The Story Of Troye Sivan(P54-P59)
这次介绍的是Wild EP和首张正式专辑《Blue Neighbourhood》
我永远爱的蓝邻居！！！ 难以言表的爱
Let's go！
Wild was initially released with the intention of giving people a taste of what was to come from Blue Neighbourhood.
《Wild》是最初发行是为了让人们初听《Blue Neighbourhood》的。
Troye announced the release in mid-2015 at VidCon in Anaheim, California.
戳鹅再2015年中旬的加利福尼亚州的阿纳海姆举办的红人大会（Video Conference，很多YouTube创作者表演交流和展示自己的作品）上宣布发行这张EP。
At the time he described it as a six-track introduction to the music he was planning to release later down the line.
当时，他把这张EP描述为他计划稍后发行的音乐的六首序曲。
When Wild was released in October that year, it went to number one in Australia, becoming the first EP to achieve this feat.
当《Wild》在2015年10月发行后，在澳洲排名直奔第一，成为第一个实现这一壮举的EP。
Even Taylor Swift herself was a massive fan, tweeting:"GO TROYE, WILD IS STUNNING AND AWESOME(yes caps lock is necessary here)."
甚至泰勒斯威夫特自己都是戳鹅忠实的粉丝，发推说：“戳宝冲冲冲！《Wild》真是无比出色令人惊叹（是的，这里的大写都是有必要的！！！就像每句话都加感叹号一样！！！）”
This crazy compliment wasn't lost on Troye, who has since admitted he had her in mind when writing the song "Wild".
这个疯狂的赞誉在戳鹅心中不会消失，后来他承认在写《Wild》这首歌的时候脑子里想的就是她。
The mini-album skyrocketed to #1 in Australia and #5 in the UK and US.
这张迷你专辑销量也迅速窜至澳洲榜1和美国英国的榜5。（毕竟老家，戳鹅在老家可多奖项了）

一些关于Wild版本的图片和戳鹅的宣传图
Heavily influenced by what he was listening to at the time, Blue Neighbourhood was recorded mostly in Los Angeles and has been Troye's biggest masterpiece to date.
深受他当时所听音乐的影响，《蓝色街区》主要是在洛杉矶录制的，是戳鹅迄今为止最大的杰作。
Gone are the days of EPs with four or five songs - this is a full-blown album with 16 tracks, each displaying yet another private insight into Troye's inner world.
只有四五首歌的EP的日子一去不复返了-现在这是一张有着16首歌的完整成熟的专辑，每一首歌都显示出戳鹅内心世界的对现实的另一种私人的洞察。
Made up of songs from Wild as well as new tracks, Blue Neighbourhood is a synth-fused collection of catchy hooks, ethereal sound bites and persuasive vocals.
这首专辑由《Wild》和一些新歌组成，《蓝色街区》是一个集朗朗上口，空灵和有说服力的声音的合成电子专辑。
As a debut first album, Blue Neighbourhood attracted plenty of ears, especially when the single "Youth" dropped and was placed on the Billboard Hot 100.
作为首张专辑，《蓝色街区》吸引了很多人的注意，特别是当单曲《Youth》（多少人的入坑曲呀！！虽然是我的入坑曲，但是我更喜欢SUBURBIA!!!aha aha~）被推出后,进入Billboard榜单前一百。（前100都算火爆单曲）
AS an extra treat, fans were later gifted an accompanying video as well as a dreamy, upbeat and party-worthy remix from New York producer Kasum.
作为额外的奖励，粉丝们随后收到了一段伴随的视频，以及来自纽约的制作人Kasum制作的梦幻、欢快、派对级的混音版。
Let's put it this way: it's totally the kind of tune you want at your next house party.
让我们这么说吧：这绝对是你下一次家庭派对想放的歌。
A musical journey filled with every kind of emotion, Blue Neighbourhood features heartfelt lyrics, cutting-edge production and a swoon-like quality that left us all daydreaming of our blue neighbourhoods.
这段音乐之旅充满了各种各样的情绪，《蓝色街区》有着表达内心，引人共鸣的歌词，尖端的制作和令人神魂颠倒的质量让我们都对我们的蓝色街区遐想不已。
The appeal of the album also came from the fact that every track was autobiographical.
这张专辑的吸引力还来自于每首歌曲都是自传体的。（每一首歌曲都表达了一种情感或描述了一个故事）
Fans who pre-ordered the cinematic album instantly received the track "Talk Me Down", which was produced by Emile Haynie(who has worked with Bruno Mars and Lana Del Rey in the past).
