Hear Xavier Omar Light Up the Skies with 'Pink Lightning' | @XvrOmar #PinkLightning

Xavier Omär’s new EP, Pink Lightning, is five tracks of smooth, cold grooves. In a sense, 2017 was the year Xavier Omär emerged from the shadows. The artist formerly known as SPZRKT left behind the alphabet to adopt an actual name. In the process, the singer peeled back another layer of himself and exposed still more of the public to his awe-inspiring voice. “Afraid” and “No Way Out”  let fans…
