Release Notes:
There cannot have been many times a bass clarinet b-line was destined to become one of the most memorable and catchiest moments in contemporary soul, but on the new single, The Man, that's precisely what happens. Add to that a stunning vocal performance, the slinkiest of beautiful key changes, and an uplifting vibe that simply emanates class and style, and you will understand why those who were privileged to hear The Man early on, all without exception, flipped, slipped and fell totally in love with its soul, its groove and irrepressible spirit.
This release sees three reworkings of the title track; US mainstay of conscious hip hop and electronica, Shafiq Husayn, literally leapt at the chance to remix The Man and gives it a minor mood feel, with spacey synthesiser lines added to emphasise this most memorable of melodies, Maddslinky (aka Zed Bias), came with a remix from a pumping, contemporary club direction including a driving beat coupled with spacy breakdowns and his trademark production skills, and Scratch Professer puts his unique stamp on his retwist of The Man like no one else could!
Completing the circle that began all the way back in the early 1990s, Omar has completely re-recorded his classic love song There's Nothing Like This, which this time features bass player to the Gods Pino Palladino. The touching sentiment remains undiminished, but with the addition of soaring strings, soulful, jazzy horns, an all round live and acoustic feel, plus an extended and new arrangement, Omar has done the impossible; improved upon the un-improvable, that is likely to become the definitive version of an already much adored classic.

One of the most underrated soul artists of today. Such a great voice, such a blessed musician
Totally agree he has so much talent
For anyone who comes from the UK and wants to make soulful tewnage Omar is a benchmark by which all must measure ourselves. His back catalog speaks for itself. Pure talent: no hype, no bullshit - just puuuure vibes and talent.

Omar is an unsung British talent and has been for years.
It's sad that Omar is not more popular in the states. His music is amazing.
Willie Dynamite He is popular to me;)
Willie Dynamite He has a fan in me! I first heard him on college radio station and I've been listening ever since.
That's okay, WIllie, but it is not a sad thing at all. He has a loyal fanbase in the states and around the world. He is very popular.... to his fans!!!!!
I know what you mean by saying that but, you got to learn how to let go of the mega-star prototype. He is a genius and true artist dedicated to his music. He couldn't do that if he was a slave to the record label like the mega stars are..True fan since 1996, bought everything he's made!!!
Just got a new one!
omar?
Happy for Omar. Looks like he’s a family man.
If a guy writes a song about you,like this you must be pretty special
This album is 10 years old today. Not only does it still hold up - it sets a precedent. A rare talent and I can personally attest: a gentleman and a good person. - Adam J.
This is one of Omars best tunes IMO.
Omars songs never seem to suffer from over
indulgence or collapse under there own weight
nor do they rely on too much pop element like
many other artists.
my top 3 along with his version of
Golden Brown n
Theres Nothing Like This:)
His version of golden brown is incredible. It's the song that made me notice him. He's been my favorite artist ever since.
Is it groovy? is it Soul? anyway... it's silky and pure honey. This artist has something special. Great!!!
Seeing Omar walking with his twin daughters is so heartwarming. Reminds me of when my daughter was a little madam, now she behaves as if she's my mum lol. I think that beautiful lady he walks with is his wife and mother to his twins. Omar truly is 'THE MAN'! Also the beat to this has a hip-hop feel, I can see myself writing bars to this
We should be so proud to have a British act that the septics look up to. The Godfather of Nu Soul surely.
Omar is a fu.... genius
A masterpiece from the Best Of British. ❤️🎶
This musik artist stayed true to himself, his musik, his family, and his fans. He didn't sell out for fame...And he's still doing well. You can't put a price tag on being loved and respected. Shalom.
Summer 2013 is saved! That voice with that B-Clarinettt over hiphop drums. Ouf!! Will be ordered on vinyl:)
Still Undisputed.
I've grown up with your music, Mr Omar. From back in the day when I told my Secondary school music teacher that I wanted to make music like "There's Nothing Like This". Even once passed you in the street. Only time I've ever been starstruck.
