Omar to release 2-disc ‘Anthology’

Omar is set to release an anthology of his greatest work, including some of the soul singer’s most recognisable songs, classic collaborations and he says tracks “that have been slept on” up until now. It features two previously unheard songs including a new collaboration with Terri Walker called ‘Pass It On’. There’s also his duets with Erykah Badu, Leon Ware, Caron Wheeler and The Scratch Professor.

Omar says: "I feel blessed. I try to keep things moving and evolving, and when I finish an album, I always put my heart and soul into it. I'm looking at it from an outsider's point of view, because I never really see myself making the music. It's like I'm the vessel and somebody's controlling what I do, I just happen to be the one that gets the praise for it".

‘The Anthology’ is a double CD and vinyl release on Freestyle Records out on January 31st. Details are on Omar's website.
