Today, rising singer, songwriter and performer JACOBBANKJS shares the visuals for his latest single “Chainsmoking.” The video was written and co-directed by Jacob Banks himself, and premiered earlier today via i-DMagazine. Banks explains that the video is “about resilience amongst the oppressed. It’s choosing to not give a shit, even when it hurts.” The track is taken from his critically acclaimed EP, TheBoyWhoCriedFreedom, which was released earlier this spring on Darkroom / Interscope Records.
Jacob Banks recently announced a new London show set for October 30th at the VillageUnderground, which quickly sold out. It has also been revealed that Banks will take his talents across North America this Summer and Fall, with performances set for major festivals including MontereyInternationalPopFestival’s 50thAnniversary, Firefly, Lollapalooza, TheMeadows, LifeisBeautiful, AustinCityLimits and more.
