  • Some of Omar Apollo’s earliest memories are of being in front of a crowd, performing in ballet folklórico classes and singing in Spanish mass at church. His parents-who emigrated from Guadalajara, Mexico, to Hobart, Indiana, where he grew up-encouraged him to explore his heritage through song and dance, and by the time Apollo was in high school, he was writing 30 songs a month. But he sensed tension with his traditional, religious family. “I knew [my household] wasn’t going to be a great place for me to develop the way that I wanted,” he says in his Apple Music Up Next film. “So I left.” It was while living out of a friend’s unfinished attic that the indie-R&B phenom inked his first record deal and assembled what would have been his debut album. But days before he was set to shoot a music video, he pulled the plug and started over. Watch the film to find out why Apollo made “the hardest decision” of his life, and hear about his project 'Ivory'-the clear-eyed, heart-on-sleeve album produced in its wake: apple.co/-UpNextOmarApollo

    It makes my heart so full seeing another Mexican American achieve so much success. So underrated!

      It’s a racist Black/White entertainment industry! That gay blak guy winning all those awards…..wears super flashy clothes a la Britney Spears, can’t remember his name, as well as Bad Bunny need to move over because this dude sings Mariachi, Soft Rock, Indie, New Wave, Folk Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Trap and R&B, and sings in both English and Spanish! And on top of that, he can sing and he can play the guitar! He’s the package and is headed to the major leagues of International Stardom.

    • @aylin.figueroa
      @aylin.figueroa 2 года назад

      probably Imagine U, b/c he didn't promote that song as much and he has yet to perform it live. TBH i hated that song, it didn't really sound like him.

    He needs to step into his full self, I feel like so much of his work is derivative of Frank ocean. He has a great voice and the right ideas but he needs to expand. Because he’ll be stuck in that post blonde indie r&b space if he doesn’t

    • @Jaylinrxse
      @Jaylinrxse 2 года назад +4

      Maybe he likes that area

    • @maggieandrews7676
      @maggieandrews7676 2 года назад +7

      I see the influence but he seems like a very different artist to me, and I really like Frank ocean and I really like omar (two of my favorites ever) but I don’t really see that strong of a similarity between their work, omar is has been doing his own thing

    • @maggieandrews7676
      @maggieandrews7676 2 года назад +3

      Also like the person before me said, it sounds good?? Like the music he’s putting out has been so good an artist doesn’t always have to be changing rapidly

    • @Robyn-r9s
      @Robyn-r9s 2 года назад +6

      In the full film on Apple Music there are snippets of songs from his new album and tbh it is nothing like Frank Ocean. Unless Frank has been working on some corridos and folk-pop lol
