Following the official announcement of his highly anticipated debut album IVORY, due April 8th via Warner Records, Omar Apollo shares a brand new single from the project, “Tamagotchi” produced by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, which he recorded with the duo last year in Miami.
The new track arrives alongside Omar’s launch as Apple Music’s Up Next Artist of the month, including the premiere of an exclusive short film and an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, both out now. “Tamagotchi” marks the fifth single from the album closely following “Killing Me,” “Invincible” featuring Daniel Caesar which arrived with a video directed by STILLZ, and his previously released songs “Bad Life” with Kali Uchis and “Go Away.”

About OMAR APOLLO
Omar Apollo is one of music’s most exciting shape-shifters. In just a few years time, the Indiana-raised Mexican-American singer-songwriter went from teenage strummer to one of the most hotly-tipped R&B artists of his generation. Apollo’ has had a transformative but linear journey, from listening to Brandy and Stevie Wonder as a kid, to plucking away at a guitar at as a pre-teen, to self-releasing a pair of EPs as a young man—2018’s Stereo and 2019’s Friends—that established his signature “bedroom soul” and earned him love from fans and press (Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The FADER, et al.). As unique as his sound is, Apollo has garnered as much attention for his lyrics—themes of romantic yearning and self-improvement swirled up with expressions of cultural heritage and identity. In 2020, he released his home-recorded project Apolonio which featured collaborations with Bootsy Collins, DJ Dahi, Albert Hammond Jr., and more. To celebrate Apolonio’s release, Apollo performed a livestream concert from Paisley Park, the legendary residence of one of his heroes, Prince. 2021 saw the release of two singles, “Go Away,” which Apollo performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and “Bad Life” featuring Kali Uchis. Apollo closed out the year on a high note receiving his first Latin GRAMMY nomination for his collaboration “Te Olvidaste“ with C Tangana. Apollo’s long-awaited debut album IVORY brings him to another level in his career. Crossing genre lines as well as language barriers, the full-length showcases even greater musical diversity from the already boundless creator. Upon the release of his new single “Invincible” featuring Daniel Caesar, Apollo announced that IVORY will arrive on April 8th, 2022. Despite being at this pivotal moment in his career, Omar feels like he’s just getting started. The artist who once called himself “just a kid from Indiana” is breaking new ground, abandoning all comfort zones, and never looking back.
