The purpose built next generation interstellar Dawn Richard thread

I just received the 5.4-inch floppy drive with the symbols!

i dunno about this adult swim track exactly

it's kind of whatever

Like everything she's done since Armor On, it's nice but underwhelming.

Her career bums me out. She's so talented, but also seems to have no direction. She just tosses music and projects out there, hoping something will stick, w/o ever throwing her full weight behind a single project.

Blackheart is fully realized and her best album to date.

This track is closer to the overtones of Goldenheart

“I’m super excited because Ester Dean has the first single. I had an opportunity to really stretch my wings out and I’m gonna bring it back home to what I’ve done mainstream-wise and what I’ve done commercially as a writer and really work with Ester Dean to get a big smash. She’s got me with this monster [hit], so we’re gonna release that. Look for our Summer release of that.

She just tosses music and projects out there

I wholly disagree, I think she and her producers are exploring the shared space between art-pop and R&B, and it's mostly unexplored territory and there's a lot of ground to cover, a lot of possibilities.

I smh at people who prefer Blackheart to Goldenheart, but maintain that it's a mix- or master- issue. Goldenheart is perfect songs throughout, but is mixed and mastered like a Bon Iver record, all space and no pressure. Blackheart is all pressure and bop but has such a weak front-half that I'm amazed that people even compare the two.

Also I may have already said this but stop if you don't want the song changed forever once you notice Dawn dropping her consonants on "The Deep" you're always gonna hear it as "I took it to the D" which is a fun line to get in your head at some points in your day

eh nah it's like an underwritten blackheart track

anyway fgti otm even though i do prefer blackheart, and the front half has fucking adderall/sold

The front half of Blackheart is maybe the best music she's ever made on her own.

I know that the main reason I like "Calypso" so much is because of the rampant Twin Peaks sampling but still, I really really REALLY like it.

we're almost halfway in and it's still in my top four albums of the year

it's highly possible that blackheart will end up being my favorite album of the year

None or this is true at all! In what way does Pretty Wicked Things have more space than Swim Free? The main problem with Goldenheart is sequencing, its pace is just wearying.

One of the reasons I dislike Blow is that it feels about a third slower than it should be, it hits that laboured trudging pace that Dawn employs for so much of Goldenheart.

for me it's the glitchy robotic vocoder parts

always think of this http://i.imgur.com/2tuQ06f.jpg

Not that the album form needed saving for me but "Blackheart" is the strongest statement on its behalf I've heard in a few years.

what is this

Dance is expected to be the lead single from the artist’s upcoming third solo studio album RedemptionHeart as well as the kick off track from Richard’s proclaimed ‘red era’. RedemptionHeart will be released early next year through her own label, Our Dawn. It will mark the third and final album in a trilogy centered around love, loss and redemption as a progressing narrative. Said trilogy began with the release of 2013’s Goldenheart.
“Dance” will be released on digital retailers and streaming platforms globally on Monday, September 28th. Check out a snippet below.

RedemptionHeart is one hell of a clunky title. W

she's calling it the red era now i think, which is a good idea

"Dance" is awesome.

and here we go; likely to disappear shortly.
i agree with some dude on first listen.

hell YEAH

It was cool that she dropped this during last night's lunar eclipse DYS

haha yeah i wonder if it just occurred to her that it'd be a good time to drop something from the project and ran with it. i went straight to itunes, can't think of when i've ever bought a new single without hearing it first but she has my confidence.

Ester Dean had a hand in this apparently

lost my shit during the last 30 seconds

^^^^^^^^

god "dance" is so good

okay I slept hard on "Dance", was all "I'm catching up on a lot of things, let me come back to this"

I just came back to this

holy shit

it took a week or two for me to really get into it but once i did it was def a holy shit moment

smashed it with the video too though i'm not convinced "billie jean" takes well to being edited
