More about Omar Apollo and his album Ivory
Omar Apollo mostly experiments with alternative music that is described as alternative R&B pop, along with elements of latin music, trap music, and funk. On April 8, 2022, Warner Records released the artist's album Ivory. Five singles—Go Away, Bad Life, Invincible, Killing Me, and Tamagotchi—were released to promote the album. The deluxe edition of the album includes five extra songs. The musician wasn't satisfied with the album's initial version and rewrote his debut album.
In a statement, Omar Apollo said,
"I had this feeling that I didn't want to promote or tour this music. I wasn't excited about it. It was good music — it wasn't bad music, but it didn't feel like me".
In November 2021, he started the rewriting process and released the lead single of the album, Go Away, which was featured on The Tonight Show. The second single from the album, titled Bad Life, was released on November 3, 2021 and featured Kali Uchis. The third single from the album was released on November 3, 2021 and was titled Invincible. The following singles, Killing Me and Tamagotchi, were released in March. Last month, the new single from the album Archetype was released as one of the additional tracks from the album's deluxe edition.
