Xavier Omär has teamed up with Alex Isley for a new seasonal single, “Peppermint Tea,” and it’s soothing and sweet.
On the cozy track, Omär continues to push his romantic sound, inviting us in with his comforting vocal depth that could kindle the soul.
“It’s that time of year / I can’t complain / Long as you’re here, baby / Drink peppermint tea / And lay right here next to me / Darling my dear,” Omär sings.
Bringing in Isley, a potent contributor, Omär can pull back into the shadows and lets her shine about rosy parts of the holiday with a loved one.

“Peppermint Tea” is Omär’s first release in a lead role since releasing his most recent EP, b l u r r, released on July 22. The six-track release included the previously shared “Feelings 4 You” and “Tarantino.”
In an interview with Rated R&B, Omär shared how he wanted listeners to connect with the material.
“If any of these things are a moment in your life or it’s something that you can relate to, I just hope you connect to that. Even if it’s just one song, connect to that song and let it be something that helps you,” he says.
Omär recently collaborated with rising hip-hop act Aaron Cole for “Busy.” Before that, he joined buzzing singer Byron Juane for “Beautiful,” a song taken from Juane’s latest effort, A Little Crazy.
