Omar Apollo, has released “Kamikaze,” his new single follows the self-written/produced “Stayback,” as well as the song’s remix featuring Parliament-Funkadelic’s Bootsy Collins. Speaking on the inspiration behind “Kamikaze,” Omar says: “’Kamikaze’ is a song that taps into my old emotions, taking it back to when I was younger. When I made ‘Kamikaze’ I was reminiscing on how I used to feel for someone and realizing those feelings are lost and we’re left with nothing. It feels good to hold on to the memories without the feelings it gave me.”

Since his 2018 critically-acclaimed debut EP Stereo, Omar Apollo has continued to ascend as an undeniable talent to watch, becoming one of today’s brightest breakout stars and one of the most talked about new artists of the last couple of years. Last year he released his second EP Friends.

He was also part of YouTube’s Foundry International artist development program, with past alumni including Cuco, ROSALÍA, Gunna, Chloe X Halle, and Dua Lipa.
