12.4.12 - New Music - Gavin DeGraw

I have never been the biggest Gavin DeGraw fan, but I also don’t hate him either. His music is good, and I can get into it from time to time, but it just never really struck me.

His new single “Soldier”, might change that.

If the song isn’t enough for you, the newly-released video should push things over the edge. The camera goes around an average town, looking at everyday people. Each person has a short story showing how they themselves are a soldier, a hero. It’s a sweet concept, and it is executed very well.

“Soldier” is the third single from his fourth album ‘Sweeter’. I find it strange that they are releasing and promoting this single now, as the album came out last September, and the second single was put out over a year ago. DeGraw has been silent since…until now. Wouldn’t you think they would wait for a new album or something?

Anyways, the song is nice, and I like what he did with the video. Well done Gavin.
