Omar Apollo delivers new song "3 Boys"

"3 Boys" is Apollo's first new release since his Ivory (Marfil) deluxe album landed in August last year, and also follows his 2023 Best New Artist Grammy nomination.

Apollo says of the new single: "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."

At this year's Grammys, Apollo revealed that he has some new collaborations coming this year with Kali Uchis and Daniel Caesar.
