9. "so..."

Soooo...I was gonna talk about this on the sault post, but I figure there's so much positive energy in there about the release, no need for my rants. But you've opened the door..ha.

I dig Sault.
I repeat, I really dig Sault.
The music, the secrecy about the band, the surprise drops, all of it.
5 was a great debut. 7 was...good.
Untitled I feel is REALLY good, but like you I haven't had time to really sit with it.
So now we're getting Untitled Part 2 in less than 3 months from that
and I'm like..."Can a brotha breathe?"

I get it. Who am I to complain about how and when an artist releases good music?
I guess coming from an editor's mentality, you never show EVERYTHING you have. It dilutes the message.
Have Part 2 come out 2021 in the Spring,
and tell me it wouldn't have MORE of an impact than right now?
Especially when people are just getting Untitled.

I also get that Sault is competing for attention. (c) Phonte
Artists release music in July, and by September we're not even talking about it anymore. Shoot, might not even be listening.

But unlike a majority of music that's out, Sault has a following.
We love the music. We're here. Exhale some and come back with something great.

There's a guy locally here in Chicago that has Cleo's LP the cheapest I've seen ($40). On a Monday I'll say I'm getting it. Come Friday I'll say, "I don't need that."
