Jowee Omicil - Smiles (LP)

Canadian-Haitian multi-instrumentalist Jowee BasH! Omicil delivers his 11th studio album, Smiles, a fearless and ambitious work that blends electronic and jazz into something truly cinematic. Released on Bash! Village Records, this record has drawn comparisons to the high-concept collages of artists like Kendrick Lamar and Jon Batiste, while critics at Jazz Times describe it as "a jiggling, otherworldly soundscape of organically tactile acoustic jazz, FX-affected sampladelica, skronky R&B, tribal grooves, and blowsy wine-bar blues."

Smiles is a bold manifesto of freedom and authenticity, celebrating self-expression and the beauty of imperfection across its 11 tracks. Omicil deploys an impressive arsenal of instruments — alto, tenor, and soprano saxophones, pocket trumpet, Fender Rhodes, piano, and human voices — to craft an atmosphere that both entertains and deeply nourishes the listener. Praised by outlets including France Inter, FIP, and Rolling Stone, this is a record that rewards close listening and stands as one of the most compelling jazz releases of 2026.
