The enigmatic R&B /soul band lead by producer Inflo and singer Cleo Soul have released their first album since last April’s 10.
Chapter 1 is the band’s thirteenth record since 2019.
Chapter 1 features the band’s trademark stark black artwork with a candle on the cover, and ten tracks with the tracklisting as per below.
As well as the core duo, Jack Penate and the ’80s American production duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (Janet Jackson) contribute and there’s an extensive credit list that features an orchestra. The first track ‘God Protect Me From My Enemies’ features 27 players so you know SAULT spare no expense – which might help explain the Inflo/Little Simz unpaid loan breakdown of relationship from last year.
Still, a SAULT album is always worthy of listening to upon release – they always sounds top tier studio pristine.
It’s yet to appear on Bandcamp but it’s on streaming services – search for SAULT – Chapter 1 or this Youtube playlist.
