Omar Musa’s (CRF 2018) new full length album The Fullness came out last week on all streaming platforms. Listen here.
Reflecting on the origins and inspirations of The Fullness, Omar said:
“I didn’t plan on making this. A few years ago, I half-made a bunch of songs, just for fun, from a place of joy and rejuvenation when I got sober and clean. But when my best friend B died last year, I needed something to focus on while grieving and living in a new city; I wanted to make something beautiful to honour him. So I decided to explore and expand them into an album — made in joy, polished with grief.
The Fullness is inspired by 1,000 year old Bornean trees, the Queanbeyan River, the recovery of reefs, the recovery of hearts, the Brooklyn train line, my grandma’s poems, the resilience of Gazans, Friday prayers at NYU, Muay Thai, addiction, friendship, grief, love, love and LOVE.”
