{"product_id":"omar-rex-rex-omar","title":"Omar, Rex - Rex Omar |--","description":"\u003cp\u003eModern highlife luminary Rex Omar has been a force within the Ghanaian music scene for over 30 years. Now Soundway presents five of his premier cuts remastered for a new self-titled EP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver his career Rex Omar has evolved the genre, pushing boundaries and dazzling listeners. A definitive piece of his repertoire comes via his Dangerous album: while it was self-produced and recorded in London circa 1997, upon CD release it saw success mainly within his homeland of Ghana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn irresistible blend of street-soul-come-highlife, with elements of bouncing 90s RnB\/hip-hop, it was developed with help from Ibibio Sound Machine’s Kari Bannerman and prolific Jamaican producer Bill Campbell. From this album rising London producer and DJ Aroop Roy revisits the four-to-the-floor excursion ‘Dada’, repurposing for today’s dancefloor with the addition of fizzing synth chords and stabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Omar regularly raps on his earlier works, on ‘Kele Ngele’ (taken from his 2004 album Ajala) we hear a yearning melodic vocal over a more relaxed RnB beat. This rounds out the new Rex Omar EP for the discerning listener to experience the full breadth of his inventive output.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omar, Rex","offers":[{"title":"- WORLD *NEW*","offer_id":54597712085329,"sku":"RB0C1Q-VANY-C4","price":27.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/9297\/8001\/files\/world-new_SG1z1.jpg?v=1786951358","url":"https:\/\/ilovevinylrecords.com\/products\/omar-rex-rex-omar","provider":"I Love Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
