Omar - Brighter The Days - The Remixes

Impressive Collective and BBE Music present Brighter The Days – The Remixes, a new collection built around Omar’s epic 9th studio album.

The past year has seen Omar on particularly strong form, including two sold-out US tours, standout appearances on NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk’ , BBC TV’s ‘Later with Jools Holland’ and Channel 4’s ‘Sunday Brunch’ , whilst his guest appearances with various social media stars including DJ AG Online and collaboration with Donae’O on the viral hit ‘Nights Like This’ resulting in a growing younger audience.

This collection draws together extraordinary reinterpretations from the Brighter The Days album, from a dream ticket of legendary and forward-thinking producers; namely Kenny Dope, Joe Claussell, DJ Spinna, Illa J and Super D & Maestro. Of Kenny Dope’s remix of “Lovey Dovey” (with Raheem DeVaughn and Eric Roberson), Omar says that “you can definitely see people locking and popping to that one!” , while he describes Joe Claussell’s two versions of “There’s Much Love In The World” as “simply epic” .

Alongside Illa J’s rework of “Love Is Like” featuring India Arie and Super D & Maestro’s remix of “I’ve Been Waiting” , the collection is a landmark extension of Omar’s magnum opus long player.
