Omar – The Anthology – 2XLP

Much loved and influential UK soul legend Omar Lyefook – who has been awarded an MBE for his contributions to the music world – put out his seminal 33 track anthology back in 2020. It came on Freestyle Records and now makes it to wax, with all of his classic collaborations incuded as well as his most notable hit, ‘There’s Nothing Like This,’ as well as ‘It’s So,’ the big, floor facing cut that always amps up any club with its bristling drum work taking cues from the sounds Omar heard at The Notting Hill Carnival. There are plenty of lesser known gems form the evergreen star, too, plus exclusive and previously unheard tracks ‘Pass It On’ ft Terri Walker and ‘Long Time Coming.’
