The list of Omar’s achievements is a long and storied one. Cast even a glance at the highlights of a career well into its fourth decade – a ‘signature’ hit tune ‘There’s Nothing Like This’ that led on to eight solo albums of unique, evolving sound; collaborations with some of the biggest names in pop music history (Stevie Wonder, Lamont Dozier, Leon Ware, Erykah Badu & many more); a catalogue of side-projects more extensive than many artists’ entire working lifetimes; a one-man stage show; an MBE pinned to his chest by King Charles – and you could forgive the guy if at any time he showed signs of resting on those laurels. Far from it.
