Years & Years’ Olly Alexander says Lil Nas X “has completely changed the game”

Years & Years’ Olly Alexander has praised Lil Nas X for “completely changing the game” for LGBTQ artists.Alexander was speaking to NME for this week’s Big Read when he praised the impact that the singer/rapper has had since his 2018 breakthrough with ‘Old Town Road’.Initially reflecting on how he’s personally become “much more relaxed and at ease with myself” in recent years, Alexander said that at the start of Years & Years’ career “I was really quite scared”.“Putting the word ‘boy’ into a song – it felt like there was quite a lot of jeopardy there,” he said. “Like, it felt risky in a way that it just doesn’t now.”Noting how “times have changed” since Years & Years dropped their 2015 debut album ‘Communion’, Alexander said that he believes that he and other LGBTQ artists are benefiting from Lil Nas X’s “fearless” rise to the top.“Even just a few years ago, I’d get comments about my show like: ‘It’s not really family-friendly; we can’t broadcast this [on TV] in the daytime,’” Alexander said.

It was just, like, general direction: how ‘poppy’ something was gonna be.
