Eclesia
Naïka
ECLESIA is the debut full-length album from Naïka, the French-Haitian singer and global pop artist based in Los Angeles, released on February 20, 2026 via AWAL Recordings. The album's title — suggested by her father — derives from an ancient Greek word meaning "a gathering of people," a concept that speaks directly to Naïka's personal history and artistic philosophy. As she has explained, she wanted the album to represent "all the different sounds and influences that make up who I am," and the title's spirit of community is deliberately reflected in the music itself, which is laden with gang vocals and chants meant to evoke togetherness. Sung across English, French, and Haitian Creole, the thirteen-track, 36-minute album follows years of earlier EPs — including Lost in Paradise (2020/21) and TRANSITIONS (2022) — and marks her most fully realized statement yet.
FEMMUSIC described the album as blending "pop, R&B, and soul with global influences, including traditional Haitian Konpa rhythms, creating a sound that feels open, warm, and distinctly her own." Each track draws from a different facet of Naïka's multicultural identity — "One Track Mind" channels the Konpa rhythms of her Haitian roots, "Soleil" represents her French side, and tracks like "Matador," "Ritual," and "Bloom" weave in Afro, Latin, and Caribbean textures alongside more straightforward pop sensibilities. The Fader noted that Naïka is "poised for a jump to wider stardom" with the album, and it arrived alongside an international tour across Europe and North America — including nearly sold-out dates at London's KOKO and Los Angeles' The Novo — underscoring the growing global appetite for her genre-crossing, borders-dissolving sound.