预购了这张电影专辑的歌迷立即收到了 "Talk Me Down "这首歌，这首歌由Emile Haynie制作（他过去曾与Bruno Mars和Lana Del Rey合作）。（让我看看有谁不知道蓝邻居三部曲的。Wild -- Fools -- Talk Me Down）
With Troye contributing to everything from the lyrics to the melodies and production of the record, the album took nearly two years of hard work before it was at a place he was completely happy with.
从歌词到旋律，再到制作，戳鹅的贡献无所不有，这张专辑花了近两年的努力，才达到他完全满意的水平。
Troye specifically took his time on this one.
戳鹅在这点上特地花了很多心思。
Having control over most aspects of the album process is a big step for someone so young and starting out in their musical career but as we know, Troye has always been determined.
对于一个刚刚开始音乐生涯的年轻人来说，能够掌控专辑制作过程的大部分方面是一大步，但正如我们所知，戳鹅一直都很坚定。
Keen to learn as quickly as he could, Troye admitted it's been stressful but fun going from working in his bedroom to presenting to boardrooms full of people.
他尽他所能的快速学习，戳鹅承认这很有压力但是从卧室工作到充满人的会议室展示给大家是充满乐趣的。
He's also benefited greatly from having years of trial and error up his sleeve, thanks to his YouTube account.
他也在他的唱片多次的试错中受益匪浅，多亏了他的YouTube账号。
Troye has been able to work out what his fans like and don't like, all while building a career as a budding songwriter.
戳鹅能够了解他的粉丝们喜欢什么，不喜欢什么，同时作为一个刚萌芽的作曲家建立一个职业生涯。
Troye was very lucky that his label trusted him to steer his musical ship in the right direction(this is the same label that represents everyone from Halsey to Best Coast and Sam Smith.)
戳鹅非常幸运，他的厂牌信任他能让音乐航船在正轨上行驶（从Halsey到Best Coast再到Sam Smith，所有人都是这个厂牌）
Troye later admitted he preferred this album to his EPs as it allowed him to explore themes that were both dark and light.
戳鹅后来表示他比起EP更喜欢这张专辑，因为这允许他去探讨光与暗的主题。
While Troye's music sounds unlike any other artist's at the moment, it's easy to see and hear why he calls the likes of Amy Winehouse, Lorde and Frank Ocean his inspirations.
虽然戳鹅的音乐听起来与目前其他艺术家的音乐不同，但很容易看到和听到为什么他把Amy Winehouse、Lorde和Frank Ocean等人称为他的灵感来源。
His goals for the future? To take more risks with his sound and bring cool back to the world of pop.
他的未来目标是啥捏？用他的声音去冒更多的险为这个世界的流行音乐带来很酷很酷的感觉。
Chatting to rookiemag.com, Troye disclosed the album was entirely a new level of personal for him.
在rookiemag.com的采访中，戳鹅透露这张专辑对他来说是一个全新的个人境界。
While this seems almost impossible(the boy's shared so much with us already), it seems there was still more to Troye we didn't know about.
虽然这看起来是不可能的（因为这个男孩已经分享太多给我们了），这张专辑看起来还有很多我们所不知道关于戳鹅的。
"I just completely treated this album like a diary over the last year and a half," he said."Any time I was concerned or stressed about anything, or going through something - whether it was being away from home and family or relationship stuff - I turned to this album for a form of release, and poured my everything into it."
“在过去的一年半里，我完全把这张专辑当成了一本日记”，戳鹅说，“任何我对任何事感到担忧和焦虑，或经历了一些事情，不管是离开家和家人，还是人际关系的时候，我寻求在这张专辑中释放这种感觉，把我的一切都倾注在这张专辑里。”
Treating the album and songwriting process as a form of confession, Troye was able to not only create amazing music but also find a sensse of therapy in getting his thoughts out onto paper and into the studio.
把专辑和写歌的过程当作一种表达情绪，诉说事实的形式，戳鹅不仅能够创造出惊人的音乐，而且在把他的想法写到纸上和进入录音室的过程中找到了一种治疗的感觉。
"I TURNED TO THIS ALBUMFOR A FORM OF RELEASE, AND POURED MY EVERYTHING INTO IT."
”我寻求在这张专辑中释放这种感觉，把我的一切都倾注在这张专辑里。“
Not content with having a say in the sound and the production aspects of the album, Troye also had a hand in creating the beautiful adesign and colour scheme of the record.
不满足于在专辑的声音和制作方面拥有发言权，戳鹅还参与了这张专辑的精美广告设计和色彩方案的创作。
He told rookiemag.com that his aim was to make it look beautiful, as he has always liked to keep things looking "pretty".
