here's been an air of excitement since the dawn of this singer's arrival.

The name, Charlotte Dos Santos, has been sung loudly from this websites rooftops ever since she released her debut single - Watching You (2015) and since then I've been eager to hear her first body of collected work.

The Norwegian singer has now dropped her first album 'Cleo'. It's the story of a romance told with a pleasant 'loungeful' vibe from start to finish.

Birdsong fills the air on the album's interlude opening 'Sumer is Icumen In' - a medieval English round song (yes, from the mid-13th century) announcing summer has arrived. Charlotte Dos Santos paints the picture of a warm hues and pastel tones with ease and beauty as she effortlessly invites us into her musical universe of dreamy vocals and beats.

The first track 'Good Sign' is like walking in a field of flowers on a warm summer day dreaming of your sweetheart in such a nice, airy way it makes us smile.

Listening to 'Cleo' it's hard not to associate Charlotte Dos Santos vocals with Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse, and the music tastes of Minnie Riperton. It's a wonderful fusion of the late 60s and 70s soulful sound and today's electro-soul.

'Watching You', is a steamy hot, late night tune, so groovy it almost makes me blush. Charlotte Dos Santos' playful, seductive vocals draw you into a fantasy sleep as she wants us to 'fly away into the stars, dream until the sun arise'. If it weren't for the fadeout, we probably would.

'Move On', and 'Cleo' continues this lovely dreamy feeling characterising the first half of the album.

The second half is more bittersweet, as the romance goes wrong with the timeless single 'Red Clay'. 'King of Hearts' is edgier though still keeping it's cool.

'Take It Slow' is the ace of the album and the way the vocals melt together with the instruments is amazing leaving me wishing it wouldn't end so soon.

Charlotte Dos Santos musical universe is mesmerising and beautiful, and 'Cleo' is a love story you can listen to over and over again.

The soul singer’s latest is a multi-perspective, multi-genre examination of addiction and family breakdown.

Raphael Saadiq’s solo career has been haunted by the ghosts of tormented men and women. One such figure hides beneath the catchy pop melody of “You’re the One That I Like,” a song from his 2002 debut Instant Vintage about losing a love interest to addiction. Another lurks in “Grown Folks,” a concerned-but-scolding soul track off his sophomore album Ray Ray, about parents who can’t seem to prioritize their children. And even “Good Man,” from his 2011 retro-R&B album Stone Rollin’, is filled with contempt for the would-be patriarchs that just can’t get it together.

He’s walked a fine line between approaching these self-destructive figures—stand-ins for the ruptures and trauma in African-American communities—with empathy and pity. Which is perhaps why his latest album Jimmy Lee feels like a long-held exhalation. Named after his late brother who died of an overdose around the time Saadiq left legendary R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné!, Jimmy Lee is a multi-perspective, multi-genre examination of addiction and family breakdown that pushes Saadiq to his most humanizing work yet.

Jimmy Lee is Saadiq’s first solo album since 2011’s Stone Rollin’, but his fingerprints are all over the past few years of Black American culture. “Mighty River,” which he co-wrote with Mary J. Blige for the 2017 film Mudbound, earned the duo an Academy Award Best Original Song nomination. On the small screen, Saadiq has served as composer for HBO’s Insecure since 2016. But his greatest artistic feat since Stone Rollin’ has by far been serving as executive producer of Solange’s 2016 album A Seat at the Table.
