Omar Apollo releases new single “Ashamed”
Omar Apollo, recently released his new single “Ashamed.” The new track finds Omar veering into an unpredictable sonic direction, as he pairs fluid vocal swings with a groovy bass line and guitar riffs for a funky musical product that showcases the 21-year-old’s range as an artist. The song’s playful accompanying visual is directed by Jimmy Regular, and captures Omar in his element, soaking up the smooth rhythms of the track with his friends. Omar also recently announced a run of European tour dates that will follow his North American tour, beginning March 9th.
A first-generation Mexican-American singer from Indiana, the diversity of Omar’s influences across jazz, R&B, funk, alternative, soul and pop music set his music apart. Though his parents immigrated to the US to give him the opportunity to go to college, Omar knew he was meant to make music and his debut EP solidified that belief. Consisting of songs in both English and Spanish.
