Soluss Steps Forward With Confident Debut Album “It’s Him”

Soluss’ debut album “It’s Him” arrives with a quiet confidence that reflects an artist who knows exactly who he is and understands how long it took to get there. Emerging from Detroit under a newly claimed name, Soluss sheds his former identity and steps forward with a body of work that feels deliberate, lived in, and unapologetically self assured. Rather than sounding like a first attempt, It’s Him plays like the release of someone who waited until the vision was fully formed before pressing record.

The album is deeply rooted in Detroit’s creative lineage while refusing to be boxed in by it. You can hear the influence of sharp lyricism and tonal agility associated with artists like Pharoahe Monch, paired with the infectious, community driven energy that Detroit collectives have long championed. Soluss navigates these inspirations with ease, shifting moods and textures without losing cohesion.

There is a sense of play throughout the project, but it is always anchored by intention and craft.

A major factor in the album’s cohesion is the long standing partnership between Soluss and Kayoken. Their near two decade friendship translates into a studio chemistry that feels instinctive rather than forced. Recorded at Toneworx in Michigan, the album carries a raw warmth. Moments that feel spontaneous sit comfortably beside meticulously refined passages. Even the more unconventional choices, like weaving in personal and almost offhand elements from the studio sessions, add to the album’s character instead of distracting from it.

What ultimately sets It’s Him apart is its emotional clarity. This is not an album chasing validation or trends. It is an artist standing firmly behind his work. There is humor, self awareness, and a refreshing lack of pretense that runs through the project. Soluss sounds comfortable being a fan of his own growth, and that confidence becomes contagious for the listener.

With a recent live performance already proving his ability to command a crowd, It’s Him feels less like an introduction and more like a statement of arrival. Soluss is not testing the waters. He is claiming space, backed by years of refinement and a clear artistic voice that is ready to be heard.