You're the Don - how you haven't been Knighted yet for your contribution to British and World music is beyond me but amen to keep on with the keeping on. Much respect.
From Orks, he got either an OBE or MBE...that’s a start
MBE in 2012
Thank you Daddy for this! ..
OMAR IS THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my dude! Been buying his stuff since the early 90s...just otherworldly gifted.
No question, this is the baddest brotha America knows little about. Been following him since NPR put me on him back in '07. Since then I've bought everything I could get my hands on. The Omar sound is so natural, so organic at the same time it's sophisticated...this is what American R&B is starving for! Keep do'n the damn thing Omar!!!!
Genius!
This guy reminds me of my good friend chinny.
Chinny if you're out there and reading... I salute you my brother!!!
who's chinny??
I love this song
Thanks, KJLH in Los Angeles, for playing this today.
The Man is a Genius !!!!!!! Period !!!! Thank You for the Inspiration !!!!
Just saw him in a gig in Paris, could actually meet him, he's really nice !
Mannnn...Im bumping this joint like it just came out yesterday. It is 2020.
Heart open surgery, certainly. 💗
Really great song!
Also the longest selfie around :)
Get all of his music bruh, one of the greatest in the last 25+ years and very slept on by some
Feel it..Seen? When he makes music and laughs, your soul goes open..
Simplicity is key, this video expresses everything this great track is about. Think about it, you might learn something. Not every video needs to be slick and shiny.
Im loving the new song. Loved Omar for years. Who are these 5 people who don't like this? Really!?
the bassline got some serious MADVILLAIN vibe to it. certainly one of this years best songs.
Just an every day walk down to the local shops ..Omar LyeFook alias Mr BarryTone Lowkey
One of my favorite songs ever!!! My Mantra!
Can’t believe I’ve heard this joint for the first time today hitting corners in Downtown Nashville out of all places.
I just bought the album, this music I want my unborn child to listen this while growing within me, it's seminal for him or her to hear real music!
ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE ARTIST! I FOUND HIM AGAIN! 😅🤗🤗🤗💗😍😍
Such an incredible talent.
You deserve to be much, much more famous.
like over 30 years.Its crazy.I remember him in high school.
Credit to him for never selling his soul. Personally I don't think there's a "mainstream artist" out there who can touch him, but I don't go for the commercial stuff, anyway.
😝😛 This ain’t no slapdash ting you know? 🕺🏾💃🏾
OMAR IS THE MAN LONDON SOUL KING . ONLY 1 Omar Lye-Fook
omar came on as a suprse guest for Roy Ayers last night in Brighton to do everybody loves the sunshine. Omar!!
Album coming out on Freestyle Records: 24 June 2013.
Omar! Never thought you would out do " There's Nothing Like This " and then you drop this bomb!! Just different level business sir .... lost for words, your chest .....Salute!
YES THE MAN IS OMAR
I'm gonna sound like an old fart, but Omar is not "neo-soul"; he's been around for 20+ years and has been making straight up Soul music all along. :-P
You ain't sounding like an old fart :-), just spoken the truth some of us music nerds know.
saschamaj 20 years ago we'd call this acid jazz.
Call him whatever you want as long as you appreciate his music, the man is dope and one of the UK's most underrated artists!
The worlds must underrated! Dude is legit! Been following him since day uno!
Omar actually started the neo soul genre.
The production on this record has a 1940s theme to it. Sounds like something from a Mary Poppins movie. I love it!
Only Omar can smash it like this.
Real Man, Real beat, Real voice, Real transitions. Nice.
This is music that one would want to share with the world. The CD is a mix of Funk, Jazz, African and R & B all in one. Loving it. Missy E of LOVE 103.7 FM
Omar is the truth
Omar still setting the pace! in the place!
one of the best music video's very pure and close.
Immediate head nodding. Tight groove...original voice.
Want more
Brighton!! omg I hope I see you in Brighton one day!
Simply stated, the album is brilliant
Omar is the truth. Doesn't get enough shine here in the states but he's still that dude. Real soul music!!!
i feel like this song it was made for me
PK COOPIE Same here!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! What an uplifting song, just what the world needs today 🙂
Love that his partner and kids are in the video - very nice vibes.
