Olly Alexander has released the “eternally optimistic” single, Archangel, from the Years & Years star’s debut solo album ‘Polari’.
The track is the third to be lifted from the LP, following lead song Cupid’s Bow and the title song, which is a collaboration with Danny L Harle and due for release on February 7.
On the new tune, Olly explains how the track was inspired by an “angel” that saved him at his darkest moment.
“I don’t mean a mythical angel (or do I?) but rather someone in my life who picked me up when I was down,” he says. “I’m really grateful to him, and to all the other angels (divine and non divine) who I’ve encountered along the way.
“I loved making this song with my musical partner Danny L Harle, our goal was to create something that sounded eternally optimistic, redemptive and like anything is possible. This is such a special song for me and I’m really happy to be putting it out and to show another side to ‘Polari’.”
