NEW YORK (AP) — In just four songs on his latest EP, “Live For Me,” Omar Apollo processes death, grief, acceptance and the lack of it — big, traumatic emotions — through intimate, lush sounds.
The EP, out Friday, follows Apollo’s 2022 debut album “Ivory” and a 2023 Grammy nomination for best new artist.
APOLLO: A lot of the songs I write are emotions that I dealt with or am dealing with at that time.
APOLLO: The only thing I can hope for is for (fans) to be inspired in whatever way they choose.
I’m up there trying my hardest, sweating, you know, out of breath, just trying to put on a good show.
