In a Dream

Troye Sivan returned to the spotlight in August 2020 with In a Dream, a five-track extended play that serves as a raw, emotional bridge between his debut and future projects. Released just over two years after his acclaimed studio album Bloom, this collection captures a specific moment of vulnerability during the early days of the global pandemic. Sivan shifted the release date forward from late 2020 to August, deciding that the world needed these fresh, unpolished feelings sooner rather than later.

The project leans heavily into dance-pop production while maintaining an intimate, confessional lyricism that defines his songwriting style. Critics praised the EP for its sonic experimentation and honest storytelling, noting how Sivan navigated complex feelings about love, loss, and self-discovery without relying on polished pop clichés. The record features three singles: "Take Yourself Home", "Easy", and "Rager Teenager!", each offering a different shade of the artist's evolving sound. [edit]
