Jack Steadman has taken a sharp turn away from Bombay Bicycle Club upon the launch of his new solo project.
Under the moniker Mr Jukes, Steadman is exploring his love of jazz, soul and funk on the Angels/Your Love track with the help of BJ The Chicago Kid. “BJ was the first person I collaborated with on this record, and if you listen to the horns in the chorus of this song, that was the feeling I had coming out of the studio that day,” he explains.
“Pure awe and excitement. I decided right then not to call this a solo record, but to seek out as many collaborators as I could.”
It was debuted as Radio 1’s Hottest Record In The World and is the first shared from the forthcoming God First album, due June 9th on Island.
