I did manage to find a slightly larger plastic sleeve, but be prepared for the fact that this might stick out of your 12" storage. Cleo's inspirations derive from her parents' musical passions, shuffling through a record collection of classics across Motown, Reggae, Latin, and Acid Jazz. Akin to millions of other young girls, Cleo loved the Spice Girls, and wanted to grow up to be flame-haired Geri. With an impressive discography already under her belt, including collaborations with renowned artists such as Jorja Smith and Little Simz, Cleo Sol continues to make waves in the industry.

Following last year's universally adored Rose In The Dark, Cleo Sol is back with an album that challenges its predecessor's supremacy. We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres. 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.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. The 'Product' page will show the most up to date info we have with regards to the item and its release date, but this information is subject to change so check in with us if you have any questions. And as with the previous album, the pressing is very decent and the packaging is of incredible quality, a really thick matt finish card – the best I own I’d say, and I have a lot!

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. 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. While ears are reeling from the wonder of Heaven, we’re now treated to Gold and it’s hard to fathom how so many incredible songs can spill out from one person. Cleo also featured on 'Give a Little Love', the official Orange Rockcorps anthem alongside Roll Deep, Wretch 32 and Aggro Santos.

Whether she's singing about love, heartbreak or self-discovery, Cleo Sol's music resonates with listeners on a deep level. A stint at a local youth centre 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. A West London girl at heart, Cleo was born and raised in Ladbroke Grove and was brought up with a strong sense of community. 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. Straying not too far from the classicist neo-soul vibe of her prior Forever Living Originals efforts, Heaven is more natural refinement than radical departure and all the better for it.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. Akin to millions of other young girls, Cleo loved the Spice Girls and wanted to grow up to be flame-haired, Geri. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out.

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.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.
