"Be careful with me," Omar Apollo warns o in his latest album's opening track, but when he sits down to chat with Us Weekly, the 27-year-old singer - nominated as Best New Artist at last year's Grammys - is playful and feeling confident after "an amazing two days.," He's between stops on his God Said No World Tour, and he's evolved from the man who, in a "pretty rough," 2023, sculpted the shards of a broken heart into music for that album.
He's also someone who recognizes the emotional weight of this project: "If your frequency isn't there, you're not there - it's kind of hard to [get] into it." This could explain why God Said No, released in late June with titles such as "Dispose of Me" and "Done With You," didn't explode into summer like Roman candles. Perhaps fall when summer flings have festered and listeners need relatable lyrics about relationships gone wrong - is its season. Here, the Mexican American artist opens up to Us about recovering from heartache and protecting his peace as his star status ascends.
For Omar Apollo newbies, how would you describe your music?
