A fact from Sea of Voices appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 June 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that "Sea of Voices" was well-received by Porter Robinson's fans even though it was a fundamental change from his prior musical style?

I don't think the "further information" template is needed; this article already presents enough information that is very similar to the one found in Worlds. At very least, "Porter Robinson § Career" should be removed for being too broad.
"... he gravitated towards "sweeter, cuter, [and] more feminine" voices when writing Worlds (2014), originally using the Vocaloid voice Avanna ..." This sentence mixes general Worlds information with "Sea of Voices" specific info. I'd recommend splitting these two sentences.
Comment: I'm not seeing why this is a problem, as I would assume any approaches he mentions using for the album as a whole would also apply to individual songs until mentioned otherwise. To my knowledge, I'm also not synthesizing the sources or saying anything that isn't already being said. —TS
There is no problem with the sources or anything. I was just confused when reading for the first time because when reading, it first read as if Robinson used Avanna for Worlds, not "Sea of Voices". Here is a possible different way to write this part:
"According to him, he gravitated towards "sweeter, cuter, [and] more feminine" voices when writing Worlds (2014). For that reason, he originally used the Vocaloid voice Avanna but eventually got singer Breanne Düren for the final version of "Sea of Voices"."
The main thing here is just that these sentences could be separated for clarity.

"Though the song came as a surprise to followers of his work, it was well-received by audiences." I feel like this should be in Reception; same for the trending topic info
"'Sea of Voices' received a generally positive critical response." I'm not a big fan of this when it's not referenced, though I understand if you want to keep it.
In progress. I can probably bundle a few citations to verify this statement, but I'll remove it if that's not possible. —TS
Removed; critics have lots of nice descriptors for the song, but rarely give it praise in a way that can be unambigiously interpreted as "positive reception" without original research. —TS
"but was nonetheless accepted by his fans." If the "it was well-received by audiences" sentence above is moved to this section, I think you should merge these two sentences, because they say the same thing.
"Several reviewers found the song reminiscent of the electronic band M83" — you need to add more references here to justify "Several reviewers", as currently there is just one
This is verified by the following footnotes as well, but I can see how that could be confusing to readers. Done—TS
"Interview" → "interview" in the title of ref 6, as you're following a consistent title casing for the references. I just discovered the URL has "OwO". I can't unsee this now.
8 → McCarthy didn't find inspirations from Justice. The article quotes Robinson saying Justice's "Cross" is an inspiration for him in general. Otherwise fine
That's quite a silly thing for me to miss! Removed—TS

@TechnoSquirrel69: As the "received a generally positive response" sentence was removed from Reception, I've reworded a sentence from the lead — feel free to adjust it.

Overall: LGTM, hooks looks good overall, tho I feel like the second one could be punchier, however that should not block promotion. I now have something new to listen to while I code :) Sohom (talk) 22:12, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240604221200","author":"Sohom Datta","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Sohom_Datta-20240604221200-Did_you_know_nomination","replies":["c-TechnoSquirrel69-20240604222400-Sohom_Datta-20240604221200"],"displayName":"Sohom"}}-->
Appreciate the review, Sohom! If you like this song, I can confirm that Porter Robinson has plenty of other good options to jam to while writing. :D —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:24, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240604222400","author":"TechnoSquirrel69","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-TechnoSquirrel69-20240604222400-Sohom_Datta-20240604221200","replies":[]}}-->
