Sól is an artist who invites you into her world. Reminiscent of 1970s soul singers like Minnie Riperton and Deniece Williams, she creates an intimate and soft universe where she draws you in with her ethereal voice. Following up from the success of her single “Lover Girl,” Sol returns with the fiery release of “Talk to me.”
The video begins with a young man walking towards a loft apartment in downtown Chicago. The song fades in and then begins with a soft, percussive beat. The scene follows Sol in the apartment and the young man until they meet in the loft. Sól's melodies reverberate throughout the background and set the scene for a sultry vibe. She eases into the song, discussing her hopes of this potential romance. The separate scenes serve as a gateway to the perspective of what each feels when a romance is blooming. The orange and beige color scheme present throughout the video is a nod to the soul era of the 1970s.
Throughout the track, Sól demonstrates her poetic nature with lyrics like 'We can ride the waves, take our time, slow motion.’ The BPM increases as the scene switches to a dance party in the loft. You see the infectious energy in the air, and you see things heating up between the pair. As the couple dance, you hear “why don’t you talk to me’ in the background. “The red backdrop helps create an intense and intimate vibe. The video constantly reinforces that intimacy is the highest form of communication. In a generation that tends to be avoidant, Sól takes a bold step and puts her emotions on display.
