Richard Cavé’s “I’m Ok” Album Preview (Thanksgiving Release & Bentley’s Brooklyn Night)

By Haitianbeatz

If you love Kompa and modern Haitian love songs, Thanksgiving Day is about to feel different this year. Richard Cavé and his band Kaï are getting ready to drop a new album titled “I’m ok”, and it is set to arrive on the same night they hit the stage at Bentley’s in Brooklyn with Bedjine and Kadilak.

This project feels like a full emotional ride. The track list moves from pain and regret to acceptance and freedom, with songs like “Pa gaspiye’m,” “Fuck up,” “Se ou’ li ye,” “Toxic,” “Bloke,” and the title track “I’m ok.” Love, heartbreak, and healing all sit side by side.

Think of this as your warm-up. By the time the album drops and the Bentley’s show starts, you will already have a picture of the meaning, sound, and vibe behind these new songs.

Who Is Richard Cavé (Kaï) And Why This New Album Matters

Richard Cavé is one of the key voices in modern Haitian music. As the leader of Kaï, he mixes rich Kompa grooves with deep, emotional songwriting that speaks to both love and relationships.

A new album from him is never just “another release.” For many fans, it marks a new chapter in how Haitian love stories are told in music, from  Brooklyn, Montreal, and beyond.

From Carimi To Kaï: A Quick Look At Richard Cavé’s Journey

Before Kaï, Richard Cavé helped carry Carimi, one of the most loved Kompa bands of the 2000s and early 2010s. Carimi brought fresh energy, strong melodies, and lyrics that spoke to real life, not just party talk.

When Carimi ended, Richard did not step back. He started Kaï, a band with a more personal and romantic style. The songs became even more focused on feelings, old scars, and the kind of love stories people talk about late at night.

Over the years, Kaï built a name as a group you listen to when your heart is full, or when it is broken and you still want to dance.

Fans of Kaï are loyal. They sing every word, argue over their favorite tracks, and wait a long time for new projects. So when news of an album like “I’m ok” comes out, people pay attention.

Just the titles alone tell a story. You can almost see a path:

• “Fuck up” and “Toxic” hint at mistakes, anger, and wild arguments.

• “Pa gaspiye’m” and “Se ou’ li ye” sound like deep love and fear of losing it.

• “Bloke” feels like being shut out.

• “I’m ok” points to that moment when you say, “I’m hurt, but I’m still here.”

Fans are expecting a project that captures that whole cycle, from the first spark of love to the moment you choose yourself.

Thanksgiving Album Release And Brooklyn Show At Bentley’s The Same Day

Dropping an album on Thanksgiving is not a random move. Thanksgiving is about family, food, and thanking God for life, even when the year was rough.

On top of the album release, Kaï is set to perform live at Bentley’s in Brooklyn the same night, with Bedjine and Kadilak joining the bill.

Inside The Bentley’s Brooklyn Concert With Bedjine And Kadilak

Bentley’s is known for big Haitian nights, tight crowds, and Kompa playlists that do not let people sit down. With Kaï on stage, plus Bedjine and Kadilak, this show already feels like a mini festival.

• Bedjine is a rising Haitian singer with a sweet yet strong voice, known for emotional tracks that touch on romance and personal struggle.

• Kadilak brings a more urban, street flavor, with songs that link daily hustle, love, and party energy.

Put them together with Kaï and you get a full mix of styles: soft love songs, hard truths, and dance tracks that shake the room.

If you are in Brooklyn, this is the kind of night you remember for years.

At Bentley’s, you can already picture the crowd yelling “I’m ok” at the top of their lungs, turning private pain into a shared release.

“I’m ok” arrives on Thanksgiving Day, just as Kaï steps onto the Bentley’s stage with Bedjine and Kadilak. It feels like the perfect setup: a holiday for gratitude, a new album about healing, and a live show where fans can sing through their pain and joy together.
