Solace (stylized in all lowercase) is the debut extended play by American rapper Earl Sweatshirt. It was uploaded to his unofficial YouTube channel dar Qness on April 28, 2015. Sweatshirt describes this release as "music from when [he] hit the bottom and found something". [1]
Solace is split into 5 parts and is dedicated to Sweatshirt's mother, Cheryl Harris, [2] and his late grandmother. Solace's lyrical themes include drugs, insomnia, depression, losing friends, death, and coping with the loss of his grandmother.
Solace received critical acclaim. Vice's Noisey called it "beautiful", [3] Spin called it "whoozy and complicated". [4] Pitchfork gave it a positive review calling it "a tranquil 10-minute rap suite" that "seeks out a glimmer of hope in the dark" and that "Earl grasps the great distance of loved ones, even when he sees them so close." [5]
