Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. Produced by Inflo, who worked with Danger Mouse on Michael Kiwankua's last album Kiwanuka, he gives the record a similar nostalgic sophistication and soul. Cleo quickly became the singer in the family, jostling for attention amongst seven other siblings, she received a secondhand karaoke player from her mum which gave her a platform to display her early talents to her musical family.Everything is cast in warm, rich tones, from the acoustic lilt of 'Airplane' to the dusky bump of 'Go Baby', but it's the strength of Sol's vocal presence which binds everything together so perfectly. This neo-soul gem executes such a whirlwind of progression with confessional lyricism that harkens back to her earlier work, and simple yet moving piano to spotlight Sol's incredible voice. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Alongside the widespread success of Sault, we've been able to bear witness to the continued rise of core member Cleo Sol as a standout voice in the vanguard of UK soul. Her relationship with Davinche would prove to be instrumental in putting Cleo on the map in terms of the UK underground music scene.

Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. The music, the lyrics and even more the vocals on this record are purposeful and so well placed that your body can fell the magic that was created in the studio. Punk 45: There Is No Such Thing As Society (2024 Edition) Get A Job, Get A Car, Get A Bed, Get Drunk! Took my original copy back due to the static noises and crackling that peaks around the vocals mainly on side B, 2nd copy does exactly the same in the same places so must be a bad pressing which is a huge shame for such a good album at such a premium too.The playing has a raw, in-the-room immediacy and it flows so naturally it wouldn’t be a surprise to learn it was recorded in one take. A West London girl at heart, Cleo was born and raised in Ladbroke Grove and was brought up with a strong sense of community.

Cleo quickly became the singer in the family, jostling for attention amongst seven other siblings, she received a second hand karaoke player from her mum which gave her a platform to display her early talents to her musical family.
