Omar Apollo Releases 'Te Maldigo' Music Video

Omar Apollo has released 'Te Maldigo,' a song for Luca Guadagnino's upcoming film Queer, which stars Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey; the film is set to release on November 27. The track, produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, showcases a tender Spanish-language ballad performed by Apollo, who also makes his acting debut in the film. The accompanying music video, directed by Guadagnino, features Apollo in character and captures a heart-wrenching performance in a dimly lit bar. Queer, based on William S. Burroughs' novella, received acclaim at its recent Venice Film Festival premiere, earning a standing ovation. The film focuses on the life of Lee, played by Craig, navigating love in post-World War II Mexico City, and includes elements of sensuality and surrealism, as critiqued in early reviews. Apollo's preparation for a sex scene with Craig included a significant physical transformation, reflecting his dedication to the role.
