Omar Apollo returns with his brand new single “Bad Life” featuring Kali Uchis via Warner Records.
The Teo Halm-produced “Bad Life” is a warm and heartfelt track that sees both Omar and Kali vocalizing over gentle chords as the song builds. The track marks Omar‘s first release to follow his Spotify Singles cover of “California Dreamin'” and a hazy electronic-tinged rework of this summer’s “Go Away,” and follows the artist’s recent Latin Grammy nominations for his C. Tangana collaboration “Te Olvidaste” in the Record of the Year and Best Alternative Song categories respectively.
Speaking on the themes of the new track, Apollo says:
To me, Bad Life represents putting in energy into a relationship and not getting anything in return. It’s a song about being resentful towards somebody — wanting them to have “bad life” with whoever they’re with now. I posted a snippet in January teasing it and Kali called me telling me she loved it, so I asked her if she wanted to get on it. Her voice sounds amazing on it, I love her tone.
