Omar follows up his recent EP "Live For Me."

Omar Apollo is one of the more unsung talents in the alternative space. He has plenty of high-prolife features for artists such as Kali Uchis, Daniel Caesar, Joji, and more. Apollo also dabbles in Latin music, which can be credited to his Mexican parents. All in all, he is an extremely versatile talent that deserves more recognition for his work. Omar Apollo is back to prove his skillset again with "Spite."

This is his first offering of 2024 as a whole so far. He did come through in October with a four-track EP called Live For Me. It featured the lead single "Ice Slippin," and most of the songs were moodier in tone and production. With "Spite" though, Omar brings some more lively and upbeat production courtesy of a guitar and light drums. On this record, he is singing about a relationship that has him strangled.

Listen To "Spite" By Omar Apollo

He has split up with this girl, but he is always thinking about her and the times they spent together. "Why you gotta ruin every night? / Fifty K, I spend it out of spite / Every time I see you on my phone / Hate that I still need you in my life." Hopefully, we get a new full-length project from him soon. It has been just about two years since that happened. For now, run up "Spite" and its music video above.

Quotable Lyrics:

I don't wanna hit you back on purpose
Never said that I acted perfect
I'm too far, I'm across the boat now
Ain't been the same since I left my hometown
I've been thinking 'bout moving by you
It's been nice having somewhere to fly to
