Jay Som shares a new video for ‘The Bus Song’
It’s directed by Japanese Breakfast!

All aboard the Jay Som bus!
After releasing her ace debut album ‘Everybody Works’ earlier in the year, Melina Duterte more recently started to put out some tracks under the name Melina Mae. For her latest video though, she’s returned to her Jay Som debut – and she’s brought Japanese Breakfast along to direct!
The video for ‘The Bus Song’ is every bit as charming as you’d want it to be, as Melina casually performs in a variety of locations while her bandmates get ready for a big day out. They dance on hilltops, pass out pink melodicas and make more than a few friends along the way. It’s pretty life-affirming stuff, so get ready to have a big ol’ smile on your face.
Earlier in the year we caught up with Melina to talk about ‘Everybody Works’. Read the full interview here.
