Following the release of his highly-anticipated debut albumIVORY and completion of his high energy headliningtour, Omar Apolloreturns to share brand new single "Archetype," out via Warner Records. A sweet and passionate love ballad, the tune finds Apollo riding a downtempo beat punctuated by loud-soft-loud dynamics in the production. The new track is a perfect collision of young, romantic idealism experienced through the soul of someone talented beyond their years.
Cradling lush lyrics in his signature falsetto, Apollo paints a very clear picture of what he desires and who he wants to explore those fantasies with. Excitement comes to a crescendo as he revels in his newfound commitment, and though Apollo's feelings are strong and urgent, the single retains a sense of style and cool, feeling and sounding smooth and soulful. The expansive and sentimental tune reveals not only songwriting prowess, but a tender heart beating in the chest of a passionate and talented young man.
In addition to his sensual and heartfelt new single, Apollo is also revisiting IVORY by re-releasing the debut album with five additional tracks, "Archetype" included. Crossing genre lines as well as language barriers, Apollo's album showcases a musical and cultural diversity, pieced together expertly by the young musician and featuring the likes of Pharrell Williams, Daniel Caesar and Kali Uchis. Fans can pre-save the deluxe album here.
Indiana-raised, the Mexican-American singer-songwriter has come a long way in a short amount of time, especially for someone who thought that they would never make it coming as a kid from the middle of the country. Cultivating a rich and varied body of work, and having collaborated with a talented pool of fellow musicians, including Bootsy Collins, DJ Dahi, Albert Hammond, Jr. and others, he is equally talented on his own as he is consorting with fellow groundbreakers.
