As we welcome the New Year, excitement is at an all-time high for Olly Alexander. He is poised to make a significant impact with the release of his highly anticipated debut solo album, “Polari“. (Arriving on February 7th). Leading up to this release, he has shared the enchanting track “When We Kiss“. This is the fifth single to emerge from his fruitful collaboration with renowned producer Danny L Harle. This particular song marks a fascinating departure from the previous album’s lead tracks, including “Archangel,” “Cupid’s Bow,” “Polari,” and “Dizzy.” While those tracks showcased a specific sonic landscape, “When We Kiss” takes listeners in a fresh direction. Combining innovative soundscapes with heartfelt lyrics. Above all it stands out not just as a piece of music but as a deeply expressive love song that encapsulates the complexities and euphoria of romantic connection.

Furthermore, the lyrical narrative offers a profound exploration of the complex emotional landscape that exists between the choice to break up and the desire to stay together. It intricately examines the conflicting feelings that individuals experience. Capturing the deep sorrow and heartache intertwined with the moments of pure joy and ecstasy that love can bring. Through vivid imagery and relatable scenarios, the narrative unpacks the rich tapestry of emotions that define relationships. Moreover reflecting the struggle and beauty ingrained in the journey of love.

Elaborating on “When We KissOlly Alexander adds…

“I believe heartbreak and synthesizers are made for each other and I had the best time making this with my Polari partner Danny L Harle. Our aim was to take the listener on a rapturous journey of heartfelt emotion, from anguish to euphoria and back again.”

In the Colin Solal Cardo-directed video for “When We Kiss“. Olly eloquently navigates a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, with the song’s lyrical narrative serving as a guide. The choreography he employs is not merely a form of movement; it transforms into a profound mode of expression. Vividly illustrating his emotional journey. Each dance sequence intricately weaves together elements of longing, passion, and vulnerability, culminating in a striking portrayal of queer love. The meticulously crafted visuals enhance the intimate and sensual nature of the choreography, inviting the viewer to experience the depths of emotion that accompany love and desire in a compelling way.
