New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "Starstruck" is the brand-new single from Years & Years, which is available now on Polydor Records/Universal Music, with the video premiering on Monday 12th April. It�s the first new Years & Years music since 2018�s much-loved second album �Palo Santo�, and follows hot on the heels of Olly Alexander�s leading role in Channel 4/HBO�s huge show, �It�s A Sin�; which has broken all records on All 4 since its premiere in January, with over 18 million views to date (the platform�s biggest ever instant box-set) and an incredible reception from fans and critics alike.

Olly Alexander�s superstar-status graces new heights on �Starstruck�, an irresistible, instant-classic Years & Years anthem about human connection (and the cosmos). �Starstruck�, says Olly, �came together one night at a studio in the countryside outside of London. I couldn�t remember the last time I�d seen so many stars, you get used to them not being there when you live in the city. Since we�ve all had to stop, all I�ve wanted to do is go out and dance. So I�ve been putting all that pent up energy into the music. �Starstruck� is about the rush you get when you�re with somebody you�re really into, it�s about holding onto a good feeling and not letting it go. Like most of us I�ve spent the past year at home, and I wanted to create something super positive and fun for people (and myself) to bop along too. Whatever we�re doing or wherever we are in life, I think we all deserve three minutes of interstellar ecstasy.�

As Years & Years, Olly Alexander has become one of the world�s most trailblazing modern pop stars. Across two hugely successful albums to date, the singer, actor, and cultural vanguard has earned 5 Brit Award nominations, sold-out numerous global tours, and played triumphant homecoming shows at London�s O2 and Wembley Arena. Along the way, Olly has also become a fearless, once-in-a-generation voice on important discussions around mental health, and issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. This has been marked by a number of standout moments, ranging from Alexander's defiant speech at Glastonbury in 2016 in the wake of events in Orlando to his BBC Documentary �Olly Alexander: Growing Up Gay�, plus the dizzyingly creative world around 'Palo Santo' (a record that arrived with an ambitious short film starring Judi Dench and Ben Whishaw). Ever since multi-platinum-selling debut album �Communion� in 2015, Years & Years� influence has been growing in plain sight; today, Olly�s impact in a show like �It�s A Sin� resonates deeper still (following the show�s broadcast, the Terrence Higgins Trust reports that there has been a four-fold increase in HIV Testing Week stats from previous years).

Currently hard at work on more music to follow �Starstruck�, Years & Years push boundaries by challenging notions of identity and sexuality in a way that is new to pop music - and totally Olly Alexander�s own.
