This continues to be a big year for Omar, not only does it mark his 40th year as a recording artist, he will soon commence his second North American tour, and with this, his 3rd and final single ahead of his Impressive Collective album 'Brighter The Days' he combines his talents with another true British music icon, and as a bonus adds a genuine US jazz legend into the mix.
Don't forget to catch up with single 'Research' & 'Brighter The Days' (see review HERE) but hang on! What's this Motown groove featuring the Modfather himself, Paul Weller (from The Jam you know). The best thing Paul's been associated with since The Style Council (Ed. discuss amongst yourselves) as Omar and Weller re-discover 60's soul horns, organ and backing vocals! This ain't the Bowie/Jagger trite love letter to Motown, this is the real thing.
And whilst we're at it, lets get some big Lalo Schifrin strings out for some soul-bossa beach groove with 'There's Much Love In The World' with added "Stan Getz" sax.
Did I say 'organ', no normal organ - it's Ronnie Foster (fresh from Smoove & Turrell - see review HERE): "Organ for hire!" he's your man. Oh! isn't Omar 'The Man'?
