The latter appurtenant as it echoes Omari’s lyrics “Half full or half empty, Everyday, we gotto live and count we blessings”.
Over the weekend, Omari premiered the video home in Anguilla with a live show accompanied by his band. The event took place at the famous Dune Preserve, home of Moonsplash, the Caribbean’s longest running independent festival.
Filmed in Anguilla, the recently released single delivered a colorful and vibrant video featuring the beautiful and talented FWD dancers.
