Cameron & The Slumberknights are back with a fearsome new single ‘Lil Soldier’, which is arguably the band’s best work yet. Fronted by Cameron Donald, the South African rapper-songwriter neat flow is concise, clear, and boasts an authentic narrative of growing up.
Talking about the new track, Cam shares:
“Lil’ Soldier’s verses were written across a year – between Summer 2019 and Summer 2020. It was actually recorded during the same sessions as our sophomore single ‘Midnight’, if you can believe it! That period of time covered mine and Jim’s (Creature.) graduation, as well as the first COVID-19 lockdown in the UK. It was a time of change and uncertainty, when we were all looking for a light at the end of the tunnel. I think the song reflects that and paints a vivid picture of my own early twenties, where I’d be rocking my beat-up trainers (often a pair of Air Max, or in Lil’ Soldier’s case, some Chuck Taylors!) through London –rain or shine, dusk or dawn – trying to catch a break.“
