Mother

"The music facilitates Cleo's difficult talk with her mother, in which the singer makes known her pain, frustration, and sympathy without equivocation".

"Cleo Sol er en velkendt soulstemme fra det ellers anonyme mystiske musikkollektiv Sault. Nu er hun her med sit andet album. Et album, hvor der (...) er elementer af både gospel og jazz, og sangene er så velkomponerede og tidsløse, at jeg tog mig selv i at tjekke efter, om de overhovedet var nye ... Men hvis man vil høre hende, når hun er bedst, er det i musikkollektivet Sault på deres fænomenale sang 'Wildfires' fra albummet 'Black Is' fra 2020".

"On 2020 solo debut, 'Rose In The Dark', west London's Cleo Sol turned in a superior neo-soul album, while growing her reputation as the singer in the quasi-anonymous Sault. Given the production/co-writing presence of Inflo, 'Mother' is virtually a Sault album in all but name, but refrains from their characteristic retro-modernist sonic treatments in favour of a vibe that is far more 1972-74-era Stevie Wonder ... If the result is a slow-grower, filled with multi-movement songs and repeated mantras, then it's one that further reveals its brilliance with every play".
