The Bullitts – ‘Close Your Eyes’ (feat. Jay Electronica & Lucy Liu)

The Bullitts is the all-star project led by one Jeymes Samuel which so far has featured or is set to feature Roisin Murphy, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jay Electronica, Lucy Liu, Passion Pit and Mos Def.

There’s an album coming called They Die By Dawn and Other Short Stories and their Youtube flixTapes and Twitter suggest that the project will be based on flipping movie themes, film visuals and vocals into new tracks.

There’s an interview/mockumentary drama thing with Jeymes Samuel and Idris Elba. Part One. Part Two

‘Close Your Eyes’ is a boom-bap hip-hop song which is cinematic in scope featuring narration from Lucy Liu and verses from Jay Electronica.
