“Mellifluous R&B, an emotive, textured piece of songwriting that presents Mar as an individual talent.” - Clash

“Sweet, impressive vocals” - Complex

“Captivating” - Notion

Formally known as ‘Mar’, now going by ‘Mar Omin’, the Amsterdam-based solo artist has had an illustrious career to date. Having toured Europe and built a feverish fanbase, Mar continues to stride forward with acclaim from the likes of Complex, i-D, C-heads, Gigwise,  Notion, Acid Stag, Earmilk, Majestic Casual, Vice and BBC Radio 1xtra, Mar has built a feverish fanbase with a growing anticipation for new material.

The forthcoming album Extricate is about Mar Omin’s discovery of how trapped he had been in negative self belief, toxic relationships and freeing himself from them. Thematically, the album is described as  “to free (someone or something) from a constraint or difficulty.”

Mar Omin produced, composed, and wrote the album with help from guitarist Daniel Malet, singer Szjerdene (Bonobo / Lapalux), and cello and strings by Sander Molder (Red Bull Music Academy alumni). Mar set out to make an album of 10 songs that reflect his mental health journey over the past three years. In 2018, he began writing in a daily journal and discovered many things about his beliefs of the world, his relationships with himself and with others, and how he has accepted them as truth. It was a challenging year for him, but in hindsight one of his favourite years. He realised he had been, and still is, insecure about his capabilities as a human being, and therefore as an artist. He used his daily journals as inspiration for the themes, lyrics, and emotional soundscapes. He wanted to go emotionally deeper on, Extricate. He has released several smaller projects such as EP's and singles before; creating an album was a new challenge for him. With this forthcoming album, he shows the world that he created a solid body of work that he can tour with.

Extricate

The first step of sharing my journey with you begins with a remake of Adele’s “Easy On Me”.

When I heard the song it resonated with me being younger and feeling like I didn’t have a voice, often following those who spoke the loudest.

Over the last few years my voice has grown stronger. Not only as a vocalist, but as a composer and producer. 

Through this remake my voice, in all forms, found a home.

'Little Bird' is available via https://maromin.com/music/little-bird 

Mar Omin Returns with the dark, reflective, and melancholic new single ‘Little Bird’ and announces his debut album, 'Extricate'. A beguiling, moving track displaying the striking emotional depth and musical complexity that Omin can summon, ‘Little Bird’ gives an exciting look at what to expect across the upcoming full project. 

“ ‘Little Bird’ is about the interaction I experience between me and my negative self-belief, personified. How the negativity wants to keep me insecure and feeling low and feeds off that energy. The vocals in the verses and the bridge represent me, the pre-hooks and hooks are the voice of the negative me.”

When I'm Gone

I wrote this song after my father died in 2015. He showed me unconditional love and how to communicate feelings through music. He was my friend and I am forever grateful for him.

'No Goodbye' is a song about loss, love, and longing for someone you deeply love to return once more.

Ode To Her

A Simple Go

Mar's third and last single before the "When We Meet" EP releases this November. “I Could Care Less”. An ode to the grungier musical back streets where soul meets funk and rock. The diverse nature of this record puts Mar in a musical lane clearly paved for him alone.

Majesty of Mystery

Rising vocalist Mar returns with a new addition to his ever growing selection of musical gems. Following the success of his critically acclaimed EP ‘When We Meet’, Mar teams up with London dance music duo iLL BLU, for what is set to be a hot contender for 'top tracks of Summer 2016!’

Yet again, Mar shows off his vocal versatility, whether in the seductive setting of an R&B landscape or crooning the topline of a dance floor filler. ‘What’s Up’ flirts with themes from the infamous track by Donnell Jones ‘U Know What’s Up’ giving it a refreshing twist for the modern day raver.

“‘Things Will Be’ is a soundtrack to experience when one is alone. Soothing and rich, like a glass of red wine, Mar exudes an effortlessly magical sense of being. Press play and find your peace.” - C Heads Magazine

Anthony Valadez - Under Water feat Mar & The Park

Family Interlude is a 3-minute musical composition exploring the meaning of familial connections and highlights the importance of establishing and maintaining these connections. The song, by name and format, is an interlude and break away from the ongoing discord in our world today. This release comes at a time when we can collectively benefit from understanding and patience with each other, as though we are all part of one family. With ”Family Interlude" we aim to create an opportunity to reflect, recalibrate and refocus on what truly matters.

Family Interlude

Hailing from Amsterdam, raised on a houseboat, surrounded by live music from a young age, tone and rhythm flow through the artist’s blood. 

Reaching soul deep, communicating fragility and vulnerability, channeled through love and honesty, Mar Omin is a true timeless vocalist and poet.
