Although the Mexican-American artist has sung in Spanish before, the new track is the first entirely in his native language and the first specifically steeped in Latin culture &#8211; fusing his signature heart-wrenching R&#038;B with a sultry dembow rhythm. The result is an infectious anthem simultaneously fit for dancing at the club or crying in the bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, Omar says: <em>&#8220;This was the first song I made fully in Spanish. I was in my hometown for my brother&#8217;s wedding, and I was at the attic where I used to live with six other people and where I used to record all of my early music. I was with my bassist Manny and my homie Tony and we just started making beats like we did back in the day. I got the verse and hook and then we stopped. Once I was back in LA I brought it to my homie Kenny Beats. The song is about not wanting to repeat the same cycle of emotions- but also about being stuck in that cycle too. Coming in and out of the cycle of a relationship.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Listen to &#8220;Fr\u00edo&#8221; above, check out the full tour dates <a href=\"https:\/\/omarapollo.com\/#TOUR\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Omar Apollo shares his Spanish debut &#8220;Fr\u00edo&#8221; produced by Omar himself and Kenny Beats.
