Video Premiere: Tiny Hearts - "Centerfold" (dir. Aron Kantor)

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Tiny Hearts (Waajeed, Dede Reynolds & Tim K) present the video for "Centerfold" from their forthcoming STAY EP, dropping September 17th via Jeedo's Dirt Tech Reck. The group formed following a chance meeting at a New York bar that led the trio to share tracks and ultimately collaborate on a few remixes. Waajeed and Tim K bring their vast musical experiences and expertise to the table to create a gritty foundation that relies heavily on melodic and lyrical potency. Those elements are employed in a delicate balance that marries the trio's homegrown influences by pulling from the best of their sonic foundations in Detroit and Los Angeles. Dede Reynolds brings the whole thing home with an affect that combines a bit of enigmatic gypsy mysticism with a healthy serving of old Hollywood charm; her floating vocal absolutely kills over the thumping bass synth on the track. Following a glowing endorsement from Benji B and two years of work on the project, the STAY EP is finally ready for your ears. Director Aron Kantor has stepped to the plate to deliver a stunning visual for "Centerfold" that draws artistic inspiration from Dario Argento, providing a solid introduction for the uninitiated. There is nothing small about the sound of Tiny Hearts. Check the footage below to get a taste of "Centerfold" from Tiny Hearts. Purchase Tiny Hearts' forthcoming Stay EP via Dirt Tech Reck on September 17th.
