Souldier is the second studio album by French singer-songwriter Jain. It was released on 24 August 2018 through Spookland, Columbia and Sony Music. Its release was preceded by the lead single "Alright". The album's title is a play-on-words between 'soldier' and 'soul'.

The album debuted at number one in France and the French-speaking part of Switzerland (Romandie), number two in Switzerland and at number three in Wallonia.[2] Jain toured North America in support of the album, beginning in October 2018,[2] followed by dates in western Europe in November and December 2018.[3] The tour will continue in France in spring 2019.[4]

Release and promotion

The album's title, cover and track listing were announced on 29 June 2018 and it was made available for pre-order.[5]

On 25 May 2018, "Alright" was released as the album's lead single. A music video for the song was released on 25 June 2018. The song reached number one on the French downloads chart[6] and five on the overall singles chart.[7] In January 2019, it was certified platinum.[8]

On 8 October 2018, "Oh Man" was released as the album's second single.[9][10] A music video for the song was released on 21 December 2018. It was filmed at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.[11]

Themes

The title track was inspired by the Orlando nightclub shooting,[15] while the song "Star" is about the position of young women in the music industry.[12]

Critical reception

{{Album ratings
| rev1 = NME
| rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[13]
}}

Reviewing the album for NME, Thomas Smith awarded the album four out of five stars and complimented its "diverse palette of influences" and "endearing moments", including "Inspecta", with Smith naming it "one of the most exhilarating songs of 2018" that is "basically just the Inspector Gadget theme tune given a trendy trap makeover".[13] Smith also acclaimed "Alright" for its "drum'n'bass with an Afrobeat flair". He also singled out "Dream", calling it "stripped-back Euro-tinged pop that's hinged on Jain's piercing vocals." In conclusion, he stated "Fortune favours the ones with love in their hearts, and Jain's Souldier shows bagfuls."[13]

Will Hermes, writing for Rolling Stone, noted Jain's "flow jump-cutting between pan-African dancehall chat and Europop chirp with matter-of-fact fluency — think M.I.A. as ingénue".[1] He called the album "another sly charmer, sung in English but stylistically polyglot".[1]
