{"product_id":"rex-omar-rex-omar-vinyl","title":"Rex Omar (Vinyl)","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\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\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 Machines 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 todays dancefloor with the addition of fizzing synth chords and stabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003cp\u003eA1. Dada\r A2. Tokota\r A3. Konka\r B1. Osisi\r B2.
