DAWN (formerly D∆WN/Dawn Richard) recently released a remarkable new single entitled “Jealousy,” shared a new track “Dreamer” as part of Adult Swim’s Singles series, and will embark on a DK3 Danity Kane reunion tour at the end of this month. Today, she announces an intimate and unique support tour experience with New Zealand’s Kimbra later this year, which will feature DAWN reimagining her solo work with nothing but her Moog synthesizer. See below to find a show near you (Kimbra dates in bold), and get your tickets when they go on-sale tomorrow HERE.
DAWN’s latest single “Jealousy” is the first track off a new album set for release in early 2019 through Local Action/Our Dawn Entertainment, DAWN’s first solo work released since 2016. Her previously released trilogy of solo records garnered critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Fader, FACT and more. She was also a featured guest vocalist on Dirty Projectors’ latest album. She will be on tour with her former Danity Kane band-mates under the banner DK3 this September/October, and also plays Adult Swim Festival this November, where she has been a curator and designer for the cable channel. As an actress, she was recently featured in the new season of HBO series Insecure, as well as the movies Five Weddings and Kinky, both out this Autumn.

Got my tickets for SF and I can't wait. Dawn and Kimbra, that's a good combination.

apologies for missing your post Maura; I just noted that unread.i've just been told by the promoter (and the website echoes it) that Dawn is no longer on the Brooklyn date; dunno if she's out for the whole of Kimbra's tour now or what.

was honored to work with the talented @spencerzahn on this incredible record. i wrote this about two kinds of people i’ve encountered. Birds and snakes. those who fly thru life’s trials and those who slither and poison “how can a bird really know a snake.”https://t.co/s9xqE9Lqhf pic.twitter.com/pIOLJIf1xU— DAWN (@DawnRichard) October 19, 2018

there is a ton going on. extremely into "dreams and converse," which sounds like Classixx without the detachment
― rob, Thursday, 17 January 2019 19:34 (five years ago) link
<3 the beat on "vultures", lovely vocal performance too … oh wait, "we, diamonds" just came on. This whole section of the record is classic Dawn
― Jeff W, Thursday, 17 January 2019 21:02 (five years ago) link
OK, all over. An admirably concise album (31 mins!), but lots to chew on.
― Jeff W, Thursday, 17 January 2019 21:03 (five years ago) link
Yeah I liked the brevity. Her albums tend to density so they can be exhausting in a single sitting. The Rosalia album is ~30 mins too and I think the effect is similar

the new album is formally available today. Seems like maybe her most enjoyable album on first contact? "Dreams and Converse" slaps
― monotony, Friday, 25 January 2019 04:51 (five years ago) link
all the love for this new album
― Nourry, Friday, 25 January 2019 09:45 (five years ago) link
This is terrific, definitely shorter on the pyrotechnics but it's probably her strongest collection of songs. Disco Dawn definitely the most intriguing of the paths previously not taken here.
― Matt DC, Friday, 25 January 2019 09:51 (five years ago) link
this is good and nicely of a piece but i definitely prefer pyrotechnic dawn. not that this is without its flourishes. spaces is the one imo

The disembodied voices on the title track are really quite affecting in a way I can't put my finger on. The Trapgerine Dream backing even more so.

this gets better every time i hear it
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 28 January 2019 01:28 (five years ago) link
Love this album.
But also it’s funny to think that after so long this is arguably her album that is most reminiscent of Last Train To Paris.

ok, now I have to listen
― k3vin k., Friday, 1 February 2019 21:05 (five years ago) link
Brad otm. A friend and I assign each other albums to listen to every few weeks, and I've been wondering how best to introduce someone to Dawn. I think this is the one
― rob, Friday, 1 February 2019 22:39 (five years ago) link
First time through this. "Vultures" is lovely.

Damn, Dawn. Why did you have to pick a date when I won’t be in the country? 😥😥😥

didn't expect her to turn up at my local 200-capacity pub venue

Guys I just met Dawn Richard after her Glasgow show and it was INCREDIBLE. The show was amazing, she had remixed her whole back catalogue and presented it as a megamix including DDM and DK tracks and it was insane how much energy and charisma she had and how euphoric the music sounded. Then at the end she was hanging about so I chatted to her and she said she had actually spotted me dancing and singing along (!) and then she did a hilariously accurate impression of me (!!!). Then we took some pictures and she was like "nah let's do some silly ones" hence the posing but she was so much fun and easily lovable and I didn't think I could adore her more but here I am

I mean im also quite tipsy but this might be the best night ever
that's awesome!
― Simon H., Monday, 15 April 2019 23:46 (four years ago) link
nice :) I've been hearing reports that the tour dates haven't been very well attended though, which is a shame

The Glasgow show was in a ~200 capacity venue and it wasn't so busy that I didn't have room to dance properly which is always my fear in small venues
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 07:44 (four years ago) link
I mean i can understand why it isn't a big draw - neither of her previous bands were actually that successful this side of the Atlantic and she is still a very niche artist. Which is a shame because it was easily one of the best gigs I've ever been to and the intimate venue really worked for it
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 07:46 (four years ago) link
very rad
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:30 (four years ago) link
cool picture. disappointing that she isn't more popular (just what does 2000 ILX posts get you these days???) but those small gigs are usually awesome.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:46 (four years ago) link
vultures on london tonight was intense. really good gig.
