Omar Apollo shares new single ‘Friends’
‘Friends’ EP confirmed for release on April 10th
Tour dates including London’s Village Underground (June 18th)

“Lovelorn falsetto soul-spilling, austere minimalism, Latino swagger, elastic funk, sun-kissed dub and soft pop swooning” Sunday Times, Breaking Act
“The Mexican-American crooner combines soulful allure with a political undercurrent” Observer, Ones to Watch
“Apollo’s music can fit into a lot of different boxes but the DIY spirit is an essential element in his vibe” Pigeons & Planes
“A triple threat of an artist with plenty to offer” Pitchfork

Omar Apollo has today shared new single, ‘Friends’ – which, together with recent tracks ‘Ashamed’ and ‘Trouble’ – will form part of his ‘Friends’ EP (released on April 10^th).
Title track ‘Friends’ finds Omar showing another side of himself, slowing the tempo to a sweet standstill as he sings tenderly of the restlessness of being young and the disconnect between him and the one he loves. The highly-anticipated new project itself exudes the diverse array of influences that sets Omar apart, as he fluidly channels elements of jazz, R&B, funk, alternative, soul and pop music through his own lens. After introducing himself in 2018 with his critically-acclaimed debut EP ‘Stereo’, Omar has continued to ascend as an undeniable talent to watch.
Omar will also be embarking on a run of European tour dates that will follow his US tour and arrive ahead of a performance at Lollapalooza this Summer. Despite having to cancel a few shows due to illness, the US tour kicked off with a stellar performance at SXSW’s FADER Fort, where Omar fought through the flu to emerge as one of the most talked-about artists at the festival. On this run, he will play 32 dates across the continent before concluding in Philadelphia on June 1, with support from ROLE MODEL and Ambar Lucid on select dates.
