Omar

Few UK artists have maintained the creative influence and longevity of Omar, the Freestyle Records artist widely recognized since his 1991 breakthrough on Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud. Collaborating with legends like Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, and Common, Omar's career spans over three decades.

Omar’s signature song, There’s Nothing Like This, marked the start of a career filled with acclaimed albums and collaborations. His 8th studio album, Love in Beats, showcases his evolution, highlighting his innovative fusion of styles and deep musical roots. Love in Beats was released on January 27, 2017 with Freestyle Records. The album was produced by his brother, Grammy winner Scratch Professer, and features Leon Ware, Robert Glasper, and Natasha Watts. This eclectic 12-track record blends soul, funk, Caribbean rhythms, jazz, and spoken word.

From his Guildhall School of Music training to receiving an MBE for services to music, Omar continues to influence UK soul, cementing his legacy with albums like The Man (2013) and this dynamic new release.
