Bloom is an incomparably sweet and intimate work, and yet it’s so well-named because from that base unfurls something grand and universal. It’s also full of bops-a dizzy swirl of ’80s synth-pop, crisp modern production, timeless balladry, and joyous dance-whose bold streaks and subtle shades effortlessly bridge arty to accessible. Sivan executed his vision with care, first writing with trusty collaborator-confidants Bram Inscore, Allie X, and Leland, then with producer Ariel Rechtshaid.
