God Said No is the upcoming second studio album by American singer Omar Apollo, scheduled for release on June 28, 2024, through Warner Records. It will include contributions from Mustafa and actor Pedro Pascal, and was preceded by the singles "Spite" and "Dispose of Me".[1]
Background and recording[edit]
God Said No was partially recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, and produced alongside Teo Halm, Carter Lang and Blake Slatkin.[2]
Apollo stated that the album is a "reflection of [his] life for the past 2 years" and "doesn't feel like it's a bunch of songs put together", calling it "a sequence that is made to be listened to front to back".[3] It was called a "survey of the emotional wreckage that followed the end of a torrid love affair" in a press release.[4] Apollo titled the album after a remark of his own when the relationship ended, which is also intended as a play on the Spanish phrase "que sera, sera" (English for "whatever will be, will be").[3]
