Vexscheworld had previously named the Song “Soldier” as the
headliner of Falz’s sophomore studio album named “Stories that touch”. The bahd guy definitely knew he had to blow
us away with this video, little did we know he would not only blow us away but also take
us to the moon. Soldier (The Video) boasts a staggering 14: 35 minutes! It is
actually a movie!
We all know Falz recently bagged a movie award at the just
concluded African magic viewers choice award for best actor in a comedy, (
Jenifa’s Diary ) , He decided to give us
the best of both worlds by thrilling us
with music, and comedy.
The video opens showing Falz and some of his “Soldier pals trying to
rescue simi and her colleagues from the
captivity of gangsters. Then does a flash back to when Falz had been trying to
woe Simi to no avail. He only gets embarrassed by her friends and her mother.
After she tells him off, Simi is kidnapped by Ganisters and Falz is called onto
taunt him to come to the rescue by gangsters.
The video clarity is awesome!! Shot by Capital dreams
pictures. It is also comical as Falz gives us a performance of his comic
double. The song itself comes on around 5:15 seconds into the video.
We are treated to the awesome vocals of Simi and the rapping
prowess of the Bahd guy! Till the musical terminates around 8 :34 seconds into the
video.
The acting performance of the characters in the video was
very good. Simi did not do badly with acting also, she may soon be on her way
to nollywood stardom!
We also noticed a funny reference made to the headies Fiasco
of Donjazzy and Olamide when the lead gangster tells Falz “if you want the
girl, come and collect the her”
The video is top notch and we at vexscheworld see it bagging
a lot of awards soon!!
Once again, Falz and Simi have given us a good production,
the music chemistry between these two is STRONG !!
