Omar Apollo is an independent alternative artist from Indiana. He released his debut EP, 'Stereo', in 2018 after spending the previous year sharing singles and demos on SoundCloud. In 2019, he quickly followed up with his second EP, 'Friends', and began teasing his debut studio album.

Warner is a renowned music publishing company and a division of the Warner Music Group. With its origins dating back to 1811, when Chappell & Company was founded as a music publishing company and instrument shop in London's Bond Street, Warner/Chappell has grown to become one of the largest music publishers in the industry.

Established in 1987 after Warner Communications acquired Chappell & Co., Warner/Chappell boasts an impressive catalog of over one million songs and represents more than 65,000 talented songwriters. Having operated under the name Warner/Chappell Music for over three decades, the company recently rebranded itself as *Warner Chappell Music* in May 2019, unveiling a fresh new logo.

With various name variations such as *Warner/Chappell*, *Warner-Chappell*, *Warner Chapell*, and *Warner Chappel*, this label continues to make significant contributions to the music industry by nurturing and promoting exceptional talent worldwide.

Omar Apollo releases his second studio album, God Said No via Warner Records. God Said No was executive produced by Teo Halm and features musician Mustafa and actor Pedro Pascal. The album title is Omar’s interpretation of “lo que sera, sera” which translates to “whatever will be, will be” or “it is what it is.” The phrase embodies the album with Omar’s tongue-in-cheek humorous outlook on the suffering that comes from surrendering and accepting whatever is thrown at you by life, a relationship or lover. Arriving a little over two years after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album Ivory which earned Apollo a Best New Artist nomination at the 2023 Grammys, God Said No was born out of the whirlwind that followed his debut and nonstop touring, on his headline tour, in support of SZA’s SOS arena tour along with Billie Eilish’s Latin American stadium tour. Apollo booked a three- month stay in London that fall, where he ruminated on walks down rain-soaked cobblestone streets and mined the poems of Mary Oliver, Victoria Chang, and Ocean Vuong for inspiration. Speaking on musical inspirations with Rolling Stone in the May issue, Omar cited artists like Kate Bush, Labi Siffre, Giorgio Moroder, Beyoncé, and Lana del Rey as being in heavy rotation during that time in London. Camped out in London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with his trusted collaborators, producers Halm, Carter Lang, and Blake Slatkin, Apollo built the bones of his melodrama. The 14-track album is a survey of the emotional wreckage that followed the end of a torrid love affair. Apollo borrowed the title from something his friend said while processing the relationship.
