Lead single, ‘Future’s Calling,’ ascends radio charts
Press Release
Residence/Centricity Music’s cinematic, alternative-pop duo Apollo LTD releases its first album in over three years, “Hello Human.” The duo’s third album and follow-up to 2021’s “Nothing is Ordinary, Everything is Beautiful” features hit radio singles “Redemption Song,” “Soul Worth Saving” and newest single, “Future’s Calling.”
All of the songs on “Hello Human” were written by Apollo LTD’s Jordan Phillips and Adam Stark, or co-written by the duo with hitmaking songwriters Paul Duncan, Hank Bentley, Jeff Pardo and Ethan Hulse.
“ ‘Hello Human’ is an album about the human experience and discovering how God relates to us in every aspect of it. The ups and the downs. Joy and sorrow. Pain and beauty,” Phillips shared. “As God meets us where we are, he equips us with eyes to see things as they truly are. And in that process, we learn what it means to be a little closer to human in the way God intended.”
Stark added, “God gives meaning to the human experience. This is an album about waking up to the life God intends for us. While we are here on Earth for a short time reconciling the way it is with the way it was meant to be, Jesus serves as our blueprint for how to be human. The message of the gospel frees us in a way that nothing else can, so that we can become the image bearers God intended. Or at least a little bit closer every day, hopefully.”
“We’ve all been through seasons of our life where we’ve felt hopeless,” the Apollo LTD duo jointly wrote on Instagram about “Hello Human’s” current radio hit “Future’s Calling.” “This song is about holding on to hope and joy and choosing to believe that the future is gonna be better than you can imagine.”
The “Future’s Calling” chorus shares: “I know you're lonely // And your broken hearted // Always fighting to find your way // You're barely holding on, holding on, holding on // But all you need is just a little faith // The future's calling your name.”
Apollo LTD is playing its new music and fan favorites live while on tour, sharing an explosive energy on stage featuring Phillips’ elastic vocal instrument and Stark’s playing that has been honed as a session instrumentalist and years of touring as a lead guitarist. In addition to their own headline events, the duo has shared stages with Switchfoot, We Are Messengers and Colton Dixon.

More on About Apollo LTD
Named after the NASA program that sent the first human beings to the Moon, Apollo LTD has become an escalating highlight reel since their formation in 2015. Making cinematic, alt-pop music with a message that reaches skyward and rooted in a mix of organic instruments, electronic soundscapes, anthemic hooks and shimmering production, Apollo LTD have an “expert grasp of the pop genre,” says The Atlantic Magazine, as Artist Direct agrees they are “a band that builds melodic hooks, powerful pop tunes and lyrics that play with expectation.” Consequence of Sound says, “Each melody could be a hook in its own right ... radio friendly single with bite.”
Making waves with the Billboard No. 1 radio single “Sunday Morning Feeling (Feat. Ryan Stevenson),” the American Songwriter-premiered video “You,” and hit song “Patient” from sophomore album “Nothing is Ordinary, Everything is Beautiful” (2021), along with the Top 40 hits “Gold” and “On The Way Up” from Dove Award-nominated “Out of Body” (2019) LP, Apollo LTD songs have been heard on outlets “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Station 19,” and shows featured on ESPN, FOX Sports, Comedy Central, NBC and ABC, while gathering well over 50 million streams worldwide.
