You're All I Need - Omar Simon Single Review
Single Review
Thirty five year old Caribbean singer-songwriter Omar Simon, now based in Dublin, releases a sublime slice of soulfulness. The colourful cultural fusions of calypso, gospel and reggae have clearly impacted on young Omar who moved there as a youngster from London.
This smooth and laidback gem has all the flavours you'd expect by someone raised on Montserrat. This ain't reggae, but soul-styled Hip Hop of the highest order. The funky and heavy bassline (and heavenly backups) is an instant hook which draws you right into his unique melting pot.
Look out for his debut album Our World out September.
