Sault
Sault arrived with almost no warning and let the music do the talking. The British collective keeps its lineup largely out of sight, with producer Inflo at the centre and singer Cleo Sol among the voices most often heard, and instead pours everything into a run of records that mix soul, funk, gospel and orchestral writing. Songs like "Wildfires" and "Free" carry grief and hope at once, and the sheer pace of the releases has become part of the point.

UNTITLED (Black Is) (2020). It's the record where everything came into focus, written and released in the months after George Floyd's murder. "Wildfires," "Black Is" and "Free" are all here, and they show exactly what the group can do.
Biography
Sault are a British music group that make a mixture of R&B, urban contemporary gospel, house and disco. The project is helmed by producer Inflo and lead vocalist and songwriter Cleo Sol. The group operates as a mostly anonymous collective, with many of its collaborators remaining a mystery. Known collaborators have included Kid Sister, Chronixx, Jack Peñate, Little Simz and Michael Kiwanuka. The group frequently puts Black-centric issues at the foreground.
During its first three years, Sault released five studio albums including 5 (2019), 7 (2019), Untitled (Black Is) (2020), Untitled (Rise) (2020), and Nine (2021). Throughout 2022, after releasing the orchestral instrumental album Air, the collective surprise-released five subsequent studio albums, simultaneously. The band has released thirteen studio albums to date, with their most recent, Chapter 1, released on January 9, 2026.
The collective have performed live on two occasions, with their debut performance at Drumsheds, London receiving widespread critical acclaim in December 2023. Their second performance – a five-hour headline set at All Points East festival in 2025 – received mixed reviews.
