SAULT (frequently stylised in all caps) are a pseudonymous British music collective that make a mixture of rhythm and blues, house and disco. The project is helmed by producer Inflo, best known for his work with Little Simz, Michael Kiwanuka, Jungle and Adele. Despite critical acclaim, Sault eschew interaction with the media,[1] and features an array of unnamed collaborators. They frequently foreground black-centric issues.[2]

History[]

SAULT's albums in 2020, Untitled (Black Is), released in June, and Untitled (Rise), released in September, both received universal critical acclaim,[3][4] including a nomination for the Mercury Prize in 2021 for the latter.[5]

On 24 June 2021, the band released their fifth studio album, Nine, which was available for 99 days from its release until 2 October 2021. In the same year, the band were nominated at the MOBO Awards, alongside vocalist Cleo Sol, for Best R&B/Soul Act.
