If you’re searching for your ultimate summer soundtrack, look no further. International recording star Omari Banks and cricket’s own charismatic showman, Chris Gayle (the one and only Universeboss), have teamed up for a feel-good reggae single that’s destined to dominate your playlists—‘Living It Up,’ now streaming everywhere.
What happens when you blend the soulful storytelling of Omari Banks with the larger-than-life energy of Chris Gayle? You get pure Caribbean magic—a perfect infusion of sunshine, rhythm, and celebration. ‘Living It Up’ pulses with an infectious beat and delivers uplifting lyrics that mirror the duo’s shared journey from cricket stardom to the music spotlight.
Omari Banks reveals, “The soul of this song is rooted in the vibrant party energy of the Caribbean. It’s inspired by my travels as a young cricketer and the joy of embracing every moment.” Known for his signature guitar and conscious roots reggae, Omari proves his versatility by letting loose for this sun-kissed banger, keeping it authentic while turning up the vibe.
This collaboration isn’t just about music—it’s about a lifelong camaraderie. Omari and Chris’s bond goes back to their cricketing youth, a connection that translates effortlessly into their artistry. Both bring their A-game, with Banks penning the catchy hook and his verses, while Chris Gayle—assisted by the talented Camar “Flava”—injects unmistakable charisma and fun into his lyrical contribution. Michael Fletcher’s co-arrangement and the executive vision of Ann and Gordon Woodward round out a track that’s all about unity, fun, and living in the moment.
As Gayle says, “Moving from the cricket pitch to the studio felt like a natural evolution. The spirit of the song captures how I’ve always lived—full of life, laughter, and the company of good friends.”
With a music video in the pipeline and more surprises on the way, ‘Living It Up’ isn’t just a single—it’s a movement. Whether you’re sunbathing on the beach, dancing at a backyard bash, or soaking in the city lights, this tune brings the whole Caribbean celebration to your speakers.
