After years of quietly releasing center stage-worthy music yet averting the spotlight, British singer-songwriter Cleo Sol made her long-awaited debut on Friday night at the Hollywood Bowl. (Before the show started, several people in the crowd near me said they were ready to cry — and so was I.) Cleo Sol, who is also the lead vocalist for the equally elusive U.K.-based collective SAULT, could’ve easily dipped into their robust catalog — which spans 11 studio albums and two EPs — during Friday night’s set. During her song “Heart Full of Love,” which she dedicated to her son, Cleo Sol joined her background vocalists and sat on a stool. Cleo Sol follows the divine timing of her life and does what feels right for her, which has paid off in the long run.
