Over the last 15 years, Omar Perry has made a first name for himself, his last name having been in the pantheon of Jamaican music
for more than a generation already. Living in Brussels since 2000, he
is subjected to a wide range of musical sounds, which enables him to
drop his lethal lyrics on Roots Reggae but also on sounds bordering on dubstep and hip hop.
“Be Cool”, his 4th album, reflects his versatility and fuses Jamaican and Western sounds. Sly & Robbie and TABOU1 submitted Omar 30-odd instrumentals. Omar picked those that spoke to him and recorded 10-12 demos. Out of those, 7 were selected.
The strength and urgency of Omar’s flows required contemporary sounds, heavy and tough, akin to what’s going on in Rap music, but with a Reggae-Dancehall attitude.
Jay ‘Double Tiger’ Spaker was the immediate choice to carry out this mission. Jay is part of the Brooklyn-based Dub-Stuy crew that is at the vanguard of the new Dub scene
that is emerging in the US. Dub-Stuy is far more melodic, yet as heavy
and hypnotic, than other actors of today’s Dub scene. They recently
killed it at the Paris Telerama Dub Festival.
Following Jay’s de/re-construction of Sly & Robbie’s riddims, Robbie Shakespeare laid brand new bass lines
to add further heft and fit Omar’s songs more closely as it is always
better to produce unique instrumentals that fit and artist’s songs,
where the riddim and the vocals are unified as one living organism.
Once the beats were finalized and tailored to Omar’s songs, Omar recorded his final vocals. The legendary Glen Ricks then added harmonies
at Bravo’s SmallWorld studio in Kingston. Glen’s voice completes the
picture with a touch of soul and provides warms and musical depth to “Be
Cool”.
Finally, sound wiz Bruno Sourice at Directtone Studio mastered the record. Sly Dunbar has been so blown away by Bruno’s work that he now sends all his productions to him.
