Khalia and Queen Omega have linked up for “Majestic,” bringing two distinct Caribbean reggae voices together on a song centered on confidence, strength and womanhood.
Released September 4 through Ineffable Records, the 3:33 single was produced by longtime Khalia collaborator Tony “CD” Kelly. Khalia Smith and Queen Omega, born Jeneile Osborne, are both credited as writers.
“Majestic” plays directly to the strengths of the pairing. Khalia brings the melodic, contemporary reggae approach she has developed over the past several years, while Queen Omega contributes the forceful singing and deejay delivery that has been central to her music since the beginning of her career.
For Khalia, the collaboration is also another chapter in a relationship with Tony Kelly that stretches back nearly a decade.
Born in Westmoreland, Jamaica, Khalia moved to London with her mother when she was six. She returned to Jamaica as an adult to pursue music and met Shaggy in 2016. After hearing her material, Shaggy introduced her to Kelly, who made Khalia the first artist signed to his K-Licious Music label.
Kelly has his own long history inside Jamaican music. He worked at Tuff Gong early in his career before becoming one of dancehall’s prominent producers and engineers, with credits connected to artists including Shaggy, Sean Paul, Beenie Man, Buju Banton and Wayne Wonder. His production and writing work has appeared on Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated projects, and his relationship with Khalia has been central to the development of her reggae sound.
That partnership helped shape Khalia’s 2023 debut EP Stay True. The seven-song release paired her with Shaggy, Tanya Stephens, Mortimer and Blvk H3ro and gave Khalia room to move between reggae, dancehall, R&B and lovers-rock influences. Khalia has described reggae as her musical home even as she draws on the wider mix of sounds she heard growing up in London.
Queen Omega arrives on “Majestic” with a much longer roots-reggae history behind her. Raised in San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago, she began performing calypso in talent competitions as a child and later sang backing vocals for soca artists before moving toward reggae. Her early recordings led to a self-titled debut in the early 2000s and albums including Away From Babylon, which helped establish her as one of the most distinctive female voices in modern roots reggae.
Her Trinidadian background has always given her music a slightly different foundation from many of her Jamaican contemporaries. Calypso, soca, dancehall and roots reggae all sit somewhere in her musical history, while Rastafarian themes and social commentary have remained central to her writing.
Queen Omega has also experienced another surge of attention in recent years through records including “No Love,” “No Love Dubplate” and Freedom Legacy. In 2026 alone, she has appeared on music with Anthony B, Gentleman, Samora and Future Irie before joining Khalia for “Majestic.”
“Majestic” is out now through Ineffable Records.
