5 - ‘King’ by Years and Years (Olly Alexander)

  • Résumé

  • This episode celebrates a hit from 2015 that went straight to the top of the UK Charts and was named song of the year by Time magazine. It’s the compulsively danceable ‘King’ by electro-pop then-trio Years and Years. Jake is joined by Musician and Actor Olly Alexander, the then frontman of Years & Years. Olly is a huge champion of LGBTQ+ issues, proudly celebrating his queerness by writing inclusive songs, displaying queer love in his music videos and portraying lead character Ritchie in the hit TV show ‘It’s A Sin’. They discuss the making of 'King', Olly’s career, his influences and the struggles he’s faced as a Queer artist.  Good luck representing the United Kingdom at Eurovision Olly!
