Tiny Habits face “the emotional aftermath of an intense breakup” on intimate new single ‘Belt Loop’
Boston trio Tiny Habits have released a new single, 'Belt Loop', which explores the vulnerable emotions of becoming intimate with someone new following an intense breakup. It is the third track shared from their upcoming second album 'Keepers', marking a shift towards a more soulful, R&B-influenced and "grown-up" sound as the band move beyond being seen as merely "cute" or "pretty".
'Keepers' is due for release on 28 August via Mom+Pop Music, following earlier singles 'Right In Front Of Me' and 'Anything He Was' (a collaboration with The 1975's Matty Healy). The album, written in Los Angeles and New York with producer Benjamin Millman, follows the band's 2024 debut 'All For Something' and the trio's rise from harmony-led cover videos made while studying at Berklee College of Music. Tiny Habits – Cinya Khan, Judah Mayowa and Maya Rae – recently played Newport Folk Festival, will perform a sold-out show at London's St Pancras Old Church on 7 August, and are set to appear at All Things Go Festival before launching their biggest North American headline tour in Dallas on 11 November.
In short
- Tiny Habits release new single 'Belt Loop' about post-breakup intimacy
- Third preview of second album 'Keepers', out 28 August
- Band tour North America from November after UK and festival dates
Explained simply
Tiny Habits are a Boston trio composed of Cinya Khan, Judah Mayowa and Maya Rae who studied at Berklee College of Music, initially gaining attention through harmony-led cover videos they posted online. They released their debut album 'All For Something' in 2024 and have since been growing in prominence through festival performances and headline shows.
The band are preparing their second album, 'Keepers', due on 28 August. Recorded with producer Benjamin Millman in Los Angeles and New York, the project represents a significant artistic shift towards a more soulful, R&B-influenced sound with deeper thematic content.
Songs on the album explore more vulnerable emotional territory, including the complexities of new relationships following a breakup. This marks a substantial step beyond the simpler aesthetic that initially defined the group.
