There's Nothing Like This - Composition

music.wikisort.org - Composition

There's Nothing Like This is the first album by the British neo soul singer Omar. It includes his biggest hit, "There's Nothing Like This", which reached number 14 in the UK Singles Chart in 1991.[2] It also peaked at number 8 in the Music Week Dance Singles Chart.[3] On the release of the song, Alan Jones from Music Week commented, "Expensively acquired from the indie Kongo Dance label, Omar's slow, sinewy sleeper from last year is a surefire smash. The young Londoner has been attracting massive audiences at live shows. If he can go on delivering material like this intimately and excellently vocalised swayer he will soon repay Talkin Loud's investment. Top 10 material."[4]
