Omar is without doubt, one of the greatest soul music talents the
UK has produced in the last 35 years. He's a genuinely unique
artist, with a sound of his own that is so immediately
identifiable, that you will know you are hearing an Omar
track within seconds - the stamp of true originality.In this
latest episode of The Paul Weller Fan Podcast, we hear about his
musical DNA, the special letters that now sit after his name (MBE
FGS!), we talk about how it all began with his first single in
1985, Mr Postman (recorded when he was just 16 years old !) to an
invite from Paul Weller to join The Style Council for shows in
Japan and at the Royal Albert Hall, and the track that changed
everything for Omar when re-released in 1990 - There's Nothing
Like This.

We also hear about the making of his new album - including tracks
created with Paul Weller at Black Barn Studio (music that’s going
to make you want to buy a parka and a Vespa!).
