Hosted by @basement_selector and CRAVE @melleninwoods
Celebrating CRAVE’s 1 year anniversary as Evening Ritual collaborator and host!!
Join us as we immerse ourselves into Rihanna’s daring and introspective album “ANTI” from 2016. We’ll dive deep into the atmospheric production incorporating lo-fi beats, distorted vocals and downtempo arrangements. Bass-heavy tracks combined with textured minimalism. Muted and soulful, ANTI incorporates eclectic influences spanning from hip hop, soul, industrial, psychedelic, and more. With lyrics about the emotions of love and relationships, from endearment and desire to betrayal and liberation - this must be love on the brain.

@the_evening_ritual presents : CLEO SOL “Rose in the Dark” (2020) : Session 052
Join us as we immerse ourselves into the delicate and intentional R&B sound of British soul singer Cleo Sol @gyallikeclee ! A member of the UK musical collective SAULT, and guest vocalist alongside UK artist Little SImz, Cleo Sol has a voice that is rich and velvety smooth. Her influences range from the greats like Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. Reggae, Motown, jazz, and Latin music are among her influences growing up. These influences culminate into Cleo’s unique sound that incorporates R&B, gospel and dub making this an exceptional and fresh debut.
Rose in the Dark is an album that deserves to be listened to in its entirety, with intention.
