Omar x Caron Wheeler - "Treat You" + 'The Man' LP Snippets

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Omar is hitting hard with a bunch of new goodies from his forthcoming LP The Man, dropping on June 25th. First out the gate, he follows his last few singles with a very special delivery as he and Caron Wheeler deliver on a long overdue collaboration with "Treat You" - a track that is indeed a monumental treat for fans of both artists, but especially devotees of Caron Wheeler who have been pining for her return since she rose to fame with Soul II Soul during the early 90s. Her voice remains a pillar of the era and a point of nostalgia for people across genres. Adding Omar to that mix sends this joint over the top as they trade off on vocals backed by his signature production. Hopefully "Treat You" is the first of many tracks to come from the pair. Rounding things out, Freestyle Records offers the first comprehensive taste of Omar's forthcoming LP with a set of snippets that will remind the world, if nothing else, precisely why Omar is a legend. Take a listen to "Treat You" and Omar's album preview below. Pre-order Omar's forthcoming LP The Man via iTunes.
