On Wednesday (February 7th), Alexander announced his new song 'Dizzy' will be released on March 1st. Not only does 'Dizzy' mark the star's first self-titled release, it's also set to serve as the UK's official entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

Alexander was first announced as the UK representative for the international competition in December 2023. In a statement released at the time, the It is a sin The actor said he still couldn't quite believe his luck. “As a young lad I always looked forward to this incredible event of unbridled joy, the wonderfully chaotic mix of musical styles, theatrical performances, heartfelt emotion and humour,” he said at the time. “I really can't believe I'm going to be part of such a special legacy and fly the flag for the UK in the most gracious way, it's going to be an honour! I've wanted to do this for a long time and it feels like the right time to start releasing music under my own name.”
Earlier this week, more than 1,000 Swedish artists – including Robyn, Fever Ray and First Aid Kit – signed an open letter to the European Broadcasting Union, asking them to exclude Israel from the 2024 contest due to the ongoing war in Gaza . “The Eurovision Song Contest began as a project of peace with the ambition to unite countries and citizens through music,” the letter said. “Allowing Israel to participate undermines not only the spirit of the competition but the entire mission of public service. It also sends the message that governments can commit war crimes with impunity.”
