The purpose built next generation interstellar Dawn Richard thread

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

^^^^^^^^

new video:

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%?

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

Hey, new interview

freelancer for Washington Post likes her gig in tiny 2nd floor club

https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/dawn-richard-continues-the-part-at-the-fringes-of-electronic-randb-at-dc9/2016/03/15/2627c4c8-eab2-11e5-b0fd-073d5930a7b7_story.html

Both Richard and the audience fed off each other’s energy as the singer hopped through her discography, seemingly touched by the audience’s ecstatic reaction to every song, no matter how obscure. Focusing on the dancier side of her catalogue, Richard was a siren over propulsive grooves, synthesized melodies and waves of bass. She also dazzled with her dancing, balancing pneumatic contortions with sensuality.

I went to that; loved it. I had heard said about past shows that her performances had been kinda aimless or lackadaisical or something, but I didn't get that at all. She seemed totally committed (even though the 200-person club wasn't close to sold out) and sounded great. Crowd was great, too.

That room would be wall to wall people with 200 jammed into it. Probably wasn't sold out as that club usually just has obscure rock bands

I wish she would come to Seattle. The only time she was supposed to (circa Goldenheart), it got canceled.

as far as I can tell, this et aliae/Dawn track was never posted here, and it's quite pleasant.

Dawn, the Carpenter - http://www.mtv.com/news/2858256/dawn-richard-redemption-heart/?xrs=_s.tw_news

good interview

It's hard out there for a carpenter

great interview! glad it's all finally happening in terms of critical attention at least

there's been quite a lot to be suspicious of aesthetically recently (...the name change) but otoh "dance", "hollywould" and "not above that" are all fucking great. also she's working with jimmy edgar??? i hope there's no tuning down of anything, i hope it's the rawest house banger he can do

in june she's coming to portugal and i will see her live for the first time. i still can't believe it will happen.

I have no idea what this is on about, but you probably do:

At one point she was scheduled to play in Minneapolis two days ago. Weird now to imagine what that would've been like.

new song, up on spotify too
