About this album

Soldier is a taut, sharp-edged Iggy Pop album that bridges his raw punk instincts with a more streamlined new wave sound. Released in 1980, it followed his late-1970s solo breakthrough and found him working with a leaner, more disciplined approach without losing the danger or sneer that defined his reputation. Songs such as Loco Mosquito and I Need More show his mix of bite, wit and street-level urgency, while the album’s tight arrangements helped make it one of the clearest statements of his early solo period. It stands as a strong snapshot of Iggy Pop adapting to the new decade on his own terms.
