Omar Apollo has delivered a music video for his hit single “Evergreen.” Included on the crooning singer’s debut LP Ivory, which dropped in April, Apollo uses the track to reflect on his self-image in the wake of a broken relationship.
Following its initial release, the laid back “Evergreen” received a sped-up version. He also performed the song on NPR’s Tiny Desk.
Directed by Rubberband, the visual begins with Apollo pushing together set walls to create a makeshift room. Inside, he solemnly sits on the floor, leaning against a wall.
As the video goes on, Apollo explores the room before it gradually begins to fall in on itself. Panels from the ceiling crash to the floor and dust flies in through an open window.
Content in his misery and observing the destruction around him, Apollo saunters out of the faux room.
While Ivory is only Apollo’s first full-length project, the Indiana-born singer is up for Best New Artist at the upcoming Grammy Awards.
