Soleil is a singer-songwriter, DJ, and vocal producer known for soulful storytelling, powerful vocals, and genre-blending performances that bridge the stage and dance floor. Originally from New York and now based in Miami, Soleil creates immersive musical experiences inspired by Soul, R&B, Blues, EDM, Disco House, Deep House, Amapiano, Afrobeats, Baile Funk, and Pop.
The artist kicked off the summer with “(A) Jolene (Cover).” The song is a jazzy, soulful rendition of Dolly Parton’s timeless classic. The budding songstress follows up the cover song with an original single, “Heart Strings.” “Heart Strings” is a sultry, moody R&B/Soul jam with a Blues, Funk, Jazz, and Neo-Soul flair, showcasing Soleil’s immense vocal range.
“Heart Strings” is a heartbreak and reclamation anthem. The emotive track is a reflective record that dives into the lingering nostalgia and melancholy of a breakup. It balances somberness with a motivational tone and self-love/self-worth lyrics. “‘Heart Strings’ explores the phases of a less-than-ideal relationship, so the lyrics move from questioning the past to embracing personal growth.” Soleil continues, “The song captures the bittersweet process of letting go while reclaiming the parts of yourself that someone else never gave you.”
The music video for “Heart Strings” brings the song’s cinematic soundscape to life. The captivating visual, directed by Riccardo Solorzano, bounces back and forth between black-and-white and color, cleverly symbolizing the song’s juxtaposition – solemn yet uplifting. The music video depicts seasoned performer Soleil putting on a powerful performance. The addition of the sound of crowds clapping is genius and makes the music video feel live and interactive.
The record is the product of Soleil and her dream team. Soleil co-wrote “Heart Strings” alongside CJ Hilton. CJ Hilton also produced the song. Richard Boisrond added guitar, Moises Lenare was on the drums, Josh Walton contributed bass, and Juan Santiago played keys. Renowned engineer Paolo Angulo mixed and mastered the single. “Heart Strings” precedes Soleil’s upcoming single, “Rubbish,” which is also accompanied by a music video.
