Olly Alexander, the celebrated singer behind the hit "King," has reunited with a former boyfriend after ten years, influencing his upcoming album, Polari. Set for release on February 7, the album features upbeat love songs infused with retro synths. In an interview with Attitude Magazine, Alexander shared how the rekindling of an old romance provided him with new insights for his music. He described the relationship's evolution as a "grown-up romance," marking a shift in his approach to themes of love in his songwriting.
Returning to a past boyfriend gave me a different perspective to write from, which inspired my new record, Polari, filled with glitzy love songs.
This idea of returning to love was really on my mind as I had all these different points from our relationship that had gone up and down.
