In this new collaboration between Dax and Tom MacDonald, they say, “There are wars in everyone’s lives; it’s not just on the battlefield”. Viewed in that light, it is easy to remember that songs about heartbreak have always been equally popular, a shadow that permeates almost every single one. Everyone knows who Dax is, but it was not that easy back in Ukraine. Not being a native speaker, I can only imagine how many enemies he had; this idea alone can bring him solace. On November 8, 2024, the new “soldier” construction commences. Tom’s style can be interpreted in various ways; however, one cannot help but say it’s new and unique upon embracing it. What;s real is Dax’s self-written verses, which tell a story everyone can relate to. This track is impressive, and on its release, it quickly soared to number one on the charts because fans were everywhere for it so much that millions of fans supported the project on various social media platforms.
The video takes the viewer to Montana, where the “soldier” was recorded brimming with his passion. It allows music producers to construct a powerful production that pushes it to the higher end. A weaponization of technology in a song. This song hits differently, thanks to the immersive production, innovative storytelling, and flawless blending. Undoubtedly, the “soldier” was a worthy addition to Dax’s discography, and we can only hope that more will come. Dax’s lyrics and their delivery are powerful as he talks about his struggles and how he copes with them. Tom MacDonald features in the song, too, and his different yet dynamic style categories beautifully with the intensity that Dax brings. Together, they gel well with the song, making it even better within seconds of the first click of play; what a brilliant collaboration. The track has a story of not giving up, being exposed, and finding a keystone for someone in their battles; this gives hope and warmth, reminding them that they are not alone.
This single is an advance notice of Dax’s forthcoming album, released on 6th December 2024. “Soldier” tells us that the other songs on the record will also be highly emotional and thought-provoking. Dax explains, “The work that I’m doing is for the people, and it’s the people that I’ll tell to go spread it”, this is also seen in “Soldier”. It’s more than just a song; it is a song for all those fighting their wars, a testament that music can be a robust connector and source of courage.
