Omar’s friend Mustafa also contributed to the songwriting, enhancing the authenticity and personal nature of the lyrics.
Speaking about the creation of “3 Boys,” Omar Apollo says,
“When I first started writing songs I would often write about unrequited love. Eventually I wrote songs about the complexities that come with a relationship. “3 Boys” was my first time writing about something non-monogamous. Having more than one person to talk to. I wrote the song on a rainy day in London. I spent most of December there, mostly just because I wanted to get out of America. I ended up going to the studio more than I thought I would. I wrote the song with a friend of mine, Dylan Wiggins. It seemed like we were both in the same mind state for a song like this. The song wrote itself really quickly. I also had my friend Mustafa help me with a few lines after I played it for him.”
IVORY demonstrated Omar Apollo’s ability to cross genre lines and language barriers, as evidenced by the hit single “Evergreen (You Didn’t Deserve Me At All).”
Omar’s music is a blend of R&B, soul, and indie pop, reflecting his diverse musical influences. His style is unique and authentic, embodying his personal experiences and emotions. “3 Boys” is a testament to his growth and evolution as an artist, signaling a promising future ahead.
