Reggae artiste Olaide Banks delves into some deep-seated challenges faced by families in the Caribbean in his latest track, 'My Home.

Officially released on January 17, the reggae song touches on themes of disillusionment, economic struggles, and the mistrust of political leadership.

" My Home is inspired by real-life conversations and experiences," said Banks. "It's a deeply personal and universal story, one that I hope resonates with listeners and reminds them that they are not alone."

Written by Banks and produced in collaboration with Dominik Gall for ReggaeBeats Production, 'My Home' features the masterful touch of legendary Jamaican engineer Steven Stanley, who mixed the track. Nikki Burt Bolt's stunning vocal harmonies add depth and warmth, creating a soundscape that is both rich and authentic.

"This song marks my first collaboration with Dominik Gall, whose riddim perfectly complements the message," Banks shared. "Steven Stanley has been my production partner from the start, and Nikki Burt Bolt's accompanying vocals brought a beautiful richness to the track."

Overall, the track has been performing exceptionally well, garnering lots of support. The illustrated music video premiered on YouTube and other platforms on January 17. The video weaves together powerful imagery of Caribbean life, showcasing both its struggles and its beauty, and highlighting the spirit of the people who make these places feel like home.

'My Home' is the second single from Bank's upcoming EP, '[R]Evolution'. The seven-track project explores themes of personal mindfulness and social justice, blending authentic reggae vibes with timely, meaningful messages.
