new year, new music, same everlasting emotional turmoil, When We Kiss - out next friday  x 

3 months ago • Olly Alexander

In the ‘lost gay language’ of Polari, “Polari” means ‘to speak’. I was very inspired by how we communicate with each other and what it means to speak a secret language, something I think we all do in some form or another with the people we’re close to. In our hyper connected world of fractured communication it’s not easy to trust that anything is what it seems, I felt that a song about vernacular should be as wild and unpredictable as the history of Polari itself. I had such a great time making this bijou song with @dannylharle and taking musical inspiration from the past, the present and the distant future. This is track 1 on the album and is intended as a shot of adrenaline and jumpstart the car kind of introduction because I’m about to take you for a ride - it’s also a bit of an audio collage of all the music that follows so I’m very excited to put this out! Please enjoy and thank you for listening!

💘🏹Cupid’s Bow music video is out now 💘🏹 Cupid is alone until Archangel arrives in a red car, have these two met before? Exchanging more than just glances, this 3 minute video sees our heroes grapple with passion amidst a wrecked studio backlot. Who is pursuing who in this fateful tête à tête? Where will Polari lead us next and is it true that Cupid never misses a shot?
