Singer-songwriter and musician Olaide Banks has released his latest track, titled My Home, dedicated to all Caribbean descendants in the diaspora.
Debuted on January 17, the reggae anthem delves into the challenges faced by families in the Caribbean and beyond, touching on themes of disillusionment, economic struggles, and the deep-seated mistrust of political leadership while celebrating the resilience and the unwavering strength listeners draw from the places we call home.
“My Home is inspired by real-life conversations and experiences. It’s a deeply personal and universal story, one that I hope resonates with listeners and reminds them that they are not alone,” Banks said.
Written by the artiste and produced in collaboration with Dominik Gall for ReggaeBeats Production, My Home features the masterful touch of Jamaican engineer Steven Stanley, who mixed the track to perfection. 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. Steven Stanley has been my production partner from the start, and Nikki Burt Bolt’s accompanying vocals brought a beautiful richness to the track,” he said.
The accompanying music 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 Banks’ upcoming EP, [R]Evolution, slated for release on May 30, 2025. The seven-track EP explores themes of personal mindfulness and social justice, blending authentic reggae vibes with timely, meaningful messages.
“This project represents both a revolutionary message and an evolution for me as an artiste,” he added.
