Known previously as SPZRKT, singer, songwriter, and producer Xavier Adams has also recorded mellow contemporary R&B as
Xavier Omär. Following a string of collaborations, his first solo EP under the moniker,
The Everlasting Wave, appeared in 2016. His full-length debut,
If You Feel, was released in 2020.
The San Antonio, Texas native, who counts his church upbringing and the likes of
John Legend and
Frank Ocean among his inspirations, was crediting himself on collaborations as
Xavier Omär as early as 2013. Activity really picked up in 2016, a year in which the name was associated with tracks by
Asaiah Ziv ("Here"), Swade ("Alumni"),
Masego ("Wifeable"),
Noname ("All I Need"), Avalon Young ("Dealin'"), and
Mick Jenkins ("Angles"). Additionally, Adams collaborated with
Sango on an EP, Hours Spent Loving You, and issued a meticulously crafted solo set of similar length,
The Everlasting Wave, that October. The following year saw the release of the EP Pink Lightning on Never Sleep Music.
Omär signed with RCA Records for his debut album,
If You Feel. Featuring guests including
Mereba, who joined him on the title track, it saw release in October 2020. ~ Andy Kellman
