To mark the launch of her major label debut single 'Never The Right Time (Who Do Yo Love)' and the release of it's video, Cleo Sol performed an exclusive set at Notting Hill's famous club night, YoYo.
Cleo was
raised just up the road in Ladbroke Grove by musical parents and has settled on a sound that
reflects her unique heritage (her mother is half Serbian, half Spanish and her
father is Jamaican). Having already worked with the likes of Tinie Tempah,
Wretch 32 & Bashy, she is already one of the best known artists on the London
live music scene.
Arriving on stage at the Notting Hill Arts Club in front of a packed capacity crowd, which included many big music industry faces, and looking stunning in a pink oriental style dress with a modern twist (as well as some VERY high heels), Cleo launched into her set with a cover of the Bacarach & David classic 'Walk On By'. Visible taken aback by the size of the audience that had turned out just to see her, she continued with several of her own compositition including fan favourites 'Call For Me' & 'Free My Mind'.
A superb cover of Frank Ocean's Thinking About You which had the whole crowd singing along, call & response style.
This was followed by her previous single, the ska influence summer anthem from last year, 'High'.
Cleo rounded off her set with a new song (to me anyway), the very funky 'Did I Tell You' and finally we were treated to a live performance of 'Never The Right Time'.The song,
produced by Davinche samples The Isley Brothers classic ‘Work To Do’ which
gives the track it’s funky 70’s feel & the live version had the same vibe.
The hot video (which you can see below) features Cleo in a variety of styles referencing some of her musical inspirations.
Never The Right Time is officially released on July 2nd through Island Records.
