PNAU & Troye Sivan, “You Know What I Need” | Track Review 🎵

PNAU and Troye Sivan make a formidable team on their superb pop single, “You Know What I Need.” 

What happens when 🎙 PNAU and 🎙 Troye Sivan collaborate? Magic – sheer magic. PNAU taps Sivan for the fabulous single, 🎵 “You Know What I Need”.  Just in case you didn’t know, this is the single that you need in your life during those cold, frigid winter months!  

PNAU and Sivan keep things short and sweet, clocking in just under three minutes in duration. An infectious groove from the onset sets the tone.  As always, Troye Sivan serves up great vocals.  Beyond his awesome pipes, the vocal production is superb as well.  Sure, Troye does the heavy lifting vocally, but he is also assisted by warm supporting vocals. The chorus is everything: the falsetto is ripe, the melody is tuneful, and the production is inviting.  Here, Sivan sings:  

“You’re all that I want 

You’re all that I need 

And if it hurts baby 

I don’t want it.” 

Beyond the chorus, the melody in the verses is also strong. So are the lyrics, which are love-centric (“But I’m thinkin’ lately / What’s so concernin’ / Soon as I leave you / I just keep on hurtin’.”). There is excellent contrast during the bridge section, which keeps “You Know What I Need” balanced.  

Final Thoughts 💭 

As mentioned earlier, PNAU and Troye Sivan make sheer magic collaborating together. “You Know What I Need” is a superb dance-pop track. It is a welcome addition to your winter 2022 playlist – NO CAP!
