Rose In The Dark

Product Information

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. 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A stint at a local youth center paired with a dedicated and motivational singing teacher came together to alter Cleo's passion for singing from a hobby to a serious profession at the age of 16, and she began song-writing and honing her vocals on a weekly basis, later performing at monthly showcases.

The slightly cooler, more beautiful 'girl-next-door', Cleo, loves fashion and she says her style is influenced by her Dad's 'rockabilly', mixed with grunge and 80's era music; "If all else fails, it's all about the big hair and big earrings", she says. Due to inventory and accounting purposes, we do not exchange items received for different items than originally purchased.The album book is so well thought out and intimate, with photos of her through the years and lyrics written in her handwriting. Comprised of 11 tracks crafted from threads of '70s jazz and '90s neo-soul - the album is perfect for those that love Jill Scott, Solange, Shaolin Soul, Minnie Ripperton and Lauryn Hill.

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. Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands. Yes ,the cover is very heavy cardboard, but it's also poorly designed and it's difficult to get the vinyl back in the cover ; as it's like two tightly sandwiched pieces of card with no defined spine . Her songs are filled with emotion and authenticity, reflecting her personal experiences and journey. A West London girl at heart, Cleo was born and raised in Ladbroke Grove and was brought up with a strong sense of community.

In celebration of its two-year anniversary, she tweeted: "Two years since we released mother into the world, thank you for embracing me, and seeing me, writing my truth is sometimes difficult, but it’s freeing, and having you support me pushes me to be brave. Clearly influenced by neo-soul acts like Erykah Badu and Solange but also has strong roots in classic 70s female soul like Minnie Riperton.
