Following his Apolonio album, Omar Apollo is back with more. The somber and ballad-sounding new single from him features Kali Uchis and is titled “Bad Life.” The record is a response to an ex, wishing them the worst and it’s the second collaboration between the two.
“To me, ‘Bad Life’ represents putting…energy into a relationship and not getting anything in return. It’s a song about being resentful towards somebody — wanting them to have [a] “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,” Apollo said. “Her voice sounds amazing on it, I love her tone.”
