| | Description: | Omar Apollo announces that his sophomore studio album, God Said No, to be released on June 28th via Warner Records. Along with the announcement, Apollo offers a preview of what is to come on the album with the new single ??Dispose of Me,? which arrives with an accompanying live performance video of the song featuring a 14-piece ensemble. Apollo and the band put a new spin on ??Dispose Of Me? as they're surrounded by Omar's closest friends and collaborators. God Said No was executive produced by Teo Halm and features musician Mustafa and actor Pedro Pascal. The album title is Omar??s interpretation of ??lo que sera, sera? which translates to ??whatever will be, will be? or ??it is what it is.? The phrase embodies the album with Omar??s tongue-in-cheek humorous outlook on the suffering that comes from surrendering and accepting whatever is thrown at you by life, a relationship or lover.
Arriving a little over two years after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album Ivory which earned Apollo a Best New Artist nomination at the 2023 Grammys, God Said No was born out of the whirlwind that followed his debut and nonstop touring, on his headline tour, in support of SZA??s SOS arena tour along with Billie Eilish??s Latin American stadium tour. Apollo booked a three- month stay in London that fall, where he ruminated on walks down rain-soaked cobblestone streets and mined the poems of Mary Oliver, Victoria Chang, and Ocean Vuong for inspiration. Speaking on musical inspirations with Rolling Stone in the May issue, Omar cited artists like Kate Bush, Labi Siffre, Giorgio Moroder, Beyoncé, and Lana del Rey as being in heavy rotation during that time in London.
Camped out in London??s legendary Abbey Road Studios with his trusted collaborators, producers Halm, Carter Lang, and Blake Slatkin, Apollo built the bones of his melodrama. The 14-track album is a survey of the emotional wreckage that followed the end of a torrid love affair. Apollo borrowed the title from something his friend said while processing the relationship. ??I gave it my everything,? Apollo says, ??And God said ??no.??? What began during that London trip resulted in his most soul-bearing and immediate body of work, fine-tuned across studios in Los Angeles, NY, and Miami towards the end of 2023.
??Dispose of Me? follows the album??s lead single, ??Spite,? which was released last month to fanfare alongside an iconic David Heof-directed music video shot in Mexico City. Just last week, Omar made a splash during his Met Gala debut, wearing a custom suit by LOEWE that earned him Best Dressed nods from The Cut, Vogue, and WWD, among others. - Traversing the bounds of genre and language in his songs, singer-songwriter GRAMMY nominated Omar Apollo captures the adventurous spirit that this multi-hyphenate moment in pop demands, returning with his highly anticipated sophomore album, God Said No. God Said No is Omar's interpretation of "lo que sera, sera" which translates to "whatever will be, will be". The phrase embodies the album with Omar's tongue-in-cheek humorous outlook on the suffering that comes from surrendering and accepting whatever is thrown at you by life, a relationship, or lover. Omar believes his natural state is longing for love or stability, and elements of the album are about surrendering to that. The record was created with Teo Halm, Blake Slatkin, Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, and Oscar Santander, among other contributors. In 2022 with the release of Ivory, Apollo's eclectic debut, his hit single and career first Billboard Hot 100 entry "Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me at All)" was certified platinum, sold out his first headlining tour, and performed arenas with SZA and Daniel Caesar. Omar Apollo is a true visionary, whose one-of-a-kind pop synthesis unites listeners from all walks of life in a shared passion for rhythm and soul.Issued in a gatefold jacket with a printed inner sleeve and a double sided poster.
