Omar Apollo unveils new single ‘3 Boys’

Following the release of his debut album ‘Ivory’ last year, Omar Apollo is back with new single ‘3 Boys’. “When I first started writing songs I would often write about unrequited love,” Omar says. “Eventually I wrote songs about the complexities that come with a relationship. ‘3 Boys’ was my first time writing about something non-monogamous. Having more than one person to talk to. I wrote the song on a rainy day in London. I spent most of December there, mostly just because I wanted to get out of America. I ended up going to the studio more than I thought I would. I wrote the song with a friend of mine, Dylan Wiggins. It seemed like we were both in the same mind state for a song like this. The song wrote itself really quickly. I also had my friend Mustafa help me with a few lines after I played it for him.” In our review of Omar’s debut ‘Ivory’, we said, “Conflating his electro-pop tendencies with the occasional stride of a campfire guitar, he turns everything he touches to glistening radio gold.” Revisit our full review of ‘Ivory’ here, and have a listen to new track ‘3 Boys’ below.
