Watch: Jesse Boykins III - The Wonder Years

Jesse Boykins III has released the visual for his single “The Wonder Years” off his smooth soulful eclectic album Love Apparatus. The video creates a montage of memories of performances, travels, fashion, and etc from his recent tours around the UK and US. “The Wonder Years” is one of the most rhythmic tracks on the album, and the video falls nothing short of exactly what the song means.

The amazing aspect of the video is that it flows so effortlessly utilizing not only fully developed film, but film that had been distorted at some point throughout the process. The story goes that while Jesse was overlooking his photos taken from the tour, many of them had appeared blacked and beamed out.
