Soleil’s debut single has now arrived as the empowered anthem ‘Small Girl in a Big World’. Through the track, Soleil’s lyricism traverses feelings of anxiety, growth and moving through the trials of life as you learn more about the world around you. The arrangements behind her is also powerful and driving, with piano, guitars, drums and bass all pushing the artist further into her passionate vocal performance.
