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

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?

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.
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 11 June 2015 06:02 (nine years ago) link

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.
― got a long list of ilxors (fgti), Thursday, 11 June 2015 13:28 (nine years ago) link
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.
― got a long list of ilxors (fgti), Thursday, 11 June 2015 13:30 (nine years ago) link
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
― got a long list of ilxors (fgti), Thursday, 11 June 2015 13:32 (nine years ago) link

anyway fgti otm even though i do prefer blackheart, and the front half has fucking adderall/sold
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Thursday, 11 June 2015 17:40 (nine years ago) link
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
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 11 June 2015 20:10 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 11 June 2015 20:48 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.
