Watch: Tune-Yards – ‘Heartbreak’

Tune-Yards, the dynamic duo of Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner, release new single ‘Heartbreak’, the second offering from their upcoming album Better Dreaming, out 16 May, showcasing some of their most effortlessly groove-filled music to date.

‘Heartbreak’ is the album’s opening track, building huge chords of Garbus’ vocal harmony around a fat slow-jam beat full of clicks, pops, samples, and dubbed snares. Garbus, soulful as ever, sings of heartbreak as fuel, as a challenge. In the world of Better Dreaming, a lyric like, “Watch me survive another heartbreak” hits like a call to action. The track is accompanied by a dynamic self-directed video, shot by DOP Sarah Jaffe.

‘Heartbreak’ follows the infectious first single ‘Limelight’, born from dancing together as a family to George Clinton, with Garbus and Brenner’s 3-year-old heard singing on the track.
