Cleo Sol is one of this generation’s most beloved voices. With her soothing vocals and reassuring lyrics, her music makes for the perfect pick-me-up. She continues to pour into listeners with her latest single “Fear When You Fly.” Her first solo release since 2023’s back-to-back albums Heaven and Gold, Sol encourages everyone to spread their wings and let go of fear.
The sound of “Fear When You Fly” brings to mind ’70s soul by artists such as Minnie Riperton and Deniece Williams, with its stripped-down acoustics and warm, familiar chords. The subtle instrumentation and mellow mood of the track allow the lyrics to sink in as Cleo sings. “If you see me, know that I’m not broken / And even though my head may be low / I will not lose hope,” she shares in the first verse.
Throughout the hook, the London native repeats, “Feel the fear when you fly / You gotta learn to let go.” As she’s done on past releases, Sol sings about how her faith in God helps her to get through tough times. “If you feel I’m alone / Know the Lord is my home / And when I pray, He strengthens me,” she gracefully sings in the second verse. The song closes with Cleo repeating, “Feel the fear when you fly.”
This beautiful song is a gentle reminder that we are capable of making it through whatever troubles we may face in life. With her calming vocals and poetic lyrics, Cleo Sol’s newest single leaves us with a sincere, uplifting message to hold on to.
