Joe Apollo hits a raw nerve with “Assumptions (Come Over),” the undeniable standout from his 7MISSEDCALLS EP. The track doesn’t just ride the wave of modern R&B—it sinks deep into the undercurrents of late-night introspection, where emotions run high and words left unsaid carry the heaviest weight.
Built on a stripped-down yet immersive production, the song gives Apollo’s voice room to breathe. His delivery, smooth and reflective, channels the moody intensity of early Bryson Tiller and PartyNextDoor, but with a distinct signature—less polished, more personal. The beat pulses softly beneath him, never intruding, but amplifying the unspoken tension in every lyric.
Lyrically, “Assumptions (Come Over)” unravels the complications of love caught in limbo. It’s about miscommunication, regret, and the quiet desperation to be understood. The hook, aching with unresolved emotion, lingers long after the song ends. Joe Apollo doesn’t just sing about vulnerability—he makes it resonate, flipping emotional uncertainty into a hypnotic groove.
With over 28,000 Spotify streams—far eclipsing the other tracks on the EP—it’s clear this song strikes a chord. “Assumptions (Come Over)” isn’t just another late-night R&B track; it’s a testament to Apollo’s ability to turn emotional complexity into something sonically captivating. If this is a preview of what’s to come, he’s well on his way to carving out a name for himself in the R&B/hip-hop fusion scene.
