Omar Akram - Daytime Dreamer (2013)

"Daytime Dreamer" is the fifth album from Omar Akram. After celebrating his 2012 Grammy-winning "Echoes Of Love", Omar softens the mood to serenade us with the romantic melodies of "Daytime Dreamer". Performing on piano, keyboards and synthesizers, Omar is joined by an impressive roster of supporting musicians that includes David Arana, Pedro Eustache, Ramon Stagnaro, Charlie Bisharat, and Gregg Karukas. As the title implies, this music is warm and dreamy, sometimes gently flowing and sometimes a bit more upbeat and lively. Six of the eleven tracks are new, and five appeared on Omar's first two albums, "Opal Fire" (2002) and "Free As a Bird" (2004). The familiar splashes of Omar's signature world textures (oud, duduk, violin and guitar) weave back and forth in a sublime dance with his exquisite piano compositions. Daytime dreaming is usually a relaxing and healthy hobby. Daytime Dreamer is also the name of Omar Akram’s new album, released by Real Music. The follow-up to last year’s Grammy winning album is a masterful fusion of sound, proving once more that Omar Akram is THE name to follow in New Age music today. At first listen it might seem like an album for contemplation and, yes, daytime dreaming. But hidden within each track are intertwining melodies and a remarkable international approach to New Age music. His use of instruments from the Middle East are a very welcome addition. Omar’s firm grip on harmonies, synth and piano arrangements are just as impressive. The gentle, bright piano and synth, violin and Middle Eastern guitar, create a mix that is as refined as it is beautiful. Daytime Dreamer is without a doubt one of this year’s best album! It is complete in every way. Deep down I guess we all are daytime dreamers. Omar Akram has given us a soundtrack to those dreams!!! ------- Highly Recommended!!! ----- Enjoy!!! ----- Здесь вы можете слушать онлайн Omar Akram, mp3 бесплатно и без регистрации.
