Video: Mr. Jackson, “Sometimes”

Dapper, incarcerated singer blends R&B and EDM (in a good way).

FADER PREMIERE

"Sometimes" is the lurching, self-skeptical new single from singer Mr. Jackson, a member of The Gourmet Family collective who, following a drug trafficking charge, began serving time at California's Maguire Correctional Facility last week. Exploring the same buzzsaw bass and nocturnal hooks hybrid of R&B futurist KES' excellent Audio Justice EP, the track is taken from The Gourmet Family's November 2013 Amuse Bouche compilation; in its video, a night of well-dressed misanthropy spirals terribly toward the hospital.