And thanks for using Radar for video commissioning, much appreciated. Nice track :)
Can image Talib Kweli or Common collaborating with Omar . NEO SOUL LIVES ON THRU THIS DUDE!
This track really reminds me of the mid 90's Acid Jazz stuff like 'Outside'... I can't stop playing it... Proper Summer tune. Well done Omar!
If not for my love of Acid Jazz way back when, I might never have discovered one of the most unique, true artists I've ever heard. My introduction to Omar was "Painful Truths" (with Max Beesley, Jr's High Vibes). That led me to get "For Pleasure" in '97, eventually followed by everything in his catalogue I could find, right up to "Love and Beats." I've seen him perform in New York three times, and my youngest sister interviewed him before he released "The Man" in 2013. That album got me through a long, lonely deployment in Kuwait that summer.
i love how it changes from black and white to color in the chorus, reflecting the song's spirit, like the chorus sounds happier
Copped this album as soon as it came out.This new generation don't even have a clue what real natural talent is!
Okay I'm so very late to the party, but I too have found love in this tune. Just loving the way you effortlessly ride that major to minor funky vibe. This discovery is like walking in sunshine for real. Love ya Omar!
❤🎶
Omar has gotta be the smoothest artiste around. Just cool.
damn i needed this today. Omars music is crazy
I can't stop listening to this. hope there will be some remixes.
UK REPRESENT,DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!

You got a tough CATALOG man. Respect..... Forrenl cant stop listening fam
Whose aloe black??
Undisputed King of Soul.
OMAR!!!! REAL MUSIC! REAL SOUL!!
Literally last week whilst playing "Nothing like this" I was thinking what the hell happened to this man and why did he fall off so badly. I'm floored by how wrong I was, this song and album is magnificent.
How did he "fall off so badly"? A long time did pass between "Sing (If You Want It)" and "The Man," but for me it was well worth the wait. I'm sure he must have done some lesser known work in the meantime. Plus, he changed labels during that span.
TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Très bon artiste, très belle femme
This should be picked up by the major labels. The world needs Omar.
This man is too real for the major labels. It's their loss.
The music of Omar feels like coming home. Thanks!
This mans music is surreal!
Whattttttttt, this song is so underrated
he really got the rhythm^.^
Yep 'The Man' does it again.. Got my album last week,.. non stop all day everyday since then- cant lie.. And the beat goes on... He is a true Don!!
First heard this on the radio and absolutely loved it. Found it here and video is filmed in Hove, 5 minutes from my old house!... Living on other side of the world right now and this has made me feel nostalgic for home. Amazing song, thanks for making it and sharing.
☺
Omar is the MAIN-MAIN, MAIN-MAIN, MAIN MAN!!!! WHAT!!!! BOOM!!!! The DUDE is LETHAL!!!
THIS IS IT! NEW SUMMER JAM I NEED...
AWAITING THE PURCHASE
Still bumpin in 2019! love this ish....the whole album was soooo good!!!!
aaaaaaamaaaaazing
i love this cut...and the man
MASTER PIECE
too Dope!!!! Sang it Omar!
I found love I can feel it's like walking in sunshine
That bass and the string arrangement is doing so many good things to me, let alone the rest of the woodwinds, very subtle/limited brass, chimes, guitar, keys, and his immaculate vocal arrangement and harmonies...smdh I gotta come strong with my next set of releases...and someone tell me, please...WHO MIXED THIS TRACK? GOD?? Damn!!
damn, this has got to be my fav track of the year so far!!
Woooooow!!! Omar still Bangin it out Wonderfully!!! Nice!!!
Amazing. Look forward to the new album.
My gosh, If i had to choose between a Madlib/Omar collaboration and world peace......
Can image Talib Kweli or Common collaborating with Omar on SOMETHING Like This...
Common actually did (with other rappers) some years back on the some 'Gimme Some'.
Common did collab with Omar on the Electric Circus Album, which is Commons forgotten albums...
Or the original The Roots band.
