Parents, bosses, teachers, school advisers… – for a time when you’re supposed to be figuring out who you are, the late teenage years sure involve a lot of people telling you what to do. Seventeen-year-old singer-songwriter Cris Cab, for one, is having none of it. On his latest promo single and first Booth feature, the Miami-based up-and-comer resolves to be the captain of his own destiny. ”No one’s gonna tell me how to live My Life.” Over his and PJ‘s production, a synth-infused reggae groove as breezily laid-back as a poolside siesta (umbrella drink optional), the singer details his five-year (and beyond) plan: party all night, hang with beautiful women, block out the haters, lather, rinse, repeat. A life of leisure might not be within everyone’s grasp, but if Cris continues turning out singles this pop-appealing, he just might be able to make it work. Enough from me, though – do you think this island-pop Epicure has the skills to pay the bills? Then keep it locked; this joint isn’t attached to any forthcoming project, but rest assured that you’ll be the first to know if and when that changes.

Like everything about this. It's refreshing to hear something different. The production is on point, and Cris's vocals are the perfect fit for the Caribbean production.

The Caribbean-influence can either come across as authentic or fake. There is really in in-between sound. Cris, luckily, comes across as rather authentic. That is what you get for living in Miami. Catchy chorus, simply ear pleasing melody, live instrumentation...

I like the sound it's kinda catchy. But the topic of the song is so far away from me

Feels like it's missing that nebulous extra element that really hooks you in, maybe if the vocals had a little more passion, but for a young artist just starting out, pretty damn impressive.

I always seem to miss these jams on the first round. But I am listening now so here is goes: I like it. The caribbean influenced beat mixed with the synthy pop theme is working in Cab's favor. Oh, Chris is very talented. Bruno watch out lol...
