Omar Apollo has released his simple, romantic new track, “3 Boys” today. The new song marks the first taste of new music since Omar’s debut album, IVORY, which was released last April. Following the album’s success and his sold out 26-date headline tour, Omar is set to support SZA on her upcoming S.O.S. tour starting at the end of this month.
Speaking about the creation of “3 Boys,” Omar says, “When I first started writing songs I would often write about unrequited love. Eventually I wrote songs about the complexities that come with a relationship. “3 Boys” was my first time writing about something non-monogamous. Having more than one person to talk to. 🧐 I wrote the song on a rainy day in London. I spent most of December there, mostly just because I wanted to get out of America. I ended up going to the studio more than I thought I would. I wrote the song with a friend of mine, Dylan Wiggins. It seemed like we were both in the same mind state for a song like this. The song wrote itself really quickly. I also had my friend Mustafa help me with a few lines after I played it for him.”
