Omar's album, Best By Far

Okay, I must say that I've been a fan of his sight-unseen for a minute now, and I've just heard 3 new tracks and I can honestly say, I don't know anybody out (besides P) that can make Bossanova sound sexy like Omar does on Essensual!!! Ya'll have'ta check this man out. there's links to 3 of the tracks on this page: http://www.okayplayer.com/nowhearthis/ scroll down until you see this:

Audio (Real): "Essensual" | "Be Thankful" (Remix feat. Angie Stone & Guru) | "In the Morning"
Music video: "Be Thankful" (feat. Angie Stone).....Promotional Video (Prod./Dir. Brian "BKyle" Atkins)

and to think, i practically missed the whole thing!

music Serious Profession music

I was always hoping to find a studio version of that.

Omar is the man. The lounge music of Best By Far didn't blow me away but that cd definitely has its moments. My favorites are I Guess, To The Top, and In the Morning. If possible, I recommend that you seek out his other albums This Is Not A Love Song and Music.

Damn, I wish this album were new! I've had this album for quite a while now. I can't believe it is just now coming out stateside. I hope he gets more attention.
