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

fuckin' hell that's lovely

"hollywould" is really great...love the way, at this stage, she has the confidence to release a straightforward songcraft-focused track like that

also "james dean" and "dance" have been such slow burners - nice, impressive etc on first listen, but only months later you realise how they've sunk themselves into you

she has been very good at avoiding some of the pitfalls that could have loomed post-blackheart

Another day, another… WOAH

has anyone had a good experience seeing her live? i've only heard tales of disappointment.

nsfwwwwwww

My mixed take from 2015--

I saw Dawn before a smallish 100 or so person crowd at the Howard Theatre. Dawn was full of energy, dancing and projecting her voice and chatting in between songs about Fat Tuesday (she is from New Orleans) her album and how she makes each gig different (NY had dancers). Some younger NY singer Alan Michael was down in DC & jumped onstage to duet with her on "86" and "Physical." One of her 3 keyboardists got jazzy at times, while the drummer was going for a Big eaasyish polyrhythmic funky thing. At times her model poses and tv reality show belting was a tad too much, and some rough sound at the beginning hurt a few cuts. She did most of the new album in her 1 hr & 15 minute set

I get the feeling she may redeem herself with these new shiws anyways, ship

i'm into it.
it is um interesting that all of her promotional material features her breasts

one-upsmanship on Lady Gaga's pogrom against pants

i am curious what percentage of 2015 p&j voters for blackheart are ilxors. more than 40%?

has anyone had a good experience seeing her live? i've only heard tales of disappointment.

Her 2013 Seattle show got canceled. :(

the drop at 1.30 on that new song is DOOOOOOOPE
i will be at her march show in NYC if she don't cancel.

basically dawn richard referencing "the glamorous life" is what i've been missing

Not Above That actually sounds like a Dawn Richard and Maya Vik collabo should sound. I definitely like this.

Dawn + Machinedrum is a very nice thing. does Redemption have a release date yet?

oh i love how this turns into a real light-headed rush in its second half

She's going from playing the big and higher profile Howard Theatre in Washington DC early last year to the tiny DC-9 rock club this March.

the run from "gleaux" to "86" on goldenheart is my favorite shit ever. glad i finally "got" this record

So glad she didn't name "Blow" as "Bleaux"

lol
