Olly Alexander has shared a new single and announced details of his debut solo album.

The former Years & Years man will release the album Polari on February 7, 2025, and it is being previewed by new track ‘Cupid’s Bow’.

The new single follows Alexander’s track ‘Dizzy’, which was the UK’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest this year.

As with that track, which appears on Polari, Alexander worked heavily with PC Music producer Danny L Harle, while the album’s title references a lost queer language spoken centuries ago.
