One of my favorite new acts on the block is Cubic Zirconia, a trio fronted by Tiombe Lockhart on vocals, alongside Nick Hook and Daud Sturdivant on music making (and some vocals too). Here is their first video for the single “Josephine,” perhaps a tribute to Josephine Baker? Watch as Tiombe and co. get the dance party started in the jungle in this fresh b+w vid that makes direct reference to the rather racist old-timey black and white “Africa” movies. We love the CZ twist on the theme. The dog is amazing. What do you think? The Josephine EP is available now, with remixes by Waajeed (Platinum Pied Pipers), DJ Sega, Greenmoney and Egyptrixx.
