THE STORY
Welcome to Paradise is Naomi Cowan's debut album; a twelve-track collaboration with British producer Toddla T, released October 10, 2025 on 7th C Records / Easy Star Records. The album went on to win the 2026 JUNO Award for Reggae Recording of the Year.
It moves through ska, roots, R&B and modern island pop without settling into one lane: it opens on the horn-driven 'Beautiful Ska,' makes room for guests Johnny Osbourne ('Version') and Runkus ('Lonely Love'), threads short interludes between the full songs, and closes on the ballad 'Imagine.' Toddla T's production is clean and playful, giving Cowan's writing room to breathe while keeping the low end firmly in reggae.
