Cleo Sol
Vocal Range: C3-D6
Vocal Type: Mezzo-Soprano
A bluesy and sophisticated singer best suited to R&B and soul, Cleo Sol's voice is melodic and soothing, and surprisingly versatile - being able to alter her tone to suit the delivery of whichever lyric or emotion she is trying to convey. Whilst Cleo's vocal style is mostly understated and tone/lyrical driven, moments of power do happen occasionally allowing her to showcase a solid 3 octaves of vocal range, although she is mostly singing in the 2 octave range, preferring to do much of her singing across the fourth octave in a soft mixed voice or dipping down into the lower 3rd with a warm but robust lower register. Cleo has a great ability of creating a very intimate sound with her voice, which is often light and soft but with just a slight richness to it. Nowadays Cleo mostly juggles her own solo output and her contributions as a vocalist and writer for the enigmatic collective Sault to create music which is deep in tone and emotion, superbly finished with Cleo's voice. Cleo can belt and hit impressive high notes when required (see Higher, Free, Wildfires, Still Cold) and also use melisma throughout her range, but doesn't do it often. For the most part Cleo doesn't really have to do much to sound good and to appeal to an audience - she just has what it takes and has a great voice for a recording artist (but is very good live too!)
