SAULT Surprises Fans with Official Release of New Album “Acts of Faith”

New Album Release

SAULT have officially released “Acts of Faith,” their surprise album that dropped earlier this year.

The mysterious collective first released “Acts of Faith” in July, with the entire album available as a single 32-minute .wav file. Since then, fans have requested an official release.

Ahead of Christmas, they took to their official Twitter/X account to share a short clip from the album “Pray For Me” on December 20th.

Then, on Christmas Day, SAULT shared a link to the album and its cover art, writing: “ACTS OF FAITH – Album officially released today.” You can listen here.

“Acts of Faith” debuted last December when SAULT played their first exciting live concert. The performance also featured Little Simz and Michael Kiwanuka.

Upcoming Concerts and Collaborations

Shortly after this, the band suggested that several more concerts around the world would take place in the near future, although they had not yet taken place.

According to a post on social media, the concerts were supposed to feature their albums “5” in New York, “Black” in Los Angeles, “Untitled (Rise)” in Canada, “11” in Germany, “Air” in Paris, and “Earth” in Africa at some point.

SAULT has never officially confirmed the lineup of their band; however, producer Inflo is generally credited as the leader, with Cleo Sol, Kid Sister, Chronixx, and others providing uncredited vocals.

In January, Andre 3000 said he planned to record a collaboration with the group and confirmed that he spent time with them in the studio.

In an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music, rapper OutKast said: “A musician friend told me about them when they were in the secret stage. So he connected me with them.”

“You know, we hung out, went to the studio, messed around a little… yeah. And as soon as they interested me, I kind of listened to what had been done before. I think they only had one or two albums out at that point.”

Host Gilles Peterson then asked Benjamin if he had recorded any music with SAULT and if fans could “look forward” to hearing it. “We can count on that in the future,” he replied.

In the 2021 Nine’s four-star review: NME wrote: “Salt once again demonstrates the power of words and how impactful music can be. It’s impossible not to feel touched by the stories told.”

“Despite the sadness of “Nine,” Sault conveys optimism and hope for a brighter future in his songs. Paired with shimmering piano keys, the album’s poignant closing words offer a lifeline: Never lose yourself / You can always start again.”
