Omar

“This week Gilles is joined by UK soul legend, Omar, live in session, performing tracks from his current album, The Man.
Omar, who first achieved widespread success in 1990 with his ‘There’s Nothing Like This’ album, has been a mainstay of the UK soul scene ever since, collaborating with soul and hiphop legends such as Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Common and Angie Stone, as well as the now deceased ODB, and Guru, of Gangstarr fame.”

“Album of the week comes courtesy of British soul singer/songwriter, Omar, featuring his new LP ‘The Man’, and Gilles pays tribute to US soul/folk singer Richie Havens who recently passed away. There’s brand new music from the frontier of club culture, featuring producers such as Gold Panda, Pearson Sound, Nicolas Jaar, Romare and LV remixing Armenian virtuoso Tigran Hamasyan. Plus there’s new Janelle Monae featuring Erykah, new hiphop with a return of the mighty Slum Village and De La Soul, and a reinterpretation of classic Black Sabbath played alongside a classic from 1970! And to keep things worldwide, Gilles digs in the crates pulling out some classic Freddie Hubbard, Yusef Lateef, and Augustus Pablo.”
