Jack Antonoff & Bruce Springsteen Cruise New Jersey On First Bleachers Single Since 2017, “Chinatown” [Video]

Hit-making singer, songwriter, and record producer Jack Antonoff has officially revived his indie-pop act, Bleachers, with the release of two new songs, “45” and “chinatown”, the latter of which features a guest appearance by Bruce Springsteen. The two new singles are set to appear on the indie-pop act’s first new studio album since 2017’s Gone Now.

“Chinatown” was shared along with a music video featuring Springsteen and Antonoff, both of whom hail from New Jersey. Overlapping radio chatter eventually bleeds into the twinkling tune as the video intercuts vintage-looking footage of a more youthful Jack as a child with shots of him today, sporting a shirt emblazoned with the oh-so-very-Jersey greeting, “Welcome to New Jersey. Now, go home.” In Antonoff’s signature sonic style, the song builds in size and intensity as it approaches its Springsteen-assisted refrain. The Carlotta Kohl-directed video follows suit with a cameo from The Boss on Jack’s nostalgic cruise through the Garden State suburbs.

In addition to the “chinatown” video/single, Bleachers released a second new tune, “45”, a catchy acoustic guitar-centered track with a chorus that will surely have live audiences singing along when that day finally comes.
