The amazing new album features collaborations with Stevie Wonder, Angie Stone, Common, Rodney P, Ashman, Estelle and JC Bentley. 'Feeling You', 'Lay It Down' and .Your Mess. have already had exclusive radio play by top DJs like Trevor Nelson & Giles Peterson. Other tracks like .Gimme Sum. & 'Stylin' are also getting played & are on the Radio 1Xtra playlist so listen out for them.

The new album is available to buy on CD here. We know you'll love it!

Sing [If You Want It], released this year on Ether Records, the British soul supremo.s sixth and perhaps funkiest album so far. Featuring guest appearances from Stevie Wonder, Angie Stone, Common, Estelle, Rodney P, JC Bentley, Canitbe and Ashman, and with additional production from Omar.s brother, Scratch Professor, it.s a brilliant collection of music that manages to break new ground for the artist, yet at the same time re-establishes that unmistakable, unique Omar signature sound with his army of fans.

On the last album, Best By Far, I was very influenced by soundtracks and Latin jazz,. explains Omar. .This time I wanted something a bit more funky, something to put my music back in the clubs. I still use the live instruments and the strings when I feel them, .cause that.s me, but the kick and the snare are much louder this time. That.s why my brother.s more involved, .cause he.s great with those hip-hop beats..

It is, of course, a major coup for any UK recording artist to be able to call on the services of a musical legend like Stevie Wonder. The simple truth is that Stevie has been a fan of Omar.s music since he first heard There.s Nothing Like This back in 1992 . the same year he promised to write Omar .his first number one..
