Omar's Hat - On Our Way by Shermons

The debut single from Omar's Hat http://www.omars-hat.com/ “On Our Way” combines the sweet falsetto of Yesseh Furaha-Ali and soulful voice of Kayla Childs with the kind of modern thump that will please the palate of many groove-loving head-nodders. Lush strings compliment horn acrobatics throughout, and soulful vocals float atop thick, funky drum rhythms. From the first strike of the guitar riff, this song catches the ear and delivers a thoughtful, well-constructed & hard-hitting dish of soul. For a band of young guns, it’s clear that they’ve done their homework; tastes of Mayfield, D’angelo, The Roots, and the El Michaels Affair are artfully mixed into a sound that gracefully anchors these influences into Omar’s Hat’s own, Philly-raised musical persona. Take a listen and enjoy the ride!
