Mother

About

That motherhood is transformative is an understatement. For those who have the experience, it can change who they are and how they perceive the world, with fresh eye, an open heart, and a devotion so deep it feels like being unmade. Thu, it's fitting that Cleo Sol’s <i>Mother</i> begins with a monument to maternal love—its abundant patience and grace for which she has a new understanding. “The train never stopped, never had time to unpack your trauma,” the British singer-songwriter croons gently on the opening track, “Don’t Let Me Fall.” “Keep fighting the world, that’s how you get love, mama.” Likewise, “Heart Full of Love” is an ode to her own child (who adorns the cover) that strives to portray both the power of that singular feeling and the gratitude that’s leveled her in its presence: “Thank you for sending me an angel straight from heaven, when my hope was gone, you made me strong...Thank you for being amazing, teaching me to hold on.” .
