P029: Cabeza de Vaca – Omar S.


Detroit legend Alez “Omar” Smith or Omar S gets a going over this week on Cabeza de Vaca show and Scanner FM. In particular, we highlight his fourth album “Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself”, released in March this year. The title is a decent follow up to 2011s “It can be done, but only I can do it”, suggesting a bit of ego behind the man. However, Omar S does say in a recent interview for Juno

 

“I name it that because all my fans kept telling me to be yourself, keep doing what you do. Thanks Homie’s and Tender Roni’s. This is why I did this Album, for my fans.”

 

The real gift to the fans is the music, however, which once again stands tall, athough perhaps not quite as exciting as “It can be done…”. There is a little bit more restraint this time around, the only exceptions being the slightly misogynistic samples from “the street” between a couple of the tracks and the second track (really the first after a small intro) which features the contribution of Luke Hess as well.


 

 
Luke Hess of course recently released a new album on FXHE, which is the label run by Omar S and who also helps out with some remixes.


 


Perhaps the only thing left to do is work a bit more on the cover art! But full respects with such a sustained level of quality over the years.
