Omar Lye-Fook brought his signature love-song swagger to NPR’s Tiny Desk, surprising fans by kicking off with the tongue-in-cheek “This Is Not a Love Song” before cruising through classics like “There’s Nothing Like This.” Dressed to the nines and rocking his iconic high-top locs, he and his tight band transformed the intimate space into a soulful celebration.
Bursting onto the British neo-soul scene in 1990, Omar has spent 40 years collaborating with legends from Stevie Wonder to Erykah Badu. Produced by Bobby Carter and co., this stripped-down concert proves why Omar is still a global soul powerhouse.
