Jamie Duffy releases Official Video for 'Solas'
Jamie Duffy has released his official video for his track ‘Solas’.
Solas’ (Irish for ‘light’) was, quite literally, an overnight success. This hope-filled, inspirational, luminous piece of music started to resonate with listeners from around the world, from Turkey to Chile, Ukraine to France and beyond. A universal balm for those seeking comfort in sound away from the troubled times in which we live.
Fast-forward to October and Jamie Duffy and ‘Solas’ continue to find new fans around the world. The track has racked up an impressive 21 million plays on Spotify and over 6 million plays on YouTube. It is the most streamed debut release by an Irish artist of 2022, competing with tracks by some of Ireland’s most successful international names. Jamie adds: “Seeing the reaction and growth of ‘Solas’ since I released it back in February has been unexpected, mind blowing and amazing. It’s been incredible to see how the music has touched so many people in different ways.”
Newly signed to leading Irish independent label Rubyworks, ‘Solas’ now has an official video to accompany the track, filmed in Antrim and directed by UK-based female director Wolf James. Back to Jamie to summarize: “The team and I have put blood, sweat and tears into the upcoming music video, one which I think is going to be very fitting to ‘Solas’, and will portray that sense of light and hope that’s in the music, in a visually breathtaking and beautiful way.”
Jamie Duffy has been back in the studio working on new music for release next year. While we wait for that, there is no better introduction to the musical world of Jamie Duffy than ‘Solas’.
