On the heels of his Spanish debut ‘Frío’, Omar Apollo today shares another incredible new song. ‘Hit Me Up’ is a sunny ode to unrequited love, with a fiery assist from burgeoning pop star Dominic Fike and infectious production from Kenny Beats propelling the song further. The track was featured on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show on Apple Music earlier today follows Omar’s late-night television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers last week, where he performed an energetic rendition of his standout track ‘Ashamed’.

‘Hit Me Up’ arrives as Omar Apollo begins his The Speed of Sound tour in the US this week. Tickets are available here, with the UK leg including a London date at Heaven on November 27^th.

Prior to the two singles, Omar released his latest EP ‘Friends’ –  showcasing the seamless versatility he carved out on previously-released singles ‘Friends’, ‘Ashamed’, and ‘Trouble’, culminating in a vibrant and thoughtful body of work. On the project, the first-generation Mexican-American singer fluidly channels elements of jazz, R&B, funk, alternative, soul and pop music through his own lens, cementing his stance as one of 2019’s breakout stars.
