Just a shell of who I used to know Ever since you left I’m sleeping on my wrong side If I knew that it would cause such harm I’d think before I spoke so loud The meaning’s in the words we leave unsaid When the morning comes before you’ve laid to rest When you’re wide awake Why can’t you hear me when I scream? Dial 999 Emergency Is anyone there? I’m calling for help Why can’t you hear me when I scream? Dial 999 Emergency Is anyone there? I’m crying out If I scream louder, will you hear me now? If I yell louder, will you hear a sound? If I scream louder, will you hear me now? Dial 999 Your reflection looks like a stranger In a broken mirror staring back Showing our flaws that hide between the cracks It’s not too late to cry out for protection That’s why I yell Why can’t you hear me when I scream? Dial 999 Emergency Is anyone there? I’m calling for help Why can’t you hear me when I scream? Dial 999 Emergency Is anyone there? I’m crying out If I scream louder, will you hear me now? If I yell louder, will you hear a sound? If I scream louder, will you hear me now? Dial 999 Why can’t you hear me when I scream? Dial 999 Emergency Why can’t you hear me when I scream? Dial 999 Emergency Is anyone there? I’m calling for help Why can’t you hear me when I scream? Dial 999 Emergency Is anyone there? I’m crying out

In warm water running deep As your waves wash over me Somewhere caught in the inbetween of a feeling I was lost in a memory It felt easier than believing In a bittersweet song It won’t kill me to listen It hurts my pride To take the pill that makes me better There’s a fine line That separates me from my best and worst It hurts my pride when I abide in you When I abide I don’t want to be an enemy to myself I’ve been so mean It’s hard enough just trying to find some peace When everyone’s speaking I was lost in a memory It felt easier than believing In a bittersweet song It won’t kill me to listen It hurts my pride To take the pill that makes me better There’s a fine line That separates me from my best and worst It hurts my pride when I abide in you When I abide What if I admit that I need you here It’s been hard for me to let you in Just be patient with me While I find the strength I apologize if I’ve been a bad friend to you

about

An artist often has to put their soul on display for the world to hear and Sola makes sure she is heard loud and clear for all to see. Sola first picked up the piano at age six and draws from a range of influences including classical music, jazz, and electronica. She reinvigorates R&B into “warped soul” - a distorted and vulnerable look at what it means to be a Black British woman today. Sola’s British-Nigerian heritage plays an integral role in her sound and visuals.

Sola shares brand new mixtape ‘Warped Soul.' The project is the latest full body offering from Sola featuring singles such as “Abide In U”, “Scream999”, “Heat” and “One Breath” with features from Moses Boyd, Rarelyalways and Haich Ber Na. The mixtape has 9 tracks and explores different genres in Sola’s domain such as Club, Classical, Jazz & Trip-Hop.

Of the mixtape, Sola shares: "This is a collection of songs that pays tribute to the rich history of black British music while also trying to push the boundaries of genre, colour outside the lines, and redefine people's expectations of what a black British woman making music should sound like today. It explores everything from club influences to trip-hop and jazz, while also paying tribute to my background in classical music.
The title of the project is also a bit of a double entendre, as outside of the soulful warped sonics, much of the lyrical material explores human imperfection & vulnerability. The project was mostly self-produced and written, but also features contributions from Moses Boyd, Rarelyalways, and Haich Ber Na.”

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
