Omar Apollo shares the new song and video “Go Away.” At just under four minutes, the song shepherds a new era for the artist and showcases his growth and talent as a songwriter. The song is the first taste of new music from him following last year’s Apolonio which Pitchfork noted, “undoubtedly stands on its own as his most fully realized work.”
“Go Away” also arrives ahead of Apollo’s North American tour kicking off later this month. The tour will be an exciting return to the stage for whom GQ called “one of the most electric live performers of his generation.”, Apollo having most recently toured Australia in 2020 for Laneway Festival along with sold out Sydney and Melbourne sideshows. He’ll be joined by Deb Never, Maye, Sofía Valdés, and Niko Rubio on select dates and will also make festival stops at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Music Midtown.

About OMAR APOLLO
Omar Apollo is one of R&B’s most exciting shape-shifters. As the 23-year-old singer/songwriter prepares his debut album, he’s holding close to music that feels inventive, experimental, and true to his wide-ranging passion. R&B remains the foundation, but Apollo is branching out with a bilingual fusion of funk, pop, electronic, hip-hop, reggaéton, corridos—as he puts it, “everything.” Apollo’s has been a transformative but linear journey, from listening to Brandy and Stevie as a kid, to plucking away at a guitar at 11, to self-releasing a pairs 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, FADER, et al.). As unique as his sound is, Apollo has gotten as much attention for his lyrics—themes of romantic yearning and self-improvement swirled up with expressions of cultural heritage and identity. Now, he’s leaning even more into all of it, making music that feels closer to his heart than ever. In 2020, he released his “quarantine project,” Apolonio. But as he finishes up his LP, he’s dreaming bigger, bringing in collaborators, and pushing himself harder than ever before. He’s more self-assured, and wants the rest of the world to catch up to what his fans have been seeing from the beginning “I used to think I wasn’t built for this because I’m just a kid from Indiana,” says Apollo. “But that thought is gone now. I know what to do. Everything just feels right.”
