Episode 5: ‘King’ by Years and Years

In this week’s episode of Queer The Music we celebrate ‘King’ by Years and Years, a hit from 2015 that went straight to the top of the UK Charts and was named song of the year by Time magazine. Jake speaks to 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’. Learn about how the hit was made, Olly's influences and the struggles he’s faced as a Queer artist. Good luck representing the United Kingdom at Eurovision Olly! (this interview was recorded before the news was announced).
