Ivory is the debut studio album by American singer Omar Apollo, released on April 8, 2022, by Warner Records. The album was promoted by five singles: "Go Away", "Bad Life", "Invincible", "Killing Me" and "Tamagotchi". The album's deluxe edition, titled Ivory (Marfil), featuring five additional tracks including the singles "Archetype" and "Highlight", was released on August 12, 2022. On October 4, 2022, "Evergreen" was released as the overall album's eighth single and Apollo's first radio single.

Ivory received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising Apollo's musical growth and vocal performances. Commercially, the album became Apollo's first-ever entry on the US Billboard 200 peaking at number 74 selling 13,000 album-equivalent units.[1]

Background

Apollo's debut album had to go through a rewriting process as he was dissatisfied with the initial version of the album. Apollo explained, "I had this feeling that I didn't want to promote or tour this music. I wasn't excited about it. It was good music — it wasn't bad music, but it didn't feel like me".[2] Despite the disappointment from his record label Warner, Apollo was allowed to proceed with the rewrite, starting in November 2021, after releasing two lead singles.[3]

On February 9, 2022, Apollo announced the release date as well as the title of the debut album.[4]

Singles

The album's lead single "Go Away" was released on July 8, 2021.[5] The single was accompanied by a music video and a live performance on The Tonight Show.[6]

"Bad Life" was released as the second single on November 3, 2021. The song features guest vocals from Kali Uchis, making it the second time they collaborate, since the track "Hey Boy" from Apolonio.[7] The single also has a music video.

On February 9, 2022, along with the announcement of the debut album's release date and title, Apollo released the third single "Invincible", which features Daniel Caesar.[8] The single was also supported by a music video.

On March 11, 2022, the fourth single "Killing Me" was released, which included another live performance on The Tonight Show.[9][10]

The fifth single "Tamagotchi" was released on March 23, 2022.[11] Following the release of the album, the music video for the single was released.[12]

On July 15, 2022, Apollo announced the release of a deluxe version of Ivory along with the release of "Archetype", the album's sixth single and one of the additional tracks from the album's deluxe edition.[13][14] Another song "Highlight" was released on August 5, 2022.[15]

In September 2022, the track "Evergreen" went viral on the platform TikTok, boosting the song's streams on Spotify and Apple Music and garnering Apollo his first Billboard Hot 100 chart entry.[16][17] The song was sent to contemporary hit radio on October 4, 2022, as the album's eighth single and Apollo's first radio single.[18]

Composition

Musically, Ivory is described to be an eclectic, genre-hopping pop and R&B album,[19][20][21][22][23] that incorporates elements of alternative R&B, hip hop, indie-pop,[13][24] along with sounds of Latin trap, funk, electropop, psychedelic music and traditional Mexican music.[22][23][25][26]

Songs

The album begins with the title track, "Ivory", serving as a short intro with Apollo singing a cappella.[27] The second track, "Talk" is an uptempo pop punk song with scuzzy, strummed guitars that reminisce of The Strokes.[19][20][28] The third track, "No Good Reason", is a song that "bursts into life" features a funky, bubbly synth production noted to be experimental for Apollo.[29] The fourth track, "Invincible", is a collaboration with Daniel Caesar. It is described as a "emotionally climatic" that grapples with mortality and the impact people leave on each other.[30] Clash Music noted that the collaboration was "beautifully arranged" with the symphonic harmonies throughout the song giving it a "hypnotic" sound. The fifth track, "Endlessly Interlude" is an upbeat '90s R&B song.[24][31] A full version was later released as a track on the deluxe edition of Ivory. "Killing Me" is a bilingual R&B track about longing someone that you can't get out of your head.[32] It is one of the two songs on the album where Apollo is singing in Spanish. "Go Away" is a synth-pop song with confessional lyrics about wanting someone and running out of time with them. Apollo's falsetto and the slick groove of the production were commended.[33][34][35]

"En El Olvido", the eleventh track, is a stripped-down corrido sung completely in Spanish. Apollo said he was inspired by performances by Juan Gabriel in creating the song.[23] The twelfth track, "Tamagotchi", is a Latin trap and R&B song featuring production by The Neptunes.[29][36] The song is described as bass-heavy and flirty with Apollo rap-singing in Spanish and English over a plucked Samba cadence and a bouncy melody.[13][37][38][39] "Evergreen" is an R&B song with an old school Motown feel.[20][31] Pitchfork praised the song as it showcased Apollo's range, going from "wizened soul belter to '90s boy band innocence".[26] According to Apollo, "Evergreen" was the last song finished and turned in for the album.[40]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 79, based on seven reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[41]

Reviewing for DIY, Alisdair Grice said "Omar Apollo inspires, and his competence as a vocalist is unmistakable on Ivory. Conflating his electro-pop tendencies with the occasional stride of a campfire guitar, he turns everything he touches to glistening radio gold."[25] Rolling Stone's writer Julyssa Lopez praised Apollo's ability to "[let] the music speak for [his identity and sexuality and that he] doesn’t hold back in his lyrics.[22] Cora Jordon from Clash praised the album and said, "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."[24] Pitchfork's Cameron Cook praised Apollo's vocals, saying that "while the musicianship on Ivory remains lush and intricate throughout, Apollo's voice has always been his ace in the hole. He can shift from wizened soul belter to '90s boy band innocence in a heartbeat", and then commended the variety of genres by summing up the review with "Apollo’s sheer talent has strained against the limits of the micro-genre he came up in. With its amalgam of genres, tones, and tastes, Ivory goes beyond thinking outside the box: It's as if the box were never even there to begin with."[20] Neive McCarthy of Dork called the album "unpredictable and deeply transformative".[26] Domenic Strazzabosco of Riff Magazine wrote: "Ivory gives Omar Apollo the fullest platform to display his songwriting, vocal dexterity and the converging musical styles that influence him".[44] Meanwhile, in a mixed review, Ammar Kalia of The Guardian labelled the album as "overstuffed", while praising Apollo's vocals and "aptitude for unexpected genres".[19]
