CRITIC REVIEWS

Conflating his electro-pop tendencies with the occasional stride of a campfire guitar, he turns everything he touches to glistening radio gold.

Pining falsettos, heated funk, a vulnerable kind of seduction: all hallmarks of an Omar Apollo release.

Indeed, Apollo creates a new sound within his alternative style. Bouncing from indie to alternative R&B to hip-hop, ‘Ivory’ is a culmination of his interests, all mushed together to create his own sense of authenticity.

Ivory es una fuerte carta de presentación dado que la diversidad de estilos musicales se presenta de una manera más que completa, sin embargo en ese camino se pierde un poco ... read more
Álbum agradável de ouvir que realça muito a versatilidade e o talento de Omar Apollo tanto em melodias mais pop, como na vibe do r&b contemporâneo e na influência de sua origem latina. Para muitos pode soar monótono, afinal são 16 faixas, mas acredito que o ouvinte deve entrar na atmosfera suave do disco para se envolver e imergir nas músicas, que são muito bem escritas por sinal.
