NAOMI COWAN FINDS HER CROWN ON STUNNING DEBUT WELCOME TO PARADISE
Naomi Cowan’s long-awaited debut album Welcome To Paradise arrives with a resonant, soulful pulse. Executive producer Toddla T, the UK hitmaker behind work with Sean Paul, Chronixx and Protoje, positions Cowan as a force in contemporary Jamaican music with the album.
The 12-track collection explores what it means to remain grounded in soft strength while navigating a world that often values status over substance. Cowan’s lyrics transform heartbreak into character arcs, tracing love, lust, and loss with honesty and warmth.
At its heart, Welcome To Paradise challenges society’s obsession with productivity and status. Instead, Cowan champions “soft strength” as the ultimate power. Through raw confessions and uplifting melodies, she reframes past heartbreaks as character arcs in her life’s narrative. Consequently, she emerges as both protagonist and director of her own story.
The album feels like that long-promised trip that finally escaped the group chat. Standout moments include the empowering Cherry On Top and the soul-stirring closer Imagine.

Through uplifting melodies and raw confessions, Naomi Cowan delivers an intimate, yet expansive portrait of resilience. The album is a reminder that true value comes from within, and that strength need not be loud to be real. Welcome To Paradise is a record to feel, reflect on and return to, again and again.
