Twelve albums in six years. For most artists, such an incessant stream of new music in such a short time period would invariably hit the point of diminishing returns, with the quality of the songs being eclipsed by the quantity of output.

But SAULT has proven to be the unique exception to this rule, as evidenced by their just-released twelfth studio album 10, which follows last year’s Acts of Faith (2024) and affirms the UK collective’s enduring penchant for moving souls and elevating spirits through song. With another impressive ensemble of gifted musicians along to support the affair, primary purveyors (and life partners) Inflo and Cleo Sol captivate once again across the 10 compositions on offer here.

Listen:

OutKast’s ‘ATLiens’ Turns 30 | Album Anniversary

The duo’s second studio affair was a shift toward more cosmic, leftfield strains of sound and deeper, more intricate narrative threads replete with more prominent symbolism and metaphor.

Biz Markie’s ‘I Need A Haircut’ Turns 35 | Album Anniversary

The hip-hop legend’s third studio affair features some of his most entertaining and inspired lyrical performances, with heavy doses of Biz’s signature goofiness side by side with serious-minded narratives.

Björk’s ‘Vespertine’ Turns 25 | Album Anniversary

On her fourth studio affair, Björk relinquishes the big beats that dominated her previous work, opting instead for hushed, whispered snatches of vocals with electronic bleeps, whirs and pulses.
