Video: Troye Sivan - Happy Little Pill
The boy wonder's world-smashing single gets a smooth video clip.. Following the release of his first official single, Happy Little Pill, and the ensuing remix from another young group of Melbourne producers Casper Zazz (check it HERE), WA-based Youtube sensation Troye Sivan has dropped a video clip for the track which is racing towards half-a-million plays in only a day. His massive fanbase is undeniable (he's already crashed our site twice), fortunately the kid knows how to craft a solid pop tune. Citing influences such as Lorde and Frank Ocean, it's a good pedigree to form a base from. And if these are the kinda tunes young music fans are getting into - well that's something we're definitely on board with: Your can pre-order Troye's debut EP TRXYE HERE (it's out Friday 15 August).

Troye Sivan - Happy Little Pill (Casper Zazz Remix) *Premiere*
Troye Sivan's first official single gets its first remix.. Just over a week ago we came across 19-year-old Perth sensation Troye Sivan, a solo pop dude with an already huge online following (2.3 million Youtube subscribers, 1.6 million Twitter followers, 900,000 Facebook fans) who had just released his first official single, Happy Little Pill (listen HERE). It's the first track from his forthcoming EP, TRXYE, one said to filled with more of the atmospheric pop, delicate production and chilled beats in the vein of Lana Del Rey, Lorde and Frank Ocean, found on HPL.

Troye Sivan - Happy Little Pill
Some great new music from a fresh-faced Perth 19-year-old.. We'll have to admit we hadn't heard of 19 years young Perth artist Troye Sivan until recently. This makes sense on one hand as the single we're rocking today - Happy Little Pill - is his debut release. But on the other hand, the kid has almost 900k fans on Facebook - yep, almost a million. We can probably put the latter down to the release of his song The Fault In Our Stars - released last year and selling upwards of 100,000 copies worldwide, with all proceeds going to a Perth children's hospital. A re-worked version of that song, along with Happy Little Pill will be found on his forthcoming debut EP release, TRXYE, due August 15. The EP promises five tracks of atmospheric pop, beats and ballads, citing the likes of Lana Del Rey, Lorde and Frank Ocean as influences, and you can hear a bit of each in Happy Little Pill below. Produced by Perth duo SLUMs, mixed down by Tom Elmhirst and Jason Cox (Gorillaz, Adele, Empire Of The Su
