview of the Australian artist's third album, 'Something To Give Each Other', due out on October 13 via Capitol Records.
Produced by Ian Kirkpatrick, the club-ready pop track samples Shooting Stars, a tune by Sydney electronic duo Bag Raiders. Sivan said:
"When we were writing this song, I was emphatic about using Shooting Stars — I just kept humming it in the studio. It’s a huge sample and was a big ask; and I knew that they had never approved it in the past. So I’m over the moon about the opportunity to sample that track because this song is iconic to me.
"And then we have Ian Kirkpatrick on production, who is a genius. I love his work - he had this plan to record the vocal at a slower speed and then speed it up, and ultimately that’s what you hear in the chorus. I instantly loved the way it sounded."
