Posted on by swadedavillain

Canada based Artist King Cruff hasn’t been slowing down on his musical output, and he gets better and better. With a possible new project on the way, we know he has been piling up on the tracks, and is just teasing the world. For his latest single, he brings some good vibes along with a movie. Stop what you’re doing to check out, “Soufflé“.

With a track that has some retro sounds in the production, the video matches the vibe thanks to direction by Jake Arts for Lighter Juice Productions. We can’t help but bounce to “Soufflé”, and we need more tracks like this. King Cruff has never followed the crowd, and kept creating unique songs that made impressions everywhere they are played. For those who are older, remember those type of photoshoots that is seen in the video? Good times. King Cruff needs to announce a new project already.
