sMiLes, the eleventh album by Canadian-Haitian musician Jowee Omicil, stands out as a vibrant manifesto of freedom and authenticity. Fearless and boundless, the album celebrates self-expression, the beauty of imperfection, and the courage to trust the music. Through eleven tracks and a bonus track featuring multi-award-winning singer Dominique Fils-Aimé, Jowee unfolds a uniquely rich soundscape. The album navigates between the legacy of Abbey Lincoln and the resonances of Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, and Roy Hargrove, while asserting a deeply personal identity. Between Cap-Haïtien and 52nd Street in New York, between voodoo drums and cosmic vibrations, sMiLes illustrates the approach of an artist in constant search of innovation, faithful to his essence and his creative freedom. Also featuring Ludovic Louis, Mawuena Kodjovi, Malika Zarra, and Jonathan Jurion.
