For those of us that became teenagers in the 2010s, Bombay Bicycle Club were a band that became a crucial part of expanding our musical palette. And though it has been some time since we've heard from them, we at least still have the incomparable talents of frontman Jack Steadman, who has now been rebranded into the genre-bending Mr. Jukes.
As Jukes, he is fresh from releasing his debut album God First, a record that has seen him collaborate with the likes of BJ the Chicago Kid and De La Soul. As for the latter partnership, it produced a track titled "Leap of Faith," also featuring Horace Andy. We've got the premiere to the lush new music video for the track, and it features all three artists being morphed into Play-do-like cartoon characters. Needless to say, it's trippy. Watch it below.
