Sol Paradise
Sol is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter from London, whose sound blends elements of jazz, funk, and neo-soul. His latest EP, In the Garden, has received significant recognition, garnering over 500,000 streams, including features on Spotify Fresh Finds UK, BBC R6, and Jazz UK.
It’s clear his star is rising; his streaming success and media recognition led him to play the Brick Lane Jazz Festival and the inaugural SXSW London.
I was lucky enough to attend his sold-out show at Omeara last night in London. This show was the final night of his debut UK headline tour, where he sold out every single night.
His latest EP, In The Garden, feels like the perfect soundtrack for a balmy summer’s evening lying in the park. There is a joyous calmness to this record, which skillfully and playfully fuses old school Jazz with a delightful dollop of funk and soul.
At moments, this record made me think of Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions. Sol Paradise is a North Londoner, and somehow, you can tell, there is something distinctly urban about this record. It’s forged from a life in the city.
As a live proposition, Sol Paradise and his band are a compelling yet easy listen. It’s cool, effortless and meandering. Trumpets, Saxophones and Flutes elevate the style alongside keys, guitars and drums. It’s a room swelling sound that sweeps you up and away.
Go lose yourself in this EP on your next stroll around your neighbourhood, or play it to impress your friends at your next park picnic.
