Omar Lyefook MBE is without doubt, one of the greatest soul music talents the United Kingdom has produced in the last 40 years.
If anyone has doubts about that, then they might want to consider the list of legendary artists who happily line up to collaborate with him musically, or simply sing his praises – from Stevie Wonder, the late Leon Ware, Erykah Badu, Common, through to Carleen Anderson, D’Angelo, and Soul II Soul’s Caron Wheeler, Angie Stone and U.K. artists Courtney Pine, Rodney P, Kele LeRoc, Natasha Watts and Estelle, all appreciate his truly original and unique voice, musicianship and songwriting talent.
First gaining international attention via that signature hit, There’s Nothing Like This, Omar launched his series of standout solo albums, the latest of which Brighter The Days was released to great acclaim in late 2025, with a remixed album being released in June 2026.
"When I grow up I wanna be Omar" Stevie Wonder
"One of the best voices I've ever heard" Erykah Badu
"Do drop off a copy of your new album when it's finished" King Charles
"His importance as an artist within soul music cannot be understated" BBC
