T-Bose chats to English neo-soul singer and songwriter Omar Omar Lye-Fook
Omar Christopher Lye-Fook MBE is widely recognized by critics, peers, and fans alike as the "father of British neo-soul." Long before the term "neo-soul" was coined in the United States to describe artists like D’Angelo, Maxwell, and Erykah Badu, Omar was already fusing classic soul, funk, jazz, and reggae with sophisticated classical arrangements in London. His career spans over four decades, during which he has remained a fiercely independent icon, an artists' artist, and an enduring symbol of British musical innovation. Kaya FM
