“Her sound blends the subtlety of Ella Fitzgerald, the introspection of Erykah Badu, and the digital melancholy of Portishead, creating a body of work that feels both timeless and forward-looking, a dialogue between eras, where the warmth of classic soul meets the precision of the digital age.”
— Ladygunn
“Sci-Fi flics like The Fifth Element imagined what music could sound like in the 23rd century and beyond. But why wait? Solene creates futuristic cyber jazz for our current times - the soul that nourishes the heart chakra; the punk that feeds from, rebels against and destroys late-stage capitalism.”
Artist Bio
Los Angeles singer-songwriter Solene (a.k.a. Solene Velvet) is the pioneering voice of cyber jazz—a cinematic fusion of smoky vocals, lofi beats, and cyberpunk noir aesthetics. Deeply influenced by Portishead and Ella Fitzgerald, her glamorous, retro-futuristic sound is tailored for upscale, neon-lit jazz clubs. Having amassed 7 million streams with Chase the Stars, earned a cult following as "The Mother of Cyber Jazz," and collaborated with icons like Conductor Williams and Talib Kweli, she has established a unique solo vision: a glamorous, dystopian, genreless musical world. Her highly anticipated album, Femme Fatale, drops May 22, fusing live jazz instrumentation, heavy lofi knock, and sleek electronica.
