Sault, the elusive R&B-and-funk collective led by producer Inflo, have returned with Chapter 1, their 13th album. The LP features contributions from R&B singer Cleo Sol, singer-songwriter Jack Peñate, and legendary hitmakers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
Since Sault’s acclaimed 2019 album 5, the group has surprise-released more than a dozen projects under Inflo’s Forever Living Originals imprint. In 2025, the producer was sued by frequent collaborator Little Simz over Inflo’s alleged failure to repay a $2.2 million loan to cover the costs of Sault’s first-ever live performance, in December 2023.
In a statement accompanying Chapter 1, the group noted that the album “moves with patience and belief. Rhythm, breath, and silence sit side by side, creating a space that is reflective yet charged. There is warmth and expectation. A sense that something is gathering.”
