Weāre still feeling the rush!
For his hit single āRush,ā pop prince Troye Sivan was nominated for two awards at the recent 2024 Grammys, one for Best Pop Dance Recording and the other for Best Music Video. These were his first Grammy nominations in his career thus far. Producer Styalz Fuego, who worked on āRushā with Sivan, also attended the ceremony.
While covering the red carpet at the 66th Grammys ceremony, Out digital director Raffy Ermac asked Fuego if he knew what poppers were before working on the song with Sivan.
āI didnāt actually,ā Fuego replied. āAs soon as Troye played me a demo of the song that, he explained it to me, [but] I still had to go and Google it after.ā Fuego was then asked if he had ever gotten to try poppers for himself. āI havenāt tried them,ā Fuego said. āI donāt think we can get them in Australia.ā
āOkay, good, donāt! Value your brain cells,ā Ermac joked, to which Fuego reacted with, āYeah, Iāve heard that. I went on a deep dive on Google after he told me about it.ā
When asked about his experiences working with Sivan as one of the most popular LGBTQ+ musicians of this generation, and whoās now also getting some recognition from the Grammys, Fuego said:
āItās amazing. I was actually such a fan of Troye for years before we even started working together. So to have the opportunityā¦ and, my main thing was like, āI hope I donāt ruin his music.ā Iām just so happy that I didnāt ruin his music ā well, hopefully, I didnāt ruin his music!ā
He added, āI think [being at the Grammys] is like, justification, or validation, that maybe I didnāt ruin it. Heās been so supportive of me, bigging me up whenever he can, and dropping my name wherever he can, and being really supportive of me. So, itās amazing, really.ā
Unfortunately, āRushā lost Best Pop Dance Recording to Kylie Minogueās āPadam Padamā and Best Music Video to The Beatlesā āIām Only Sleepingā ā but itās not too shabby to lose out Grammy Awards to two legends of that stature.
Weāll keep watching āRushā and āOne of Your Girlsā and streaming Something to Give Each Other, thank you very much!
