Captured on a bright summer’s day, the matching visuals correlate with the feel of the track comfortably. Each paired with a love interest, we follow Scratch and Dejour around as they endure the company of two beautiful young women. Speaking on the release Scratch commented, ”Soldier was made for the young lovers, giving the fans a smooth and melodic dancehall feeling”. With more music backed away in the vault, Scratch’s developing trajectory doesn’t stop here!
Following on from his recent ‘More Life’ release, not to mention his ‘One Sugar’ EP, ‘Solider’ is one of many drops this year from Scratch. Residing in South London, he first stepped onto the scene in 2014 with a selection of SoundCloud releases before seeding a string of videos on Linkup TV, and writing alongside Da Beatfreakz for reputable names including Swarmz, AJ and Deno.
