"NEED Me" DYLN - VIDEO PREMIERE

---

Los Angeles based Pop/RnB artist DYLN teams up with artist and creative director GREY for her latest visual offering for her newest, sultry pop single “Need Me” - A video shot on an iPhone during COVID-19 and created under the restrictions of quarantine and self-isolation. After first seeing GREY’s work in a LADYGUNN publication on social media in 2017, DYLN reached out on a whim expressing interest in collaboration. The two artists have since created a long, impressive body of visual work and creative content all throughout her releases since 2018, including 2 EPs, her debut album “Rings” and her most recent single “Need Me” - a sonically healing piece of work about self-care.

DYLN x GREY’s creative collaboration is inventive, unorthodox, and daring - A true gem to watch unfold. A perfect marriage between art and music. DYLN releases her new music video “Need Me” concurrently with GREY’s directorial debut on August 5th, 2020.

“Something about quarantine made us more creative. At first, we were just going to make a simple lyric video, then it turned into why don’t we just go out and film shit? Then it turned into us both getting knocked around by the waves in the Palisades, soaked, dirty and bruised after being dragged in the sand. The greatest part about collaborating with GREY is I never know where it’s going to go, but I always trust that wherever we land it’s going to be amazing. And the most fun is just getting there.” - DYLN

“This video started as a small idea and has now transformed into a fully realized music video. I’m very proud of the ideation behind this concept. It's exciting and fulfilling for me to be able to support DYLN’s music by creating visuals that enhance every experience/emotion that she is expressing in her honest lyrics. It’s always an honor to work with an artist as skilled, talented, and genuine as DYLN. She always trusts the vision and process. We continuously make show-stopping visuals, even when restricted by a global pandemic. ” - GREY
