Omar Perry was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1968, the son of legendary producer and songwriter Lee "Scratch" Perry. That lineage runs deep in every bar he lays down, and his latest release makes it clear the fire hasn't dimmed. Reggaeville posted the lyric video for "Time Will Heal," credited as Living Tree x Omar Perry, on March 21, 2026.

The collaboration bridges continents in a way that feels very much of this moment in roots music. Living Tree is described in project materials as a collaborative project connecting artists from different countries, including Poland's Zuzanna Kulka. Pairing that cross-national collective with a Kingston-born singer carrying the Perry name gives "Time Will Heal" a scope that goes well beyond a standard feature credit.

Perry has released seven studio albums between 2007 and 2022, and his output over the past year shows no signs of slowing. Recent Reggaeville entries include "Omar Perry & Conquering Sound - Ganja Anthem" in November 2025 and a Christmas appearance on the ERM All Stars Vinyl Vibes series in December 2025. Before that, he logged three separate entries from a run of Bochum, Germany dates in early November, including a set alongside Eek-A-Mouse and a session with K Jah Sound. The "Time Will Heal" lyric video sits at the top of that timeline as his first major visual drop of 2026.

Perry grew up recording on his father's productions at age six and came of age watching Max Romeo, Junior Murvin, and Bob Marley work through the Black Ark studio. That background informs the conscious current running through "Time Will Heal," a track whose title alone signals the kind of uplift and healing-centred message the roots camp knows well.

Perry had been on the road as recently as February 2026, taking the Lee "Scratch" Perry and Black Ark Memorial Tour through the UK with Easy Riddim Maker. That run included stops in Colchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Birkenhead, Manchester, Birmingham, and Cardiff. The Living Tree collaboration appears to have been developing alongside that tour activity, landing on Reggaeville just weeks after those UK dates wrapped.

Social promotion for the lyric video has spread across platforms, with an X post tagging it as the "Official Lyric Video 2026" and linking to Reggaeville's YouTube channel. A Facebook post circulating the video also cross-promotes the Jah Rain Reggae Fusion Album "Magic Rises," suggesting a wider network of conscious roots artists moving in the same promotional orbit.

For Perry, "Time Will Heal" continues a prolific stretch that has seen him work with Conquering Sound, Littlerock Sound, and ERM All Stars across a tight twelve-month window. For Living Tree and Zuzanna Kulka, landing a collaboration with a singer of Perry's pedigree puts the project firmly on the radar of the international roots community.
