STAFF COMMENTS Barry says: Cleo Sol's last LP was a beautiful outing and showed her as one of the finest voices in modern soul. ‘Promises’ holds the same powerful energy, a subtle catchy chorus drenched in good vibes, proving difficult not to sing along to.Īnother gem, ‘Sunshine’ is a breath of fresh air, a more funk-inspired melody with uplifting compelling lyrics, it embodies what Cleo Sol does best, meaningful messages and the freshest soul around for miles. The love, optimism and wisdom weaved within this song is truly stunning. Her vocals are really highlighted by the stripped back neo-soul background, letting her voice shine throughout. ‘Don’t Let Me Fall’, the opening track sets the tone for the album, tender and harrowing in the most beautiful sense.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 2 SOUNDTRACK YOU DONT LOVE ME FULL
It offers a healing energy, full of emotion and elevated optimism, it’s hit just the right spot and what was lacking from this year. ‘Mother’ is a beautiful soulful album that bares all, a paired down softness to her music accentuates her stunning vocals. The 12-track offering, which includes a few hidden tracks, was inspired by Sol’s journey into motherhood. A worthy addition to any collection.Ĭleo Sol has returned with her new project titled ‘Mother’, produced by her longtime collaborator Inflo. Lead single 'Six Words' is classic, beautiful melodic fare and is echoed throughout the rest of this collection. STAFF COMMENTS Barry says: Flying Dream epitomises that dreamy, melodic sound we've come to know from Elbow, and is full of the spine-tingling euphoric moments that have peppered albums of recent years. It's a wonderfully understated album that feels somehow fitting for these strange times. 40 odd minutes of calm, amidst the turmoil and anxiety of the world.
There are no big anthems here, instead we're treated to lush melodies and delicate instrumentation, twinkling keys, brushed drums and Guy's soothing tones, even the inclusion of clarinets, saxophones and backing vocals are done with subtlety and grace, adding depth without stepping too far out of the lulling mood.
Things that have been brought sharply into focus for many people over the last 18 months. And Guy's lyrics are as wonderful as ever: poetic, romantic, nostalgic but never cloying. These 'little love notes' as Guy calls them formed the basis of the LP and the band finally convened at the empty Brighton Theatre Royal to perfect, perform, and record the songs.įor the most part, it's an album about love and relationships, family and friends. Like most bands I imagine, Elbow spent lockdown in isolation, writing and exchanging musical ideas remotely.
Elbow release their much anticipated ninth studio album, ‘Flying Dream 1’.
