OMAR

With Omar’s February shows sold out we are pleased to announce that he will return in November.

“When I grow up, I wanna be like Omar” Stevie Wonde

“Omar is one of my favourite artists.. ever” Erykah Badu

There are precious few, if any contemporary UK artists whose creative credentials and influence extend as far and so consistently wide as Freestyle Records newest signing Omar. Since first breaking through to worldwide renown all the way back in 1991 with his first releases on Gilles Petersons seminal Talking Loud label, and going onto work with all manner of musical legends including a certain Stevie, Erykah Badu, Angie Stone, Syreeta Wright, Common, and Carleen Anderson. With willing, enthusiastic and supportive collaborators like that, it’s undeniable that Omar maintains his reputation as a soul music Don par excellence. Fast forward to 2013, and Omar’s reputation for being a thoroughly original artist following his own individual path remains undiminished. After recently picking up an M.B.E for his outstanding contribution to the UK music scene, even the British Establishment has now acknowledged what many already appreciated & understood for many years

Omar’s latest album ‘The Man,’ is without doubt the strongest of his entire career. The unique voice remains, the far reaching influences of soul, funk, latin and reggae remain, but with a more live feeling production, this feels like his most accomplished and mature to date. It also features guests Soul II Souls’ Caron Wheeler, Germany’s Hidden Jazz Quartett, and legendary bass player Pino Palladino.

Stevie Wonder knows, Erykah Badu knows….and now surely everyone knows, Omar is The Man.
