Omar Apollo has shared new ballad ‘Archetype’ and announced details of a deluxe edition of his recent debut ‘Ivory’.The downbeat track, which you can listen to below, finds Apollo “sailing through a downtempo beat punctuated by loud-soft-loud dynamics in the production and his signature falsetto, while he expresses the feelings of excitement and love in finding newfound commitment”, according to a press release.It is the first track he has released since his debut dropped in April and will feature on the forthcoming expanded version of the record.The deluxe edition will feature five extra tracks including ‘Archetype’ along with ‘Endlessly’, ‘Highlight’, ‘Saving All My Love’ and ‘Pretty Boy’.Reviewing ‘Ivory’, NME awarded Apollo’s debut album four stars and described the record as being packed with “silky songs dripping with serious drama.”It added: “Throughout ‘Ivory’, Apollo’s goal is self-reflection. He does this with heart-wrenching specificity on Kali Uchis team-up ‘Bad Life’, which addresses the inner turmoil that accompanies moving on from a former lover, before reaching a cathartic breaking point on ‘Killing Me’, where romantic anxieties have caused him to “hold back feelings like it’s the end of my life”. “So when the soaring ‘Go Away’ arrives, it feels breathtakingly uplifting.

It follows 2021's self-titled project, one of our favorite albums of the year. "I'm just learning how to have a balance of everything within the same space and just not necessarily put a lot of pressure on what we create," Staples said of his new music last year.

initially shut in 2019 for a planned one-year refurbishment, though those plans were scuppered after a fire broke out at the venue in January 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic and “colossal water damage” then further held up progress.KOKO’s restoration and redevelopment has now been completed, and it intends to relaunch next month as a “50,000-square foot state-of-the-art live music venue and broadcasting house”.New additions to KOKO include its 200-capacity Fly Tower ‘venue within a venue’, a new shop/DJ space (which will feature “exclusive merch drops and artist collaborations”) and a morning to late-night pizzeria and tap bar, with Café KOKO also set to host intimate live performances.After Lianne La Havas recently announced a trio of shows at KOKO in May, the venue has this morning (March 1) confirmed a host of names who will perform as part of its relaunch.The likes of Pete Doherty, Jorja Smith, Kim Gordon, Tems, Portico Quartet, Omar Apollo, Remi Wolf and more have all confirmed gigs at KOKO in the coming months.

Omar Apollo emerged out of Indiana in 2017 as a cult favorite singer-songwriter making genre-disregarding pop for a post-Frank Ocean landscape. 2020 saw the release of his "debut project" Apolonio, and on April 8 of this year he'll share IVORY, which is billed as his "debut album." Huge difference, obviously.
