Submission declined on 27 November 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted. If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

• 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, which last released an album in 2022. 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] In addition, "Archangel" was released as the third single on 13 December 2024,^[6] followed by "When We Kiss" on 10 January 2025.^[7] Polari also includes "Dizzy", Alexander's entry representing the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.^[8]
