7 is the second studio album from British rhythm and blues musical group Sault. The album has been met with positive critical reception.

Critical reception

In The Guardian, Alexis Petridis reviewed both 5 and 7, giving them each five stars out of five, writing that both are "fantastic, walking an idiosyncratic path that zig-zags between ESG-esque post-punk funk, early 80s boogie and something approaching neo-soul, without ever really fitting into any of those categories or sounding like straightforward homage".[1] Reviewing the albums of the year for The Arts Desk, Barney Harsent gave 7 five out of five stars for writing compelling dance music but also deep soul music with "smooth intent and raw delivery" that are "as affecting combination as I’ve ever heard".[2] In Q, Chris Catchpole scored this four out of five stars due to its mix of musical features and moods.[3]

Citing their first two albums, Paste declared Sault one of the 15 new British bands that audiences should listen to in 2020.[4]
