notes
"In my 10+ years of performing, I have never given a background vocalist as much free reign as Sol. The dude is an incredible talent." - Eric Roberson
The quote says it all. The voice is sincere, warm, strong and soothing. That voice belongs to SolEdler. "Sol," as he is known by most of his counterparts, is short for soldier-the meaning of his birth name, Troy. It also is the perfect description of his style of music, even if spelled differently.
Born in Washington, DC and brought up in its suburb of P.G. County, Maryland, Sol was taught the fundamentals and extensions of vocals in church singing with his sister and mother, then further honing his skills in Durham, NC in choirs in and around his alma mater, North Carolina Central University (with friend and classmate, Yahzarah).
After returning home, Sol made a name for himself in D.C.'s open-mic/poetry scene doing a combination of spoken word and singing when he happened upon a local act, Zwei and embarked on what can only be described as an expose' in D.C./MD/No.Va's talent pool-Song of Solomon.
Blending soul with all its roots and offspring, Song of Solomon explores old-school, 80's, hip-hop & neo-soul with an occassional splash of jazz for a truly loaded 11 song 14 track masterpiece.

"AWESOME"
author: Michael GreeneAwesome voice! Soothing and mellow! "Step Further" is one of the best songs vocally and lyrically that I have listened to in a very long time. Thanks for making the world a better place through your gift of music.
What I've been Waiting On!
author: Jarrod BarnesThis is a must have. A work of art. Soothing, ministering, enlightening and inspiring in every aspect. A gift to be shared with the world. Just when I thought that Sol's voice was perfect, he came through with this masterpiece and raised the mark that much higher and wowwed me! I am and will be supportive for anything this artist shares with the world.
Incredible talent

Rich, Warm, & Delicious Tone in this young mans voice!
author: James Day...And the songs Kiss Mama, Remember Me, & Step Further are well worth the price of admission! Can't wait for another Sol Elder CD! :-) JD
It's ABOUT TIME!!
author: Bougiegirlso very proud to see a homegrown, downright good guy make his mark. i joined the SOL fam last year when he was performing in cozy, intimate spots around town. my favorite song, Make Me Cry, makes ME cry. the intimacy and emotion in his live performances are definitely captured on this CD. u don't have it yet? WHAT R U WAITING 4?!
WOW! Sol's voice stands on its own!
author: ReseyThis CD is wonderful! Sol's rich baritone is captivating, giving care to each word, phrase and note. There are several songs of which could easily become classics (Step Further, Make Me Cry, Tonight & Remember Me all come to mind), but the entire CD is filled with a great mix of R&B tunes. BUY THIS CD and be taken away on a ride. There is no disappoint with Sol...he's the truth!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
author: MiMiWhat a voice! From the first snippet I heard on his website, I knew I had to get this CD--his voice is like that special lullaby that will instantly cradle you to sleep. I love Crush, and Step Further--but to be honest, EVERY song on there is a gem! Don't let this pass you by--once you cop this, you WON'T HAVE ANY REGRETS!
fresh air to my mind/body/soul
author: tyrusrochellsuch a beautiful collections of lyrical emotions that made me feel good and smile
Sol does indeed have SOUL.
author: Chip LandryWith a tone like hot fudge over a cool sundae, Sol is no run of the mill artist. When you add great writing, immaculate production, optimum musicianship and the vocal confidence of a seasoned vet, "Song of Solomon Book 1" is no ordinary debut.
Sol that's back to basics, but hardly basic. Classic!
author: Tim'mSol's "Song of Solomon" Book 1 is the hearty raindrop that forshadows the forthcoming storm, raining down a polyharmonic baritone tone that will stop catz and dawgs mid air, like "wha? who dat?" A debut project, it features Sol's strong, sensual vocals which do not mimic the cliche runs xerox'd by every other male vocalist in our soul/r&b landscape. "Touchable", "Step Further", "True Lies" and "Here Am I" are among my favorites. A testimony to his abilities as a poet, Sol's writing further distinguishes this project from the humdrum "baby baby baby, come here, look-at-chu, you so phyne". Look out for Sol on my next project. This brotha deserves to blow up (without going pop) and has the resolve and confidence to do so like no one else: Solfully.
Simply captivativating
author: KTA tremendous debut CD for a very talented young man. I'm sure this is a prelude of big things to come. For any true R & B fan this CD is a must have. The uniqueness of his sound seperates him from many other up and coming artists. The remake of Zhane's crush was tizzight.
Great album from beging to end
author: ChristopherI'm so glad to have rich music like yours in my life it makes life easier. Brother man you did your thing on this one I can't wait to hear more from you. You are a true natural talent from God. GET THIS JOINT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!

author: tara carterfrom the moment i heard the first clip on sol edler's webiste i was itching to see what the release date would be. finally its here and its a breath of fresh air. this day and age good music is hard to find. i am loving the voice and the message. pick this cd up!!!!
Best thing to happen to RnB since Will Downing......
author: WayneWayne' WorldHaving very particular taste and only wanting the musical best for myselfi have to admit that going in i was guarded. The 1st track blew my away and i have been in awe ever since. This guy has the most refreshing and unique voice i have heard since i discoverd a young Will Downing. I get the feeling we have yet to hear the best this young man has to offer, I look foward to the musical journey
Wonderful artiste and beautiful songs!
author: TonyAnthonyI look forward to seeing and hearing more from this brother. Very moving. This CD gets mega spins in the carousel!
Don't know what real music is until you hear this!!
author: AlexeiSol's voice blew me away the first time I heard him. He would definitely make Stevie, Donnie, and Luther proud. So silky and smooth, so powerful, yet playful. The CD showcases Sol at his best. The melodies are effortless and beautiful. The lyrics are well thought-out stories that will keep you listening and listening. The arrangments are interesting, yet not overdone. Definitely CD of the year in my book. GET IT!!!
I absolutely loved the CD!
author: JoI loved the CD so much that I sent it to my sister-in-law in Boston. My intent is to share with all of my contacts (national and international) so everyone can experience SolEdler. The lyrics are original and heartfelt; and the melodies are soothing.
his voice is like silk
author: Tobi BrownIts that type of music you dont hear anymore. Its like the old school music people still continue to buy because we miss that style. Song of Solomon brings all the flavor from the old school back to the new era. Added with sol's silky voice, it is raw talent at its finest.
More...
author: newkeithIn this age of over produced big budget extravaganzas, it is refreshing to hear a PURE vocal product. Pick it up and you won't be disappointed.
Fresh
author: newkeithIf you are tired of the same voices and are looking for something different. Look no more. Sol's voice pulls you in and invites you into his world. Step Further has the makinga of a classic, and Here Am I make you want to surrender who YOU are. Made on modest budget, but not a CHEAP product. Pick it up and you will be happy with your purchase.
