Now it seems like he’s trying to make up for lost time by erasing his indie electronic roots through the overproduced and overzealous storytelling found on Night Call. ![]() The album’s strongest quality is that it shows Alexander’s true flair for dance-pop, one that he probably would have been better off pursuing from the very beginning. I saw Years and Years last night, and i was not dissapointed, the only downside was the opening acts took 3 hours, which only left just over an hour for. Limited edition Deluxe CD in 6 panel digi sleeve includes 5 bonus tracks. More than half the album just sounds like most of the “Queer as Folk” soundtrack-the same bad EDM dancefloor track on a loop. Night Call is the highly anticipated 3rd album from Years & Years (also known as Olly Alexander, the star of the acclaimed Channel 4 drama It’s A Sin). It’s just that, in order to truly convey one’s gayest carnal desires through the magic of dance-pop, one has to go beyond just merely the same recycled lyrics and sounds about sweaty dancefloors and giving into temptation.

With the more artsy pop sound found on “Starstruck,” one’s ears could easily predict that an album with a sound more in line with that of Kim Petras or Troye Sivan would follow. With the release of “Starstruck” as the album’s lead single nearly a year ago, it was made immediately clear that Alexander’s new music would be a departure from the more conceptually queer pop found on the group’s earlier releases-one that was a little less commercially sustainable than most indie pop. Ironically, however, almost everything on Night Call leaves something to be desired. From his perspective on this record, it’s pursuing our innermost carnal desires no matter what the cost. ![]() With his latest studio album Night Call, Alexander tries to embrace and convey what it means to be a gay pop star.
