Cab’Ral’s “Time Of Our Lives” Ignites a Joyful Rebellion Against Chaos

Canadian-based artist Cab’Ral’s typical “Time Of Our Lives” was also a riotous anthem for the moment, an effervescent declaration that joy is not only possible during chaotic times — it is essential. A blend of indie-pop and pop rap that sounds as much at home cranking through the speakers of a houseparty as on the back of a summer holiday playlist, the Jamaican-Portuguese artist crafts a song that floats like those summer nights that don’t seem to end, where the world’s worries ebb away under neon lights in good company.

The lyrics, “World’s on fire, but we’re dancing tonight,” sums up the idea of living in the moment — a victory of sorts over the harshness of reality in this defiant celebration. The production reflects this sentiment, a spry instrumental layered with vocals that find a strange balance—somehow simultaneously upbeat and undeniably relaxed. It’s a sound that recalls the carefree cool of Kid Cudi and the groove-first optimism of earlier Calvin Harris, but which also bears its own touch that makes it distinctly Cab’Ral.

Lyrically, the song makes an impact through its simplicity, threading in themes of resilience and self-determination around a hook that’s instantly catchy. Lines like “I wanna catch a star tonight” and “The world has its break downs, but we still dance to the beat” are further affirmations of the song’s ethos — recognizing pain but refusing to allow it to define the experience.

With the release of “Time Of Our Lives”, Cab’Ral continues to prove that his journey is uniquely of his own, and with 20M streams to date, this record is all the more reason why his momentum is hardly slowing any time soon.
