Cubic Zirconia "Take Me High (Bart B More Remix)" Video + NYC Show 2/4

Posted on Jan 26th, 2012

The enormous Bart B More remix of Cubic Zirconia’s “Take Me High” has quickly become a DJ favorite (peep Diplo opening Holy Ship! with it and dropping on his radio show), and the band loves it too. So much, in fact, that they decided to film a video for the remix, with frontwoman Tiombe Lockhart once again pulling double duty on both sides of the camera to direct.

Watch it up top, grab the remix on iTunes or Beatport, and check more CZ vids (and Tiombe’s directorial tips) here.

Cubic Zirconia will be playing their first hometown show of the new year (and their first since opening SBTRKT’s sold-out Music Hall Of Williamsburg gig) on Saturday, February 4th at Drom. They’ll be shooting another vid there as well, so look sharp! We’ll see you there. Read More

Cubic Zirconia In V Magazine

Posted on Dec 15th, 2011

“Cubic Zirconia is a considerably new, definitively genre-bending venture put together by indie-music vets Tiombe Lockheart, Daud Sturdivant and Nick Hook. Combining Lockheart’s soulful coo and perfectly in-pocket rapping/chanting with the funky, electronically-tinged instrumentation of Sturdivant and Hook, the results are as diverse as the group’s lineup.” Check out what else V Magazine has to say about Cubic Zirconia here.

CZ’s debut album Follow Your Heart is out now, along with a single for “Take Me High” featuring a Bart B More remix and more.