他告诉rookiemag.com他的目标是让它看起来很漂亮，因为他总是喜欢让事情看起来“漂亮”。
He also worked without the help of an art director or creative director.
他也不靠艺术总监或创意总监的帮助就工作。
"I love the visual side of creating an album - I love everything from the artwork and videos to styling clothes," he said.
“我喜欢创作专辑的视觉效果——我喜欢从艺术作品、视频到服装造型的一切”，戳鹅说。
When it came to the writing process for Blue Neighbourhood, Troye had a very precose idea of what he wanted to create.
当谈到《蓝色街区》的写作过程时，戳鹅对他像创造的有非常明确的想法。
He knew from the beginning that he wanted the album cover to look like one of the streets in his suburb back in Perth.
他从一开始就知道，他希望专辑封面看起来像他在珀斯郊区的街道。
His love affair with his hometown has been an ongoing theme in Troye's art.
他对家乡的热爱一直是戳鹅艺术创作的主题。
Coming from a small Jewish community and a city of roughly 2 million people, Troye has admitted he'd been quite sheltered in his upbringing.
来自一个大概有两百万人口的犹太小社区，戳鹅承认在他的成长过程中受到了很好的保护。
This, however, is what led him to create such powerful music.
然而，这正是他创造出如此强大的音乐的原因。
He told Dazeddigital.com that "all of these stories I have written come from that place".
他告诉Dazeddigital.com，“我所有写出来的故事都来自于那里”。
These stories have proven to be immensely popular, as the album and subsequent singles have raced up the charts and Troye has had millions of plays on Spotify!
这些故事被证明是非常受欢迎的，因为这张专辑和随后的单曲迅速上升到排行榜上，戳鹅在Spotify上有数百万的播放量!
DID YOU KNOW: Troye worked with an artist named Hsiao-Ron Cheng to create the artwork for Wild.
你知道吗！；戳鹅和一位叫Hsiao-Ron Cheng的艺术家一起创作《Wild》这幅艺术品。（Hsiao-Ron Cheng#鄭曉嶸▪️1986年出生的中国台湾数字艺术家。2012年她开始以自由插画师的身份工作，很快受到了国际上的广泛关注。她同时也是Troye Sivan的《Wild》和《Blue Neighbourhood》专辑封面作者）
He loved her work so much he recruited her to create the cover for Blue Neighbourhood!
他非常爱她的工作，所以邀请她一起创作《蓝色街区》的封面！
Feel like you've seen Hsiao-Ron's work before?
感觉你以前见过Hsiao-Ron的作品？
You have! She's designed many a beautiful cover for magazines like Frankie.
你有!她为《Frankie》这样的杂志设计了许多漂亮的封面。
Her style is so unique that it's inspired an entire range of fan art too!
她的风格是如此独特，以至于激发了整个系列的粉丝艺术!
Talking to Instagram to express her happiness about the cover of Wild, Hsaio-Ron posted: "Album art I did for @troyesivan! So happy some of you guys recognized my work and told me it's out now even before I noticed. Absolutely an honour to work with Troye and his team!"
Hsaio-Ron（书中后面的名字可能字母打反了，先就按照书中的来吧）在Ins上展现她制作《wild》的海报的喜悦感说道:"我为戳鹅做了专辑封面！非常搞笑你们认可我的作品并告诉我在我还没注意到的时候已经出版了。十分荣幸与戳鹅和他的团队一起工作！"
When working on the album cover for Blue Neighbourhood, Hsaio-Ron made two options.
当为《蓝色街区》制作专辑封面时，Hsaio-Ron制作了两个版本。
One was for the standard version of the album, which had a 'light' cover and one for the deluxe version, which featured a much darker shade of blue.
其中一个是标准版的“浅色”封面，另一个是豪华版的“深”蓝色封面。
SIDE NOTE: If you've wondering what the other differences between both versions of the album are, it's simple.
附注：如果你想知道两个版本的专辑有什么其他的区别，这很简单。
The standard release has 10 songs while the deluxe release has 16.
标准版有10首歌，豪华版有16首。(apple music里看到标准版有11首歌了，豪华版多了BITE, DKLA(feat.Tkay Maidza), LOST BOY, TOO GOOD, BLUE(feat.Alen Hope), )
While Troye felt completing 16 songs was quite hard, he's said he's proud of the works, as they're an accurate musical representation of who he is as a person.
虽然Troye认为完成16首歌曲是相当困难的，但他说他为这些作品感到自豪，因为它们在音乐上准确地表现了他是一个怎样的人。
