There are at least four acts called Solo. 1. a Dutch indie singer-songwriter duo 2. an American hip-hop artist based in New York 3. an American rhythm and blues/soul musical group 4. a South African hiphop artist based in Johannesburg 1. Solo is the band name used by Dutch singer-songwriter Michiel Flamman and his musical partner-in-crime, Simon Gitsels. The duo released three albums of melodic, melancholic songs on the esteemed Dutch indie label Excelsior Recordings: Songs 'n Sounds (2004), Solopeople (2006) and Before We Part (2008), before splitting up. Flamman toured the third album on his own (Solo was finally solo...), but by 2010 this had petered out. A compilation album entitled This Is Solo (2010) was the final release. Flamman moved to Berlin and released an album under the moniker Unterwelten. Before working with Gitsels (in 2000, to be precise) Flamman also released an album as J Perkin and briefly fronted the band Perkin. Gitsels also relocated to Berlin, where his old friendship with Flamman was rekindled. This, ultimately, after both Flamman and Gitsels had moved back to their native Netherlands, led to the rebirth of Solo. It was first announced in late 2022. An album of old live recordings (Solo Live) was released in April 2023, followed by an EP of (mostly) shelved outtakes from 2008, entitled It Is Real (2024). Meanwhile, a brand new comeback album of new studio material was in the making. However, by the time New Men was released on 9 May 2025 the 'comeback album' had become a 'farewell album', due to Flamman's tragic diagnosis with metastatic lung cancer in December 2024. 2. SoLo (Pat Jamieson) who studied at Hofstra University - Hampstead, New York is now currently making a high boom in the music industry and as hyped on YouTube and is continuing his works with other 'underground' artists such as Miles Malcolm, Young Mel and Swagga Bob. His most popular song 'Movin' Out' featured Swagga Bob and Young Mel and managed to get 100K hits in around 8 months. Another song 'The News' hit 100K views. Now working on his new song 'Studio Therapy' he is planning on big things. 3. Eunique Mack, Darnell Chavis and Daniele Stokes performed on the streets of New York in the early 1990s. The production team of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis overheard the guys and helped them get established. The bassist Robert Anderson joined the group to make them a quartet and the line-up that would be known as Solo. The group also had a fifth member named James Smith died before the group met Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. The group dedicated an interlude to him on their debut album. The group recorded their self-titled debut album in Minneapolis and released it in 1995. Released on A&M Records, the album featured production by Jam & Lewis. The album scored several minor hits, with its biggest being "Heaven" and "Where Do U Want Me To Put It." The two tracks reached #7 and #8 on the R&B charts respectively. The album moved enough copies that by early 1996, it managed to go gold. Because the group's solo album did well enough to go gold, the group was able to release a second album, 4 Bruthas and a Bass in 1998. The album had a small hit with "Touch Me" which reached #26 on the R&B charts. After Perspective Records folded shortly after the rest of the group decided to focus on other endeavors as members Eunique Mack and Darnell Chavis released solo albums. Also Darnell Chavis and Daniele Stokes formed a production company called DarDan Entertainent. After spending several years working on solo material Eunique Mack, Darnell Chavis, Daniele Stokes, and Robert Anderson have reunited and are working on a new Solo project coming in 2009.
