Olly Alexander wants to “fly the flag for the country in the gayest way possible” at Eurovision 2024
“It’s gonna be electronic, something you can dance to,” Alexander told the BBC. “But I can’t say much more than that.
“I just can’t wait to get out there and meet the fans and everyone else taking part,” he added. “It’s going to be the wildest experience of my life.”
The singer has so far teased that his entry is “not a ballad”, but will instead be “electronic, something you can dance to”.
The artist also spoke about his feelings around the UK’s poor track record in the past, excluding Sam Ryder‘s second-place performance in 2022. “It’s a competition, so you never know what’s going to happen on the night,” he said. “I’m just going to give it my best shot and not think about any of that and make the most of it.”
The artist previously told NME that going solo from Years & Years was “like a breakup”. Following his Eurovision announcement, he told the BBC that he’d “wanted to do it for a while” and it “felt like this was the right time to start releasing music under my name”.
