Jacob Banks – Chainsmoking

Rising singer/songwriter Jacob Banks releases his brand new single, “Chainsmoking,” a fiery, hard-hitting anthem from his upcoming EP, The Boy Who Cried Freedom (set for release later this Spring).

“Chainsmoking is about understanding that shit may be hard, but we push on any way,” Jacob Banks told The FADER. “I am really happy to share it, the sound mixes old and new vibes which is done across the EP in different colors.”

Much like his previous release “Unholy War,” “Chainsmoking” features both vintage and modern element in sound; Banks’ vocal delivery provides the vintage soul while the track offers modern electric sounds.
