SAULT

Sault are a British music group known for releasing music as a mostly anonymous collective. The project is helmed by producer Inflo and lead vocalist and songwriter Cleo Sol, and it has drawn attention for keeping many of its collaborators uncredited or otherwise undisclosed. Their recordings move across R&B and urban contemporary gospel, and also incorporate house and disco, placing them in a lineage of dance music and soul while retaining a contemporary, studio-driven sound.

The group’s approach has been defined by both its personnel and its presentation. Sault operate with limited public detail about membership, and the identities of many participants have not been formally confirmed. Even so, a number of collaborators are known. Artists who have worked with the project include Kid Sister, Chronixx, Jack Peñate, Little Simz and Michael Kiwanuka. Alongside this rotating cast, Inflo’s role as producer anchors the project’s sonic continuity, while Cleo Sol’s presence as lead vocalist and songwriter provides a consistent narrative and melodic center.

Lyrically and thematically, Sault frequently place Black-centric issues at the foreground. This focus is part of the group’s public identity despite their broader anonymity, and it has shaped how their music is discussed in relation to contemporary British R&B and adjacent styles. Rather than functioning as a traditional band with a stable lineup and conventional publicity, Sault have been framed as a project built around collaboration, studio craft, and a deliberate withholding of biographical detail.

They have released music through Forever Living Originals, a label associated with their output. While the collective’s full discography and complete list of contributors are not consistently presented in official credits, Sault’s work is commonly described as a hybrid of R&B, gospel-influenced urban contemporary music, and dance-floor forms such as house and disco, unified by Inflo’s production and Cleo Sol’s vocal and songwriting role.
