Though SAULT thrives on anonymity, Acts Of Faith is produced entirely by Inflo, and Cleo Sol and he co-wrote all songs together, with the exception of the opening number “I Look For You” co-written with Jamar McNaughton. Like they’ve done on past releases, the project centers God and is heavy on Christian faith-based themes without being preachy or a straight-up gospel album. The SAULT crew delivers positive, uplifting and affirming messages on tracks that blend various genres into a modern neo-soul gospel hybrid.
Cleo Sol’s recognizable vocals are heard all over Acts Of Faith. She seeks God’s guidance on “I Look For You,” urges you to “Set Your Spirit Free” and encourages listeners to let go and let God on “God Will Help You Heal,” which segues flawlessly into “Heal.” Additional vocalists join Cleo on “Soul Clean” and “The Lesson Is Over,” both of which have a groovy 1970s sound similar to Rotary Connection’s “I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun.”
SAULT’s Acts Of Faith is both soul-stirring and soul-soothing with meaningful songs meant to move you. Though the collective keeps their identity relatively under wraps, their love for God is loud and clear, and their music is their vehicle for spreading the gospel.
