Impressive Collective & BBE Music announce Brighter The Days - the 9th studio album by Omar - the world renowned UK soul star. This new album continues Omar's long-standing collaboration with Impressive Collective's Greg Boraman, which began in 2013 on Freestyle Records with the critically acclaimed 'The Man' album and continued with 'Love In Beats' and 'The Omar Anthology'. Omar Lyefook MBE, singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, solidifies his legendary status with his latest album, Brighter The Days. Over three decades, he has been a defining force in modern Black music, crafting a sound that seamlessly blends soul, funk, jazz, salsa, dub, and hip-hop, with roots in classical music. As he puts it, 'Each album is an evolution, if you will. But I'd like to think this is my magnum opus.' A dynamic collection, Brighter The Days builds upon Omar's distinctive style with fresh inspiration. His warm, unmistakable voice-tinged with the richness of his Caribbean heritage -is complemented by lush arrangements. Organic drums, bass, brass, keys, and guitars meet the mechanical edge of samples and beats, creating a soundscape that is both timeless and innovative. Sweeping strings, inspired by his early training in orchestral music, add grandeur. 'There's nothing quite like that feeling of hearing all those strings play together,' he says, explaining their recurring presence in his work. As always, Omar has gathered a stellar line up of collaborators. British legends like Paul Wel
