Omar Apollo has released “Te Maldigo,” the rack arrives after the premiere of Luca Guadagnino’s Queer (A24) last week and ahead of its theatrical release on November 27. The song was written for the film and is accompanied by a music video directed by Guadagnino, where Omar can be seen in character performing the song. This past weekend, Omar returned to Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles.

Produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who composed the score for the film, “Te Maldigo” is Omar’s first song entirely in Spanish since 2022’s “En El Olvido.” Stunning in a custom suit created by LOEWE creative director and Queer costume designer Jonathan Anderson, Omar croons the tender ballad into a retro microphone fitting of the film’s 1950s Mexico City setting. Based on William S. Burrough’s novella of the same title, Queer stars Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey, Jason Schwartzman, and Omar Apollo. The film was picked up for US release by A24 and debuted at the Venice Film Festival, where it received a 9-minute standing ovation and became one of the fall’s most highly-anticipated releases.

“Te Maldigo” serves as the first single from Omar following the release of his album God Said No this past May. The album was conceived after the success of his Grammy-nominated debut album Ivory and later, the nonstop touring that followed both on his own headline tour, support on SZA’s SOS arena tour, and Billie Eilish’s Latin American stadium tour.
