\n\tChrissy Chlapecka<\/a> is stepping into her power again. On Friday, the Girlie Pop<\/a><\/em> diva released her single \u201cApollo,\u201d which she penned following a year of darkness and self-reconstruction. Now, the song is a radiant cyberpop anthem of queer resilience.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI wrote Apollo about the darkness I had felt throughout this year, and how I longed to chase the light I once knew myself as,\u201d Chlapecka tells Rolling Stone<\/em> in a statement. \u201cBattling a tough road of depression, the insanity of the music industry as an independent artist, trauma therapy from previous relationships, and the rollercoaster of life\u2026 had not only stopped me in my tracks, but it also allowed me to speak directly from my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tShe continues, \u201cThis song is about the return to oneself, knowing who you truly are on inside, even when darkness consumes you. This music video<\/a> was made to represent how I had to completely build myself back together into the fierce diva I\u2019ve always known that I am. By the end, I\u2019m a chromatic superhero ready to leave the planet\u2026 to my next song.\u201d<\/p>\n
