We got put on to Omar Apollo through his Friends EP last year after hearing his single “So Good” out and about. Ever since, we’ve been keeping tabs on him and it’s all come to the release of his new single “Imagine U” today. Produced by Kenny Beats, the track has that signature funk we love and have grown accustomed to hearing from him.
If you’re not up on Omar’s music yet, this is a good start. Here’s what he said about the song:
“I’m all about the feeling when it comes to music. The lyrics and melody came to me so naturally and I feel like free thinking is what’s missing in a lot of music nowadays. There’s a guitar part I played that’s pitched up as soon as the song starts that I love and when I first made the song that part was all I had. I was obsessed with it—I kept playing it on loop cause it felt so good to me. I was listening to a lot of Daft Punk at the time so I was really inspired by those themes.”
