The purpose built next generation interstellar Dawn Richard thread

A very underrated record even in the context of Dawn's discography IMO

It's gorgeous so far. Listened to DJP's playlist off the Kendrick thread and fell for it hard enough to want to listen to everything chronologically

you know, I've never actually heard it

(A Tell Tale Heart I mean, I've heard all the songs I listed on the Kendrick thread lol)

a tell tale heart is amazing but i would return to it so much more if the sooooound quaaaaaality was proper

There's a sexy sense of fun on Tell Tale Heart (like on Hey, Vibrate, Biggest Fan) which I kinda miss on what's followed, great as it is

*Starts a kickstarter for a proper remastering of a Tell Tale Haert*

Yes pls. A cpl of tracks're actually kinda disconcerting to listen to w the way the levels peak/fade

Thank you!

"adderall/sold" prob my soty

This ain't rock'n'roll…

This ain't Dawn Richard any more either, apparently.

yeah i'm kinda scared of her working more with the fade to mind crew tbh. "honest" is really good but i fear them overly influencing her sound/aesthetic

that ship has sailed

she's working with fade to mind crew? Fuck. And the triangle...
Still love her, tho, but this Isn't good news. At all.

Apparently "Calypso" is very ~~divisive~~ among her fans.

dawn richards is not someone who i would second guess artistically right now; she's driving in her own lane
new song is interesting, but very much a demo

Apparently "Calypso" is very ~~divisive~~ among her fans.

the song or the video? always liked the song in the context of the album, think it stands out in a good way

i love the "calypso" video, very bizarre and arresting

"calypso" video is way too on the nose w/r/t stuff i've seen in björk and fka twigs videos i think; rev did you mean the song or the video are divisive?

she was working with the fade to mind crew at the same time as she was making blackheart so i hope she can still stay away from their lane

no comment on the triangle

song. half the comments on the youtube are complaints from fans who don't get it

surely her actual fans have had the song for 5 months already tho? i can see why it'd be divisive to casuals or the danity kane fandom remnant but oh well

Titans x new single James Dean

this video RULES

i almost missed this because of wacky name change but she's playing PS1's Warm Up series in August with Matias Aguayo and Murlo

James Dean is pretty good!

i'm glad the "titan" video goes back to her dance roots, but at the same time, i'm sad we came /this close/ to a "warriors" vid and didn't get it. "james dean" is good tho

"james dean" is amazing

so what does one wear to a Dawn Richard gig?

You dress well.

mirrored surfaces imo

deconstruct yourself into a dodecahedron sliced into a thousand equivalent pieces

^^ also sound life advice

omg lex: https://twitter.com/DawnRichard/status/605889279949012992

nice.

Not included in Lex's rapturous rundown, her version of 'Champagne Supernova'.

punching myself in the face as i type but tbh that is quite an apt cover actually, turned inward to interrogate self-reinvention/abnegation

wake up the dawn and ask her why, a dreamer dreams she never dies #neverthesubtlest

new song coming in three days courtesy of the Adult Swim Singles series

And here it is

https://twitter.com/DawnRichard/status/607931331557752832

After announcing this season's lineup for their acclaimed Singles program, Adult Swim is back today to share a new track from D∆WN (formerly Dawn Richard) today to kick off this year's program. "Running From Sane" finds the former Danity Kane/Dirty Money member at her most experimental - featuring a near 2-minute instrumental passage before she takes command of the track with her signature vocals.

Over/under on how long until she abandons the D∆WN moniker and goes back to Dawn Richard?

after D∆NITY KAN3 runs its course

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
