OMAR WILSON was just recently nominated at the 50th Annual NAACP Image Awards as Outstanding New Artist and is readying to hit the road on a national tour in support of the "Living Legend" album.

It's A Man's World", maintaining the position for (3) consecutive weeks. Omar Wilson also made his Essence

On "Living Legend", soul-music aficionados are treated to a full-course experience filled with the classic and familiar sounds from yester-year, blended-in with some of today's hip-hop and R&B flow, sprinkled with love and passion, while wrapped-up in the soulty and raspiness of Omar's voice. "This project was a year in the making and I wanted to make certain that this album embodied organic truisms of music from the greats of yesterday, while keeping it real for the listeners of today. I wanted this album to showcase the remarkable vocal prowess that Omar is quite unique in delivering. Living Legend will stand the test of time," says Lou
Humphrey - CEO of BSE Recordings.
A few highlights on "Living Legend" includes the introductory song, "
Find A Way". A hard hitting soulful blues song where the movement is reminiscent of classics done by great artists like Aretha Franklin. It's a story about my up-bringing, watching my families struggle, inspired me to "
Find A Way" out of the struggle. The Song "96", is a Pop/R&B radio-friendly mid tempo song co-Written by R&B Legend Keith Sweat. "96" is about a man in a relationship asking his lady to go back in time to the beginning when the romance was brand new. Then of course there is the rendition of, the classic "
It's A Man's World", originally recorded by The God-Father of Soul,
James Brown, "I recorded this song with Al Green's original Hi Records Band in Memphis, TN at Royal Studios. It was a moving experience and a highlight in my career," adds Omar. "
The One", is a sultry and sensual song with a nostalgic feeling of
Marvin Gaye that also embodies various dance elements such as salsa and two-step. This album also includes my latest single "
Love Song", a mid-tempo R&B Groove dedication that confesses the greatest love a man could have for a woman.
