"That's some sweet sweet music you got!
Makes me want to dance!"

"Each of the songs on Vel's CD is so great, but there is one particular song that is incredible. I have become addicted to "If I Should Get to Heaven." It is "perfection", and I would feel guilty if I didn't tell you about it. Ladies, if you don't have Vel's CD, you should get it, even if just for this song. I know you will play it over and over. I'm sure you all know that you can purchase the CD on Vel's website."
Frances Waller(A Sam Cooke Fan)

If I Should Get To Heaven...makes you think and it sounds great.
author: DreamgurlThis is one good...ok...great CD with a mixture of songs and lyrics that will take you into many emotions. With the sound and quality of Vel's soulful voice mixed in, it's a homerun for those who just want to listen to a breath of fresh air. I found that Vel's site has clips of other songs which you'll find a rare treat as well. Love your VOICE!!!

It is refreshing to come across an R&B voice that is seasoned, strong and solid.
author: Barney Quick, Indie-Music.comMuch of modern R&B is sung in whispers,falsettos and throaty murmurs.It is refreshing to come across an R&B voice that is seasoned, strong and solid. Vel Omarr has such a voice. His premiere CD, Rhythms and the Blues, presents a robust range of approaches to modern R&B. His song, You're All That,features a loping bass line tightened by a sustained synth-string fill and guess what? Sam Cooke influenced vocals. That's Alright With Me is a romantic and manly ballad in the Old-School, slow-dance/piano triplet sense. Morality is an incredibly soulful take on traditional reggae the background vocals punctuate the chorus at just the right times, and the lyrics are refreshing straight talk on the state of modern society. There is a lot of discussion on R&B Websites about the lack of good old passion and groove in today's artists. These critics might do well to explore some of the indie sources of music they care about. There are delightful surprises like Vel Omarr out there, making the kind of magic that made us R&B devotees in the first place.
