Troye Sivan took home the top prize at the Australian Performing Rights Association (Apra) awards on Wednesday night, winning song of the year for his track Rush.
The lead single from Sivan’s acclaimed 2023 album Something to Give Each Other, Rush is a lascivious ode to queer nightlife inspired by the gay clubs of Melbourne’s Smith Street. “I wanted to go ballistic,” Sivan told the Guardian last year, of his time in the clubs post pandemic lockdowns.
