Comment: Pre-release publicity does not establish notability. "Upcoming" is pretty much alternative spelling for "not (yet) notable". DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:30, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Polari is the upcoming debut studio album by English singer Olly Alexander, scheduled to be released on 7 February 2025 through Polydor Records. Created with producer Danny L Harle, it is the first solo album released under Alexander's name following the disbandment of Years & Years. Polari takes its name from the coded language historically used in Britain by the LGBTQ community and will be supported by the Up Close and Polari Tour throughout Europe in early 2025.[1][2]
According to Alexander, the album is inspired by electropop and other music of the 1980s such as Pet Shop Boys, Kate Bush, and Erasure.[2][1] The album includes references to cowboys, gods, and music executives, and its themes include intimacy, desire, voyeurism, and fate.[2][3] The aesthetics of Polari are inspired by filmmaker and gay rights activist Derek Jarman.[2]
"Cupid's Bow", the album's lead single, was released on 11 October 2024, while the title track was released on 22 November 2024.[4][5] Polari also includes "Dizzy", Alexander's entry representing the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.[6]
