Olly Alexander has released his 80s-inspired Eurovision single, 'Dizzy'

Olly Alexander has released his Eurovision entry.

Written by Olly and Danny L Harle, 'Dizzy' is out now via Polydor Records, and is the UK's official entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, taking place in Malmö, Sweden, on 11th May.

Introducing ‘Dizzy’ today, Olly comments: “I wrote the song last summer with Danny L Harle, we started off with the word ‘Dizzy’ because it just popped into my head and I liked it. I was thinking about fun things that could make you dizzy and I remember saying “dizzy from your kisses” so we built the song around that.

"Danny and I believe music should transport you somewhere magical and we wanted to describe this magical place in the song; a place of beautiful gardens, eternal flowers and time turning endlessly in an ecstatic loop. We took the feeling of Dizziness and put that into the production, so there’s a lot of undulating arpeggios,  lilting harmonies and counter rhythms in the backing vocals.

The new material follows on from Years & Years album 'Night Call', which was released in 2022 and marked the first since the band became a solo project after the departure of Emre Türkmen and Mikey Goldsworthy.
